Editorial

Newsroom standards at the speed of the feed.

Match claims against what your desk has already checked, watch a broadcast or feed as it runs, and route only the handful that need a person. The quarter million pieces a day that do not stay off the desk.

streaming verification against checks you have already published.

~250k

items a day move faster than any desk can read by hand.

The story that needs a correction is buried in the volume that does not. The job is to find the one without reading all of them.

Triage the feed, not every item in it.

Incoming claims are matched against your published checks and the record. The confident ones pass; the contested ones are routed to the desk with their evidence attached.

On the desk

It sits next to the workflow, not on top of it.

Wire copy, transcripts, and social posts stream in. Merlise tags each claim and surfaces the ones a person should see, with the source already pulled.

Match the claim

Each statement is checked against what the desk has already verified.

Watch the stream

Broadcasts and feeds are read as they run, not after.

Route the few

Only contested claims reach a person, with the evidence attached.

Read it claim by claim.

Every statement gets a calibrated reading, a verdict, and the record behind it. The ones that need a person rise to the top.
