Tracera

Every story is a stack of claims.

Tracera takes them apart one at a time, checks each against sources it can name, and shows whether the evidence supports, contradicts, or leaves each one unresolved.

Sample excerpt, as Tracera marks it

“New research shows the policy cut household energy costs by 40% in its first year1, and ministers say2 every home will feel the benefit before winter, no matter where they live or what they earn3.”

1

Supported

A supplied source record quotes the 40% figure; corroboration is shown only when sources are independently validated.

2

Not a claim

Attributed to ministers rather than stated as fact, so it stays out of the score.

3

Needs context

40% is the average. The same table shows 9% for the lowest-income quartile.

The version you read is rarely the first one.

Tracera walks a story back through the reposts and rewrites to the earliest observed source within the searched scope, and says so plainly when the trail runs cold.

Later observation

Related copy

Syndicated or related material is context, not independent evidence.

Acquired observation

Publisher record

A live report shows exact timestamps and source snapshots when they are available.

Scope boundary

Candidate rootEarliest observed in scope

Earlier material may exist outside the searched scope.

One number, kept in pieces.

A score appears only when selected claims are resolved with valid evidence. Source context, framing, origin, and timing stay on the page as separate signals.

This sample has no scored report. Unknown and unavailable results stay explicit; the factual score is not a ruling on whether a story is true.

  • Factual scoreNot available

    Requires resolved selected claims and valid evidence.

  • Source reputationContext only

    No reputation record is supplied by this sample.

  • Framing and languageSeparate

    Presentation observations do not change factual truth.

  • Origin and timelineObserved scope

    Unknown history and timestamps stay unresolved.

Bring something you’re not sure about.

Tracera is automated, and it can be wrong. Every claim it marks shows the sources behind it, so you can check the check.
