How it works
Verified journalists publish
Contributors verify their identity and publish first-hand investigative reporting with required source citations.
Integrity is enforced
Reputation scoring, source requirements, and distribution controls ensure quality without editorial interference.
Revenue goes to reporters
85% of subscription revenue flows directly to journalists, weighted by readership and integrity track record.
Our principles
Truth is a process, not a badge
We use "supported," "disputed," and "insufficient sourcing" - never "verified true." Process language is defensible and honest.
Verification is publication
Any account that publicly validates a claim assumes the same responsibility and consequences as if it had published the claim itself.
Identity where it matters
Readers can be pseudonymous. Revenue-earning contributors must be verified humans. Bans have real consequences.
Incentives over intentions
Revenue, distribution, and reputation are tied to demonstrated integrity. Good intentions don't survive scale - incentives do.
Everything is auditable
Every claim, edit, and action is attributable, versioned, and reversible. No silent memory-holing.
