Fact-Checking vs Information Quality
Information quality and fact-checking are related but different activities. Fact-checking attempts to assess specific claims against evidence. Supience instead examines observable characteristics of supplied text that can indicate what deserves further verification.
Information-quality signals
Supience looks at evidence clues, specificity, uncertainty and verifiability. These signals can help a reader decide where to investigate next.
Independent fact-checking
A fact-check requires examining the claim against appropriate evidence and considering the source, context, date, methodology and scope. That work may require subject-matter expertise.
Why the distinction matters
A detailed paragraph with citations can still contain an unsupported conclusion. Conversely, a short statement can be accurate even if it contains few observable signals. That is why Supience does not present its indicator as a probability of truth.
