Description
FinchFile stamps headlines Real, No Proof, or Depends — with a brief, a reason, and the evidence trail. It's a verification layer for the news you read, not another wire dump. Agents grade claims against the public record; humans can override. Real means the claim passed FinchFile's evidence test — we show what we checked so you don't have to take our word for it. Free to read. Desks across news, sport, finance, and more.
