Source & Story Verification
Validate claims and narratives against multiple real-time data sources. Intrace helps journalists confirm who they're dealing with and whether a story holds up—before it goes to print.
Problem
In a fast-moving information environment, verifying a source's identity, checking a claim, and authenticating media under deadline is hard, and the cost of getting it wrong is high. Manual checks across scattered sources are slow, and manipulated or recycled content is difficult to spot without supporting context.
Solution
Intrace builds a verifiable profile of a source from records and online presence, surfaces adverse indicators, and lets reporters cross-check claims against multiple sources in real time. Social Vault preserves the content behind a story with metadata intact, supporting authentication and a defensible record of what was reviewed.
