KSJ Three-Model Fact-Checking · ICD 203 · UK PHIA · ALCOA

The name on your desk, turned into a sourced, cited profile.

These are the kinds of names that cross a reporter's desk every week. Enter one and MentionFox returns a profile where every claim links back to where it came from — a verdict, the evidence behind it, and citations in your house style.

Source claim A source's public statement, on the record before deadline

"I ran that program for eight years and we never missed a single audit."

→ MentionFox builds a cited profile of the source: the roles and dates they actually held, what the record says about that program, and which parts of the claim are verified, which are unconfirmed, and which contradict the timeline — each line linked to its evidence before you put it in print.
Investigation subject The person at the center of a story you are mapping

"There's no connection between me and that company. I've never had any involvement with them."

→ MentionFox maps the subject's network and affiliations into a sourced diagram — the people, entities, and roles that connect to them and to each other — so you can see the relationships, follow the timeline, and cite each link rather than assert it.
Public figure on the record Someone whose statements today need to be checked against the past

"I have always supported this position. My view on it has never changed."

→ MentionFox returns a track record and dated timeline of the figure's prior public statements, the reputation and sentiment around them, and a side-by-side of where today's words line up with — or contradict — what they said before, with a citation on every entry.

Four steps, from a name to a profile you can file behind.

No black box. You start with a name and end with a sourced, cited profile where you can stand behind every line.

Step 1

Enter a name

Type the source, subject, or public figure you're writing about. One name is enough to start.

Step 2

Build the cited profile

MentionFox assembles roles, dates, affiliations, and the record into one profile — every claim linked to the evidence behind it.

Step 3

Verify claims and map the network

Each factual claim gets a verdict and confidence tier. The network around the subject is mapped, with the timeline laid out so contradictions surface.

Step 4

File with confidence

Export the profile with citations in your house style. Ship the piece knowing each line points back to where it came from.

Built for the work a newsroom actually does.

Each surface returns a sourced, cited result — never a guess, never an unattributed claim.

Coverage across surfaces

A profile pulls from many surfaces at once, so the network and timeline come back whole rather than one thread at a time. See coverage.

Citations in your style

Every verdict ships with citations pre-formatted in APA, MLA, Chicago, Bluebook, or AMA — paste straight into your draft. See all features.

Manual background research finds facts. We find facts you can cite.

Working a name by hand means hours across tabs with nothing linked together. Generic people-search sites hand you an unsourced data dump you can't put in print. MentionFox returns one profile where every claim carries its evidence.

Manual background research

Hours of open tabs, scattered notes, and a network you're holding in your head. The facts may be right, but nothing is linked, nothing is dated, and you rebuild it from scratch for the next name.

Generic people-search

An unsourced dump of addresses and relatives with no verdict, no confidence, and no citation. You can't stand behind a single line of it on the record, so it never makes the piece.

MentionFox

One sourced profile: claims verified with a confidence tier, the network mapped, the timeline laid out, and a citation on every line in your house style. Vet a subject or see a sample.

Four scenarios. Same engine.

The Verification Vetter scales from a 1,200-word filing to a 280-page manuscript. Three tiers map to budget and rigor.

Newsroom editorial

Your reporter files a 1,200-word piece at 4pm for a 6pm deadline.

You paste it into Verification Vetter. In under 3 minutes, you see 23 factual claims, 19 verified with primary sources, 3 flagged "low confidence — verify by hand," and 1 flagged "citation broken — author claims a 2019 study, link is dead." You ship the piece with confidence.

Newspaper tier · $2/pg
Book publisher pre-publication

You're publishing a 280-page non-fiction book.

Traditionally you'd skip fact-checking or pay a freelancer $5K-$20K. Instead, you run the manuscript through Verification Vetter at $40/page = $11,200 — but with primary-source-callback simulation, every claim flagged for human pre-pub verification, and citation suggestions in Chicago style. Same rigor as the New Yorker's fact-checking department.

Magazine tier · $40/pg
Podcast narrative episode

You're producing a 45-minute investigative podcast episode.

You upload the audio. Verification Vetter transcribes it, identifies every checkable claim by speaker, verifies against public sources, and returns a timestamped report. "Claim at 14:32 ('the company had 12,000 layoffs that year') — verified by Reuters Aug 2024." Ship without legal fear.

Newspaper tier · $2/pg per transcript page
Screenwriter biopic legal vetting

You're writing a biopic of a still-living public figure.

Verification Vetter cross-checks every factual claim against public record, flags defamation risk per claim (is this person a public figure? Does this claim imply criminal or immoral behavior? Is it sourced?), and produces a "dramatic license inventory" showing what's documented vs what would require invention. The entertainment lawyer's job goes from $500/hour to a final review.

Magazine tier

Every claim returns evidence, verdict, citations.

No black-box scoring. Each verdict shows the source URLs, the matching passage, the confidence tier, and citations pre-formatted in the style you picked.

CLAIM 17 of 23 "The 2023 study by Stanford University found that 67% of remote workers..." VERDICT: Verified (high confidence) EVIDENCE: - Stanford WFH Research, Aug 2023, https://wfhresearch.com/data - Specific page: "Among surveyed workers, 67% reported..." - Date confirmed: Aug 15, 2023 - PHIA confidence: Substantial likelihood CITATIONS (in your chosen style): APA: Stanford WFH Research. (2023). Remote work productivity study. https://wfhresearch.com/data MLA: Stanford WFH Research. "Remote Work Productivity Study." 2023, wfhresearch.com/data. Chicago: Stanford WFH Research. 2023. "Remote Work Productivity Study." https://wfhresearch.com/data. SUGGESTED EDITS: - Add citation marker after "67%" - Specify "Stanford WFH Research" rather than "Stanford University" (the study was by the WFH Research team, not the university broadly)
