The Truth-o-meter
Every Apprise story carries a trust signal built from cross-outlet corroboration — so you always know how well-sourced what you're reading really is.
Gather coverage
For every story we pull how the same event is reported across a wide set of major outlets.
Compare the core facts
We isolate the claims at the heart of the story and measure how many independent outlets agree on them.
Score & tier
Agreement becomes a 0–100 score, coarsened into three honest tiers so the signal is impossible to miss.
Multiple major outlets independently corroborate the core facts.
Outlets diverge on framing or key details — read with context.
Only one or two outlets are running this story so far.

Trust tiers are computed per story from independent outlet corroboration. Open any story to see the full numeric score, the outlets that agree, and the spectrum of how each one framed it.
Methodology note: scores come from an analyst model that reads the available coverage of a story and rates how strongly the core facts corroborate across independent angles. While our full multi-outlet feed is still coming online, corroboration is measured across the AP wire's independent reporting angles on the same story — single-source stories are capped conservatively and labelled as limited. Scores refresh on a rolling basis, so a story may show as analyzing until its first pass completes.
