Counts from our published checks, not a score. Generated from the checked collection and archive; corrections are public on every story.
Every ruling links to its sources. Source links and corrections stay public whether or not you pay.
When we get something wrong, the correction is dated and kept on the story. See the verification record.
Rulings are categories with written definitions, not scores. Read how we check.
The latest edition has two designated public sample stories. Signing in with a free account opens its third designated story. These are selected stories, not a counter of whichever pages you open. Membership opens all full checked stories. Verdicts, summaries, source links and corrections remain public.
Your first membership has one 30-day introductory trial. Your card is charged A$89 when it ends, then once a year until you cancel. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. Manage your subscription from your account. A trial begins when you complete checkout, not when you sign in.
Yes. There is one introductory trial per customer. A returning member sees a separate restart button in their account, with A$89 due when checkout is completed and annual renewal afterwards. Following a trial link alone never starts a paid restart.
No. It counts our published rulings, the spin mechanisms we named and the calls we made. It never rates a company or a claim on a number scale.
No. Membership includes every available member feature. There is no separate workflow, research or learning subscription.
The latest published concept lesson is free, as are our guides to spotting AI hype. When a new lesson publishes, its predecessor joins the member archive. Narrated lessons are in development.
Short concept reels, guided learning paths, progress across devices and mobile apps are planned. They join the same membership when released.
