Investigate a claim
Claim Investigator Investigate a viral claim with lateral reading — leave the page and check what other sources say first. Every example is made-up. Spot the Tactic Name the misinformation trick — cherry-picking, fake experts, loaded framing, false balance, and more. Evaluate a Post Read a made-up social post and decide — can you trust it? Read the signals, not the vibes. Build an Investigation Chain the checks in the right order and reach an honest verdict on a claim — the order is the skill. Why Did This Spread? Two made-up posts, one topic — predict which spread farther, then see that reach is built from feelings and outrage, not from being true.

Meet the cast — the characters who teach this
-
Claim Claim-identification — what EXACTLY is being asserted? distinguish claim from opinion from feeling from prediction -
Weigh Credibility-evaluation — who's in a position to KNOW? what stake? calibration not verdict (shared design language with DebateForge Weigh) -
Trace Evidence-traceback — where does this claim ORIGINATE? what's the chain? open four tabs; follow it back -
Update Belief-revision — being WRONG is how knowledge MOVES; visibly carry old-guess and new-guess as data (shared design language with DebateForge Yield) -
Wonder Epistemic-humility — 'I don't know yet' is the START of knowing; trust calibrated to evidence; counter-cynicism -
Prove Falsifiability — what would change my mind? a belief you could NEVER be proven wrong about isn't strong, it's just stuck -
Vivid Anecdote vs. data — one dramatic story feels truer than a hundred quiet ones; ask: is this ONE story, or the whole picture? -
Norm Base rates — before you panic at a scary number, ask how OFTEN it usually happens; most 'shocking' things turn out normal -
Yardstick Context — 'a lot' and 'a little' mean nothing on their own; always ask: compared to WHAT? -
Cull Cherry-picking / representativeness — anyone can find a few examples for anything; the real question is what got LEFT OUT?
