FOR JOURNALISTS
No Fact-Checking Desk. No Problem.
You don't have a newsroom fact-checking team. But you still need the rigor. TrueStandard checks every claim in your story with four independent AI models before you file.
March 2026: Ars Technica reporter fired for publishing AI-hallucinated quotes. — Hacker News, 800+ comments
The Freelance Journalist's AI Problem
47% of ChatGPT-generated citations are inaccurate or fabricated
AI invents quotes, cites papers that don't exist, and attributes findings to real institutions that never published them.
Reporter fired. $5,000 court fines. Public embarrassment.
The Ars Technica firing. The lawyer sanctions. You publish under your name. One fabricated quote is all it takes.
No fact-checker, no editor, no research assistant
You're one person with a deadline. Manual verification takes 30-60 minutes per piece. AI was supposed to make you faster.
See What TrueStandard Catches Before You File
A health newsletter draft with wrong claims. The same patterns appear in journalism.
New research confirms intermittent fasting reduces inflammation by 70% and can extend lifespan by up to 20 years. A Harvard study found that just 16 hours of fasting triggers autophagy, which researchers call 'the body's built-in repair system'...
Published studies show 28-30% reduction in CRP markers specifically, not 'inflammation' broadly. The 70% figure appears nowhere in peer-reviewed literature.
No human study supports this claim. Mouse studies show 10-15% lifespan extension. Extrapolating to '20 years' in humans is unsupported.
Multiple Harvard-affiliated studies on fasting exist with varying conclusions. No specific paper, authors, or year cited.
Without TrueStandard, the journalist publishes a sourced claim that doesn't check out. An expert reader catches it, tweets it, and the correction goes viral.
How TrueStandard Replaces a Fact-Checking Desk
Every claim checked against evidence
Paste your story. Four AI models independently verify every statistic, quote, and sourced claim. You see where they agree and where they split.
Are your sources real?
TrueStandard flags citations that don't exist, sources that don't say what you claim, and quotes that look fabricated.
What you missed
Four models find gaps a single read wouldn't catch — missing context, unconsidered angles, claims that will age badly.
File on deadline, not after it
Manual fact-checking: 30-60 minutes. TrueStandard: 60 seconds. Same rigor, fraction of the time.
File Stories with the Rigor of a Larger Newsroom
Four AI models. 60 seconds. Every claim, every citation, every quote — checked before it goes out under your byline.
