Hold claims to the same standard as the decisions they shape.
SyncLogic audits political claims—speeches, press releases, debates and policy promises—so citizens, journalists and oversight bodies can separate evidence from rhetoric and trust what's worth relying on.
Transform any political claim into an audited, evidence-based assessment with a clear level of reliance and a permission-to-rely verdict.
Captures the exact claim and full context
Finds, evaluates and registers the right evidence
Tests alternatives, assumptions and causal pathways
Finds the weakest link that limits reliability
Assigns a Reliance Class (RC 0–7) and states what is justified
Issues a Permission-to-Rely verdict for public decision making
The same disciplined method, applied to this claim type: define, decompose, register evidence, test admissibility, explore alternatives, find the weakest link, assign reliance, and issue a verdict.
Record the exact words, where, when, audience, purpose, and any supporting statements.
What exactly is being claimed?Break the claim into testable sub-claims: facts, figures, causes, commitments, timelines, outcomes.
What must be true for this claim to be accurate?Find and register all relevant sources: data, reports, official records, expert analysis, prior statements, parliamentary records.
What evidence exists—and what doesn't?Evaluate each source for relevance, authority, timeliness, transparency, methodology, independence and jurisdiction.
Is this source fit for purpose in a political claim?Identify key assumptions, models, baselines and methods. Assess for bias, cherry-picking and omission.
What assumptions and methods drive this claim?List credible alternative explanations, competing policies and trade-offs. Test whether they were addressed fairly.
What alternatives were tested—or ignored?Assess real-world impacts: economic, social, environmental, equity, legal and long-term effects.
What are the likely consequences of this claim?Locate the sub-claim, assumption or data point with the least support or highest uncertainty.
Where could this claim break first?Rate overall reliability based on evidence strength, uncertainty, dependency depth and sensitivity.
How much reliance is justified?State what is safe to rely on, for what, and at what level (explore, inform, decide, act, commit). Create a public audit record.
What is safe to rely on, for what, and at what level?Political incentives reward optimism and certainty more than accuracy.
Soundbites and slogans can replace evidence and nuance.
Evidence is often chosen to support the story while ignoring what doesn't.
Different audiences hear different versions of the same claim.
Stats can be used without baselines, definitions or timeframes.
Costs, risks and who pays are often left out of the message.
Limits and unknowns are rarely communicated clearly.
Long-term impacts and second-order effects can be neglected.
Voters lack a clear, consistent way to test and compare claims.
SyncLogic turns any political claim into a clear, audited assessment the public can understand. We show what is supported, what is not, and what level of reliance is justified. Better audits. Better accountability. Better decisions. Stronger democracy.
