Fact-check the claims in a piece of text
Pulls out every checkable claim from a text, rates how likely each is to be true, and says how to verify it.
Fact-check the text below.
<text>
{{TEXT}}
</text>
1. List every factual claim that could be checked, numbered and quoted exactly. Ignore opinions.
2. For each claim give:
- Verdict: likely true, likely false, misleading, or can not judge
- Confidence: high, medium or low
- Reason in one sentence
- How to verify it: the type of source that would settle it
3. If you have web access, cite the source you used for each verdict. If you do not, say that verdicts are from your training data and may be out of date.
Be especially careful with numbers, dates, quotes and "studies show" claims.Example output
Claim 1: "Honey never spoils." Likely true. Check: food science sources on archaeological honey. Claim 2: "Goldfish have a 3-second memory." Likely false. Studies show months. Claim 3: "Sales rose 40% last year." Can not judge, needs the company report.
How to use
Use a model with web search for current claims. For important claims, run the check twice or in two different models and treat disagreement as a reason to look it up yourself.
Why it works
Splitting text into individual claims makes checking manageable and stops one true statement from lending credibility to a false one. Asking for confidence and verification routes turns the model into a guide rather than the final judge.
