Claim scorecard

Claims, checked. Prove us wrong.

Politicians, brands and CEOs say “this caused that” all the time. We check the claims against the data, publish every verdict with a receipt that can't be edited later, and pay anyone who shows one of our verdicts is wrong.

“Can't confirm” means the effect couldn't be told apart from what would have happened anyway. It is not a claim that the statement is false. Each check measures one claim against the data given; it is not a judgement of any person.

Ask for a check

Seen a claim worth checking? Send it in. After a quick review it joins the queue below, and the most-voted claims are checked first. We need public data for it: link it if you know where it is.

Public statements and public data only, please: no claims about private people.

Prove us wrong: ₹2,000 per verdict

What counts

Show, with public data, that a published verdict doesn't hold: the data was wrong, a comparison series was itself affected by the change, the change date was wrong, or a reasonable fix flips or erases the result.

What happens

Your challenge goes into the public record the moment you send it, so it can't be quietly dropped. We rule on it within 14 days and publish the ruling and our reasons in the record too, whichever way it goes.

If you're right

The verdict is marked withdrawn on its page and share card, and the first person to show it gets the reward, paid by UPI or bank transfer. The payment is noted in the record. One reward per verdict.
