Submit text for examination
0 / 6000 characters · Scores the manipulation techniques in the text. Not a verdict on whether it is true.
You've been lied to before, and you paid for the privilege. This instrument doesn't tell you what's true. It shows you the technique: the loaded words, the manufactured urgency, the borrowed authority. Official doesn't mean true. Viral doesn't mean false. Read the technique, not the tribe.

Field notes
What is a psyop?
A psychological operation: a coordinated, deliberate effort to manipulate how an audience thinks or feels, usually while hiding who is behind it. Different from ordinary bias or clickbait, which need no coordination at all.
How does the instrument score text?
It reads your text for a fixed list of recognized persuasion techniques, loaded language, appeal to fear, manufactured urgency, appeal to authority, and more. Each technique found adds points by strength. The 0 to 100 total measures the density of technique, never the truth of the claim.
Does a high score mean it's false?
No. True stories can be written manipulatively and false ones plainly. The needle reads the rhetoric, not the reality. Every result includes a counter-case: the fair reason the text might just be ordinary writing.
Why did my headline score zero?
A headline alone is usually too short to carry much technique. The manipulation lives in the body text: the framing, the sourcing, the loaded descriptions. Paste the full article, headline plus body, for an accurate reading.
What techniques does it look for?
Thirteen recognized persuasion techniques, each with its own field guide entry. Start with name calling, loaded language, or manufactured urgency, or click any technique in the ticker above.

AI disclosure
Every score and analysis on this site is generated automatically by an artificial intelligence language model. No human reviews individual results before they appear. AI systems make mistakes, misread context, and can miss or overstate techniques. Treat every result as a starting point for your own judgment, not a conclusion.
What the score means, and what it does not
The number measures the density and strength of recognized persuasion techniques present in the text you submit. It is not a statement that any article, outlet, author, or person is lying, coordinating, or running an influence operation. High scores appear in ordinary opinion writing, advocacy, advertising, and sincere reporting. The presence of persuasion techniques does not make a claim false, and their absence does not make a claim true.
