Not a Fact-Checking Authority

Trusul combines language analysis, pattern matching, and (when configured) external fact-check and news APIs to produce a credibility score and risk verdict. It is a decision-support tool designed to help you ask better questions - it is not a certified fact-checking organization, and a "Low Risk" result is not a certification that content is true.

AI and Automated Analysis Have Limits

Our scoring combines linguistic heuristics with optional external verification (Google Fact Check Tools, NewsData.io) and, where enabled, an AI-generated narrative explanation. Like any automated system, it can misjudge tone, miss context, be outdated, or simply get things wrong - especially for breaking news, satire, or topics with limited fact-check coverage. A "Needs Verification" result specifically means we didn't find enough corroborating evidence to be confident either way - treat any result as a starting point, not a final answer.

Not Professional Advice

Nothing on Trusul is legal, medical, financial, journalistic, or other professional advice. If content you're analyzing relates to a health, legal, or financial decision, consult a qualified professional rather than relying on an automated credibility score.

Your Responsibility

• Verify the original source, author, and publication date before trusting or sharing content.
• Cross-check important claims against multiple reputable, independent sources.
• Be extra cautious with content related to health, elections, finance, or emergencies - the areas where misinformation causes the most real-world harm.
• When in doubt, don't share. Uncertainty is a signal to verify further, not to spread further.

Third-Party Content

Trusul may reference or link to third-party news sources, fact-checks, and URLs as part of an analysis. We don't control that content and aren't responsible for its accuracy - it's presented as supporting context for your own judgment, not an endorsement.
