Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Fact-check the following social media post: '[POST]'. Identify any factual claims, then gather evidence to verify each claim. For each claim, evaluate the independence of sources and check for rhetorical fallacies. Present your findings in a clear, structured report format.

Example Output

After analyzing the social media post about the new 'EcoClean' laundry detergent, here's the fact-checking report:

1. Claim: 'EcoClean removes 99.9% of stains in a single wash.'
   - Verification: Independent lab tests show 92-95% stain removal efficiency, not 99.9%. The 99.9% claim appears to be an exaggeration.
   - Sources: Manufacturer's website, Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping Institute
   - Fallacies: None detected

2. Claim: 'EcoClean is the only detergent that's 100% biodegradable.'
   - Verification: False. Several other brands (e.g., Seventh Generation, Ecover) also offer 100% biodegradable detergents.
   - Sources: EPA certification database, brand websites
   - Fallacies: Black-and-white fallacy (false dichotomy)

3. Claim: 'EcoClean uses patented GreenEnzyme technology.'
   - Verification: True. Patent US10125376B2 confirms this technology is unique to EcoClean.
   - Sources: USPTO database
   - Fallacies: None detected

Conclusion: The post contains one exaggerated claim and one false claim. The patent claim is verified.
