Disclaimer & right of reply

Every Fountem verdict is an assessment based on the cited evidence, not definitive proof. Evidence can be incomplete, contested, or superseded. Where the evidence is inadequate we say unverifiable rather than guess. We show the sources behind every verdict so you can check our work.

Verdict text is generated by AI language models grounded in the cited evidence, and may be human-reviewed before publication. We disclose this so you can weigh it appropriately.

Do not rely on a verdict as the sole basis for any decision, publication or allegation. A verdict is one input alongside the primary sources and your own judgement. Fountem is non-partisan, is not affiliated with any party or campaign, does not tell anyone how to vote, and does not provide legal or professional advice. See our terms.

If you are the subject of a verdict and believe it is wrong or unfair, you can challenge it and provide evidence. We aim to acknowledge within 2 working days and resolve within 10, and we correct rather than silently delete — amended verdicts are marked as updated.
