Short answer

How do I stop my AI from giving fringe theories equal weight?

The AI compares the claims in your text against established scientific or factual consensus to see if the report is giving undue airtime to unproven ideas. You get a breakdown of where the reasoning fails to respect the weight of evidence. This process highlights specific instances of false balance.

Where every issue lands.

Outcomes of the analysis

The AI sorts its findings into these categories based on the strength of the evidence.

CONSENSUS

Verified facts

The AI identifies claims that align with established scientific or historical consensus. You see which parts of your report are on solid ground.

FRINGE

Unsubstantiated claims

The AI flags theories that lack empirical support. This shows you exactly where a report is drifting into speculation.

BALANCE

False equivalence

The AI catches instances where a fringe view is presented as being just as valid as a consensus view. This is your primary warning sign.

HUMAN

Editorial judgment

The AI highlights areas where the weight of evidence is too thin for a machine to decide. You decide how to handle these nuances.

The workflow

What your AI does when the report arrives.

The AI runs a logical audit on your text to find structural flaws in how evidence is presented.

  1. Evidence mapping

    The AI extracts every core claim and the evidence provided for it.

  2. Consensus check

    The agent compares those claims against known scientific and factual standards.

  3. Weighting analysis

    The AI looks for 'both-sidesism' where a minor theory gets the same space as a proven fact.
