Daily product release

Explore, check and share video evidence

Video reports add a support score that follows completed outside checks, with checked-claim coverage and more careful source context. Revocable read-only links and a fictional demo use familiar report views. Video claims open in a focused check window with visible review priorities; complete statements retain their conditions. Article and video claims share search controls, while cleaner homepage illustrations and About introduce both workspaces together. A guided Video Analyzer and playback-following Reader accompany separate capture observations, adaptive visual sampling and clearer public guidance. Simpler entry and processing, qualification-aware comparisons, distinct speaker handling and clear ten-minute checks preserve context and explain limits. Original captured-evidence scores and article calculations keep their meaning.

New

See how outside evidence supports checked claims

Video reports show the share of conclusively checked claim groups supported by captured outside passages. The score updates as checks finish, alongside the number checked. Mixed, unresolved and unchecked claims remain visible; original Source Trails keep their meaning.

Fixed

Keep the source context behind a finding

Video research preserves relevant earlier context when selecting source passages. Negated, hypothetical and merely attributed observations receive more careful treatment. Earlier checks stay available and show when they need rechecking.

Improved

Return to current research findings

Saved video reports refresh outside checks when users return to the page. Exports and shared reports retain the support score and its saved research references; shared links remain frozen.

Improved

Check video claims in a focused window

Summary, Claims and Evidence Atlas open the same evidence-check window. Priority numbers help users choose what to inspect, while surrounding context remains accessible in Reader.

Fixed

Keep complete claims together

Clearly attached conditions and qualifications stay with their assertion across transcript breaks. Clear preferences and recommendations are kept out of outside-evidence searches, while independent assertions remain separate.

Improved

See a cleaner video illustration

The homepage video illustration now uses straight paper edges and lighter ivory colors to match the surrounding artwork.

New

Share a video report

Create a read-only link to captured words, findings and saved evidence checks. Private footage and frame images stay private. Stop sharing whenever you choose; links also end when the saved video expires or is deleted.

Improved

Explore the real report in the video demo

The fictional video example now uses the same Summary, Claims, Dimensions, Full report, Reader and Evidence Atlas as saved video analyses. Its illustrated timeline stays clearly identified as an example.

Improved

Find claims with familiar controls

Article and video reports share a claim-search pattern with a clear result count and an easy reset. Supporting video details stay together so the main findings remain easier to scan.

Improved

See articles and videos side by side

The homepage introduces video analysis after Article with a matching illustration. About presents both under How It Works, Video has its own navigation icon, and Methodology uses simple dimension rows with comfortable expandable explanations. The Profile plan view is quieter.

New

Try video analysis with a guided example

A first-use guide explains the Video Analyzer, and a clearly fictional video demo lets users explore claims, dimensions and timestamped words without uploading a video.

Improved

Follow playback while reading

The transcript follows the current passage inside Reader. Scrolling pauses following so users can read elsewhere and return to playback when ready. Saved reports, upload recovery and processing use calmer layouts; elapsed time updates every second.

New

Inspect how much was captured

A separate extraction-quality view shows recorded speech coverage, processed frames, sampling gaps and timing details. Missing measurements stay visible; these observations are separate from evidence scores and do not claim that every word was recognized correctly.

Improved

Adapt visual reading to the clip

Visual sampling considers video length and changes in the image. Quieter clips can need fewer text-reading passes, while changing scenes and brief overlays can receive more attention within the processing limit. Unsampled moments remain a limitation.

Improved

Find clear video guidance across Veritas Shield

Plans, FAQs, About, Why Veritas Shield, account descriptions and social previews now include video analysis. Methodology presents video dimensions and research in shorter expandable sections, keeping weights and limitations available.

Improved

Start with a simpler video form

Video Analyzer keeps link entry in focus, with optional subtitles and audio choices tucked into the input bar. Processing shows its current work and explains AI assistance while your saved input stays available.

Fixed

Keep meaningful differences between claims

Comparisons preserve qualifications instead of treating differently qualified statements as equivalent. Unclear references remain open for inspection, and an unnamed source cannot gain credit merely by mentioning a dated report. More complete ordinary statements remain available as claims.

Fixed

Recover speech behind incomplete captions

Non-dialogue caption labels no longer stand in for captured speech. Explicit speaker labels keep overlapping voices separate, and interrupted processing keeps its checks active while waiting for speech detection.

Improved

Understand when a video is too long

Videos longer than ten minutes receive a clear explanation of the current limit. When the length is already available, the check happens before unnecessary transfer or processing.

Daily product release

Read video evidence with clearer context and more dependable recovery

Video reports connect findings to captured words through a focused transcript Reader, familiar layout, balanced controls and calmer supporting details. New checks preserve more complete claims, local reference context and the basis of outside sources. Caption, audio selection and interrupted-processing fixes improve recovery; older evidence attempts and deletion cleanup remain traceable. Every saved numbered check explains its findings or limits, while temporal wording and a separate weighted view expose relationships worth inspecting. Processing details show where recorded time went. AI can inspect names against on-screen text while preserving original speech, and completed reviews can resume into a report without repeating recognition. Research keeps interpreted wording separate. Earlier spoken context helps users inspect unclear references without treating a guessed identity as fact. Methodology, privacy explanations and article version labels are clearer; article calculations remain unchanged.

New

Open video transcript in Reader

Read captured speech beside the video in a focused popup, search the words, inspect on-screen text and return to the report without losing your playback position. The entry and report controls follow the article workspace.

Improved

Inspect more complete video claims

More ordinary statements can become timestamped claims. Clear local references can retain their named context, while competing subjects and incomplete wording remain visible for review. Related spoken and displayed claims preserve changes in amounts, negation and scope.

Fixed

Read source mentions consistently

Equivalent source mentions no longer change simply because captions use uppercase or lowercase. Original wording and its location remain available.

Improved

Understand why a source is relevant

New video evidence checks retain the source basis and links to captured material they rely on. Attributed assertions and unread references remain context; repeated material does not establish independent confirmation. Earlier research keeps its original review and can be opened through older saved attempts.

Fixed

Recover processing more reliably

Sparse captions are checked against detected speech before recognition is skipped, and audio selection considers the original track before quality settings. Completed speech intervals can survive an interrupted run. Processing reports distinguish a waiting processor from an offline one and retain more detailed timings.

Fixed

Keep deleted video uploads in cleanup

Renewed private upload access is tracked so a late transfer cannot escape the cleanup record after a video is deleted. Failed cleanup stays queued for another attempt.

Fixed

Continue from a saved video review

Fixed an error that stopped video analysis after a successful spelling review. Retrying affected saved videos reuses their captured content and completed review without repeating transcription or the same AI request.

Improved

Inspect earlier context behind a claim

Claims using words such as he, it or they can carry earlier captured speech into research and show that context beside their original moment. Uncertain identities remain unresolved, and nearby names do not count as supporting evidence.

Fixed

Keep different subjects and complete claims apart

Repeated words about an uncertain subject no longer automatically become one claim. More complete spoken statements survive caption breaks, while incomplete visual fragments stay available for inspection without becoming standalone claims.

Improved

Review names shown in short captions

Spelling review can consider a name repeated in clear on-screen text with matching nearby wording, even when the screen does not show a full sentence. Original speech remains available, conflicting spellings stay unresolved, and a suggestion cannot change the evidence score.

Improved

See every numbered video check

Opening a dimension shows all its saved numbered checks, including those without findings. Nothing detected, incomplete capture and an unavailable comparison are explained separately. Older reports retain their recorded method.

New

Inspect changed temporal wording

When corresponding spoken and displayed clauses change how events are ordered, the report can retain that difference with both passages and their moments. This is a context check, not a judgment about what really happened, and it adds no score credit.

Improved

Understand the research behind video analysis

Methodology explains how words, timing and on-screen text contribute to findings, where visual understanding ends, and why speaking style cannot determine truth. Research results are distinguished from measured performance of Veritas.

Improved

See where processing time went

Video details can show saved time spent recognizing speech, reading frames and saving visual evidence. Transfer and AI review remain separate, and missing measurements are not presented as zero.

Improved

See the words behind a finding

Video findings lead with the captured speech or on-screen wording and its moment, so repeated explanations no longer hide which claim needs attention.

Improved

Understand each evidence check and its weight

Numbered checks explain source trails, attribution, claim scope and qualifications. A separate weighted view shows which checks were possible, how missing observations limit the result and how changing weights affects it. These are published assessment choices, not a probability that a video is true.

Fixed

Use more balanced video controls

Link entry and upload actions align correctly. Reports group supporting details together, and the Source trails explanation is available beside its title by mouse, keyboard or touch.

Improved

Keep AI assistance separate from the score

New text assistance uses an updated model for captured context and source-grounded research. Published rules calculate evidence findings and scores; AI cannot choose the weights or rewrite those rules. Methodology explains the boundary for articles and videos.

Fixed

Keep article versions consistent

Article version labels use EIEa throughout the release history, retaining the original version numbers. The current article method remains 5.14.2; the earlier 2.0.0 display reset has been corrected without changing saved calculations.

New

Inspect a name against text shown on screen

New video analyses use AI to review possible spelling and name corrections against nearby captured text. You can compare an accepted reading with the original speech and frame, or restore the original wording. Uncertain matches stay unchanged.

Improved

Keep research attached to the wording it checked

Evidence for an interpreted name is shown separately from evidence for the original words. Atlas and exports retain that distinction, so a spelling suggestion cannot turn into proof of what someone said.

Improved

Understand what the video assessment can measure

The Evidence Intelligence Engine for video recognizes more identifiable source records and coherent spoken claims. Usable claims can show reference coverage even when another part of the capture is incomplete. Missing references can produce zero coverage; unavailable comparisons remain clearly marked.

Improved

Read a calmer, more familiar video report

Video follows Article in tool navigation. The entry page uses the familiar analysis layout, score explanations have room to breathe, and Dimensions and Full report use the full reading width. Long lists stay in comfortable scrollable areas without overwhelming the report. Headings, controls and reading text use the shared product fonts.

Improved

See extraction while interpretation continues

Captured speech and frames can appear before the final report is ready. AI interpretation has its own progress and recovery state, and retrying that step can reuse the saved extraction.

Improved

Know how video AI uses your content

AI-assisted text interpretation is included in new video analyses and cannot be switched off for those runs. Sending audio for cloud transcription remains a separate choice. Saved analyses keep their earlier choices until you explicitly start a new analysis; Privacy and Terms explain these differences.

Improved

Recognize the article and video engines

Methodology uses Evidence Intelligence Engine for article and Evidence Intelligence Engine for video. EIEa continues the article analysis version history at 5.14.2, preserving its existing calculations and older report records.

Fixed

Create a new account successfully

Fixed an account-creation error while keeping profile details private and preserving the existing free trial.

Daily product release

A clearer picture of evidence in articles and videos

Video analysis joins article analysis in the homepage and methodology. Reports connect complete spoken claims, sampled frames and sources; the latest assessment shows claim reference coverage with separate evidence dimensions. A familiar report layout, observed processing progress, adjustable AI assistance and improved permitted downloads make the workflow easier to follow. Earlier assessments and extraction limits remain visible.

Fixed

Understand exactly what the video number measures

New reports show the share of distinct checkable claims linked to a source record. Evidence dimensions explain separate relationships without stacking points. A missing original comparison stays unassessed, and earlier reports retain their original assessment. A reference still does not prove a claim.

Improved

Follow a video from processing to evidence

Processing shows the current step and measured progress when available. Completed reports use the familiar article layout, with the selected claim’s evidence beside it, simpler dimensions and a separate Atlas workspace. History stays in the account menu.

Improved

Choose AI assistance for future video research

AI evidence assistance starts on for new analyses and can be turned off before submission or changed later. Saved opt-outs remain in place. Existing checks are unchanged, and sending audio for managed transcription stays a separate choice.

Fixed

Recover more permitted video downloads

Veritas can try compatible public formats when a media track is unavailable and recognizes alternative files for one embedded video. Incomplete transfers cannot pass as complete videos. Links that require restricted access may still need a permitted upload.

New

Inspect the evidence practices behind a video score

New reports introduce the Evidence Intelligence Engine for video, a provisional assessment of visible evidence practices. Each dimension connects to captured speech or text shown on screen. The score describes those practices, not whether a video is true or authentic; incomplete extraction can withhold the overall score.

Improved

Read spoken claims with their full meaning

Transcript sentences retain qualifications, negation and quotation context across caption lines. Uncertain sentence boundaries stay visible, and claim links return to the retained words and their timestamps.

Improved

Follow relationships without counting repetition as proof

Repeated versions of a claim keep their separate appearances without accumulating score credit. Spoken and displayed wording can be inspected together, while a quotation or repeated source remains distinct from independent supporting evidence.

Improved

See what is taking time

Video length, transfer time and recorded processing time are shown separately. Speech recognition can report progress while outside evidence research continues independently; clip length is not presented as a promised waiting time.

Fixed

Keep your place while inspecting evidence

Moving from video Dimensions to an Atlas passage opens the relevant claim evidence. Keyboard focus follows these view changes, and video history remains on the shared History page.

New

Explore article and video analysis together

The homepage’s familiar opening brings the article and video instruments together without adding another section. Methodology explains the Evidence Intelligence Engine for article and the Evidence Intelligence Engine for video, with research references, assessment limits and shorter introductions to the other tools. Existing article scores are unchanged.

Daily product release

Follow video claims to their evidence

Video Intelligence connects spoken and displayed claims with timestamps, outside sources and Evidence Atlas. Users can inspect nearby speech, frames and extraction limits, return to private saved videos and control separate transcription and evidence assistance choices. Atlas controls and claim selection are clearer on phones.

Fixed

Choose Atlas views more comfortably

Guided and Expert controls have room for their labels on phones. Claim pickers stay within the screen, with complete claim wording available in the selected evidence path.

New

Inspect claims at the moment they appear

Users with access can submit a supported public video link or permitted upload and inspect timestamped speech, sampled visual text and extraction limits. Nearby speech and frames help users inspect the context around each claim, with explicit follow-up qualifications kept alongside the assertion.

New

Research video claims in Evidence Atlas

Video claims connect to the same source research and evidence workspace as other Veritas research. Saved checks explain support, contradiction and unresolved evidence without an overall real-or-fake score.

New

Return to private video research

Users can revisit saved videos for 30 days, follow processing stages, cancel or retry work and delete saved videos. Sending audio for managed transcription is a separate choice from AI assistance with evidence.

Daily product release

More dependable analysis and a clearer research workspace

Work with complete article captures, open Reader evidence more easily, and return to focused PDF and social-post reports. Watchlists find more matching reporting and recover from interrupted searches. Briefing, public pages, account notices and plan choices are clearer, with daily changelog overviews reflecting the whole day.

Improved

Keep briefing controls and dates together

Watchlist capture options now sit beside watchlist settings and refresh. Story counts and build times sit within the headings, and the impact briefing uses a shorter Built label without the repeated overdue-refresh sentence.

Improved

Less text above your watchlist

Saved briefs now open with their title, story count and update time, without the long repeated summary above the stories. Individual article details and search failure messages remain available.

Fixed

Keep searching when a service is unavailable

Watchlists can use an available alternative search service when public news discovery is interrupted. The same selected newsrooms, topics, regions and time window still apply.

Fixed

Wait before retrying a busy search

Saved refreshes wait longer when a news search service is busy and show when they will retry. A failed search stays separate from no matches, and an earlier failed refresh no longer overrides a newer completed brief.

Fixed

Recognize country names and initials

Watchlists now recognize wording such as United States, US and U.S. consistently, while keeping the selected topics and regions.

Improved

Look further when a watchlist is quiet

Sparse results trigger a limited additional search across the selected newsrooms. After an empty brief, you can search the past seven days without changing the watchlist’s delivery schedule.

Improved

Understand an empty search

Empty briefs explain the coverage checked and offer a clear next step. Search failures remain separate from no matches, and capture controls appear only when there are articles to capture.

Improved

A more readable methodology

The Methodology page now shares the other public pages’ introduction, with shorter reading sections, clearer score weights and an easier-to-browse source library.

Improved

A tidier briefing toolbar

All topic choices remain available in a compact selection panel. Refresh actions and edition information now use consistent sizing and spacing.

Fixed

Consistent saved-research navigation

Saved PDF and social-post reports now place their History link in the top header beside appearance and account controls, using the same control as saved article and comparison reports.

Fixed

The familiar comparison icon

The demo’s Compare two control now uses the same icon as the Article Analyzer.

Improved

Less repeated explanation

Why Veritas Shield keeps its comparison table and source links with fewer repeated descriptions. The social-post form also has less helper text, and the site navigation’s copyright line follows the current year.

Fixed

Changelog overviews cover the whole day

Each date now has an overview of its overall changes, with version labels covering all the products updated that day. Earlier changes remain available; hover or tap a version tag to see that product’s earlier versions from the same day.

Improved

Understand the method step by step

The redesigned Methodology page starts with the essentials, then explains the score, evidence connections, limits and research. Every reference link remains available.

Improved

Start with the stories

Briefing keeps topic filters and extra controls tucked away until needed. New editions draw from selected international newsrooms, and reported effects recognize more ways articles describe affected people, services and policy changes.

Improved

Open saved research directly

PDF and social History use the same dated library style as article reports. Open saved passages, claim outcomes and evidence first, then continue research when needed.

Fixed

Follow the actual analysis stage

The article progress display advances when work completes instead of guessing from elapsed time.

Improved

Use available Deep Scan automatically

With an approved, connected extension and the required permissions, Deep Scan is selected for applicable web work. A saved off choice stays off; users can change it in the Analyzer or Social post checker.

Improved

Explore more comfortably on a phone

Landing galleries have a simpler swipe hint and pricing guidance has balanced lines. The demo groups one-article and comparison examples together, with its full fictional-content notice below the examples.

Fixed

Remove blank loading pictures

Reader skips loading placeholders that some articles included as pictures, including in saved reports. Real photos, their captions and alternative image sources remain available.

Fixed

Select Evidence on the first click

The Evidence tab responds immediately while highlights prepare. Clicking it again during preparation keeps your selection in place.

Fixed

Show the score when the full article is present

Some complete articles incorrectly showed “Score withheld” because another reading of the page returned only a matching section. A new analysis now recognizes that match and keeps the complete article available in Reader. Incomplete or conflicting captures still withhold the score.

Improved

Give the dial more space

The complete Score dial is smaller and sits slightly higher, with more space around its rim.

New

Remove a rejected payment request

Ignore asks you to confirm permanent deletion from your account and Veritas’s request history. You can cancel, and a failed deletion leaves the notice in place.

Improved

See your current access clearly

Your remaining access sits beside the plan heading. Old approved-payment notices are hidden, and pending requests remain visible until reviewed.

Improved

Plan details stay together

Plan descriptions sit beneath their names, and wrapped text has more balanced lines. Included tools share a section, with Zelle guidance under Paying with Zelle.

Improved

Follow clearer research illustrations

The Map illustration connects layered claim and source cards without a large backing board. The Score dial is centered vertically, with the lower paper label removed.

Fixed

Keep current prices after a refresh

An account refresh keeps the prices just loaded in the plan dialog.

Fixed

Apply promotion codes comfortably

The Apply button keeps its label on one line and matches the code field’s height on phones and larger screens.

Improved

Start with what you want to check

The optional getting-started guide now offers article, PDF and social-post paths, each with its own steps and fictional example.

Improved

Follow the current workspace guides

Article, Briefing, PDF and Social Post tutorials now explain current controls, saved attempts and evidence limits. Guides skip unavailable controls and leave your work in place.

Improved

Know what your plan includes

Every access period shows the same included tools, its total prepaid price and the kind of project it suits. The trial and manual payment steps are explained before you choose.

New

Check your payment request

See your latest request and its review status in your account or the plan dialog. A pending request reminds you not to pay again, and approval stays separate from your current access dates.

Fixed

Keep payment details up to date

The plan dialog checks current prices and payment status before showing payment instructions. Promotion errors can be retried, and an earlier code check cannot replace your newer choice.

Improved

See your selected view more clearly

Selected tabs show a single icon that enters from the direction you move. Other choices keep their text labels, with the same treatment across workspaces, reports, evidence maps and Reader.

New

Find PDFs and social checks in History

Your saved documents, claim checks, and earlier attempts now sit beside reports and comparisons. All sections arrive with the page, and switching sections keeps your loaded items and search. Open History from your avatar menu. Each item shows its remaining time within the original 30-day window, and the guide explains the new sections.

New

Read the impact briefing without signing in

Everyone can browse the shared edition and filter by topic. Personal watchlists and Deep Scan remain available to users with account access.

Improved

Keep watchlists closer to your question

Search words, quoted phrases, topics and regions are checked against the captured headline and opening. When the article cannot be captured, a headline match is clearly marked as limited.

Fixed

Keep article quality separate from impact

A strong evidence score alone no longer gives an article an impact rank. Reading order reflects reported effects in a limited news sample, without treating the score as a publisher endorsement.

Improved

Explore the homepage with less scrolling on a phone

Swipe through all four workspaces and all three illustrated scoring steps. Desktop sections enter with gentle upward motion, and the three models turn toward the mouse.

Fixed

Read comparison labels comfortably

Long claim relationship labels wrap within their own space. Phone navigation shows every workspace, and the detailed evidence map gives its claim menu more room.

Improved

Recognize account links in the extension

Password help and account creation links share the same appearance and clear keyboard focus.

Daily product release

Clearer evidence behind each claim

See the difference between what an article quotes, what it cites, and what has been checked.

Fixed

Quotations no longer look like proof

Quoted statements are labelled Attribution only, and mentioned records remain Document cited until their contents are checked. A named speaker alone does not verify a claim.

Improved

More careful passage connections

Claims are less likely to borrow reporting from an unrelated nearby statement or a quotation repeated elsewhere. Repeated views of one quotation stay together.

Improved

Evidence quality reflects the passages you can inspect

Quality no longer combines the strongest features of unrelated passages or treats different source names as proof of independent corroboration. Reader explains how many claims have reporting attached.

Fixed

Keep older reports in context

Earlier automatic support labels are shown more cautiously. Saved scores and your reviewed judgments stay intact, with guidance to analyze the article again for a current assessment.

Daily product release

More faithful evidence and dependable research recovery

See claims with their qualifications, follow sources more accurately, and keep PDF passages and saved research available through interruptions. Account details stay private, and Deep Scan choices and connection guidance are clearer.

Fixed

Recover from missed extension replies

Briefing, social and claim-source captures briefly retry a missed connection and recognize a reloaded extension without starting the same capture twice.

Improved

See the setup this website needs

Connection help explains which extension setup works on the current website. A missing reply no longer claims that the extension needs installing.

Fixed

Use your chosen extension throughout research

Deep Scan follows the extension chosen in Article Analyzer across this site. Open tabs and setup guidance stay in sync when the choice changes, while a capture already in progress finishes with its original extension.

Fixed

Keep account profiles private

Your account profile is no longer visible to people browsing without signing in or to other accounts. You can still view and update your own profile.

Fixed

Recognize related reporting that needs a refresh

Saved matches from a different search method stay available with a refresh notice. Their old relationship labels stay marked as saved results until a new search succeeds.

Improved

Start with claims prioritized for review

Guided Atlas now calls its opening shortlist Review first. It keeps the same claim order and points to Dimensions for the score breakdown.

Fixed

Keep statements with their qualifications

Claims better preserve numbers, initials, times, quoted speakers and phrases that limit an assertion. Repeated names for the same clearly identified source stay connected.

Fixed

Connect quotations to the right statements

A quotation no longer attaches to another statement just because both mention the same person or topic. Atlas explains when a passage comes from the analyzed article and offers its linked source for further inspection.

Fixed

Keep transcript speakers identifiable

Short speaker labels stay with the captured conversation. Clearly introduced names connect across repeated turns, while unnamed speakers remain unnamed and capital letters alone do not make someone an organization.

Fixed

Keep the active article and its contributors together

Hidden alternative text stays out of the active article and its captions. More clearly credited section reporters are retained, and lead pictures stay ahead of introductory lists.

Fixed

Recover a social check after an interrupted reply

If Deep Scan saves a post before its reply is interrupted, the page can reopen that saved check. Selected statements keep their qualifications while separate trailing links stay in the original post.

Improved

Recognize more disclosed response handling

When an article says it contacted a source and was directed to a record, that exchange can appear as response handling. It does not establish that the record is correct.

Fixed

Land on the requested Reader passage

Opening an exact passage from Atlas jumps directly to it, and Next continues from that passage. Picture captions remain readable while images load.

Fixed

Keep cited documents accurately labeled

A linked article or study no longer becomes an official record just because it is cited. Its original link remains available for inspection.

Fixed

Keep speakers and cited reports connected

Country prefixes and longer affiliations no longer confuse clearly named speakers. Explicit company descriptions and reports from named institutions stay connected to their statements.

Fixed

Read comparison labels clearly on phones

Comparison totals fit the screen, and a claim present in one article no longer carries a missing-claim label beside that same article.

Improved

Keep article text separate from surrounding cards

More author biographies, previous-story previews and older media summaries stay outside the article’s scored prose. Picture captions follow their matching images, including different sizes of the same picture.

Fixed

Review PDF notes with clearer limits

PDF passages preserve visible hyphens and separate more footnotes and page labels. Text readability is shown separately from extraction limits, and choosing a passage keeps the pages you already selected.

Fixed

Return to saved PDFs

Reopen a private PDF after leaving or reloading the page, then return to its saved claim checks. Older documents remain reachable until their expiry.

Improved

Know which sources need a closer look

Related reporting distinguishes publisher domains without treating an official website as proof by itself. PDF search results offer document inspection, and completed saved checks stop showing Checking.

Fixed

Recognize a completed brief with no matches

A finished watchlist search with no matching reporting now says so clearly, with guidance for adjusting the search.

Daily product release

Clearer introductions to the research tools

Explore the workspaces through distinct illustrations and working previews, with a simpler gallery and more comfortable navigation on phones.

Improved

Explore four tools without waiting for an animation

The second landing section now uses detailed editorial illustrations of articles, world news, documents and social posts. All four workspace links stay available as you scroll naturally, while the opening keeps its 3D computer.

Improved

Explore comfortably on smaller screens

Artwork and explanations stack on phones, with clear spacing and a direct link to each tool. The illustrations load as you approach them.

Improved

Recognize each workspace by its shape

A folded newspaper with an inspection lens, a tiered briefing rack, a bound report and a phone give the four landing previews different forms. Deeper greens, brass details and clearer depth bring them closer to the opening computer, without decorative stands underneath.

Improved

See capture, mapping and scoring more clearly

An optical scanner, a framed evidence board and a reporting instrument replace the simpler How it works objects. Richer materials and uncluttered shapes make the three steps easier to distinguish.

Improved

Keep the globe unobstructed

The globe rotates slowly without a button covering it. It still rests when out of view or when reduced motion is enabled.

Daily product release

A connected path from articles, PDFs and posts to evidence

Keep exact claims, qualifications and source passages together as you investigate articles, PDFs and social posts. Focused briefings, saved checks and comparisons make it easier to continue the same question across workspaces.

Improved

See the result before the details

Article and Social Post checks lead with the outcome and the passages behind it. Supporting and conflicting sources are easier to spot; optional research and history stay within reach. Claims use clearer evidence labels in single and comparison reports.

Fixed

Use newly captured evidence in the next check

Deep Scan sources enter the next saved assessment and, when needed and enabled, its AI explanation. Longer source collections retain later passages, and a source containing both support and disagreement shows both.

New

Keep a claim together across two PDF pages

Select up to two pages and choose a complete statement. Wrapped lines stay together, and claims crossing a page break retain both page locations and any extraction limits. Unavailable selections now explain how to recover.

Improved

Carry saved checks into another report

When you analyze the same article again or compare it, matching claim wording can show its saved external check. If the article text has changed, the previous check is marked for fresh review.

Improved

Check more precise measurements without AI

The standard rules can compare a clearly stated measurement with a direct record when its subject, unit and year match. Estimates, forecasts and different scopes remain unresolved. AI interpretation is recommended for new checks, and you can switch it off.

Fixed

Handle more browser reading interruptions

The new Deep Scan candidate accepts ordinary address variations and can close a visible promotional popup using its dismissal control. It spaces page openings, reuses open tabs and pauses when a publisher asks you to complete an access check.

Improved

See how claims connect to sources

Three distinct 3D objects explain capture, source mapping and scoring. The briefing globe shows country boundaries and rotates slowly, with a pause control and support for reduced motion.

Fixed

Filter the briefing by the story’s focus

Topics reflect the headline and opening focus, so incidental mentions throughout an article do not place it in nearly every category. Older editions use their saved headline and impact passages for more useful filtering.

Improved

See what your topic choices show

Each topic displays its story count, and the visible result count updates as you select or remove topics. The briefing demo and guide explain the same controls.

Improved

Explore calmer, distinct product previews

The landing page gives the article, briefing board, PDF folio and phone more breathing room, aligned text and quieter neighboring previews.

New

See each research tool in action

Explore four distinct 3D examples on the landing page: a folded article and its source, a tiered briefing display, a tabbed PDF folio and a phone with words extracted from its image. Each tool keeps its short explanation and remains understandable when 3D is unavailable.

Improved

Scroll through workspaces more smoothly

The landing page demonstrations follow your scroll without trailing behind. Keyboard and swipe navigation remain available, and the animation rests when you stop scrolling.

Fixed

Recognize Veritas across research pages

Briefing, PDF and Social Post now use the Veritas logo in place of the generic shield in their shared research panels.

Fixed

Choose a PDF with a centered upload control

The file button and filename sit together in the middle of the upload field on desktop and mobile.

Improved

Choose how to read a social post

Use Standard or turn on Deep Scan. If Standard cannot read the link, try Deep Scan and open the extension setup window when needed. Text detected in attached images is included in the post, with the transcription and unread-image limits available to inspect.

Improved

Let your brief finish while you are away

Once your refresh request is saved, the brief keeps building even if you close or reload the page. Your previous brief stays available until the new edition is ready. Deep Scan clearly tells you when browser capture still needs the tab open.

Improved

Compare with a familiar summary

The comparison Summary follows the same layout as a single report, with more room between score drivers and clearer separation between article passages. Paired scores, claim differences and Related Reporting for both articles stay available. Open Atlas from either Full report and keep Article 1, Article 2 and Compare both within reach. The fictional demo uses the same layout.

Fixed

Compare picture content across scan methods

A different size of the same inspected picture no longer creates a claim difference by itself. Changed pictures, captions and evidence relationships still appear in the comparison.

Fixed

Finish a completed Deep Scan

A completed report can appear even if its connection remains open. If a connection stops responding, Veritas checks for the saved result instead of leaving the comparison waiting indefinitely.

Improved

Scan the briefing at a glance

Stories show their source image when available. Refresh every story or only unscored stories with Deep Scan; saved results update your ranking as they finish and remain after reloading the page.

Fixed

Keep the briefing heading in place

The introduction and globe remain visible when moving between Impact briefing and My watchlists. A saved ranking refresh appears with its edition details.

New

Try a two-article comparison

The fictional demo now includes the comparison Summary, Claims, Dimensions, Full reports, Reader and Atlas, with Related Reporting for each article.

Fixed

Keep estimates with their qualifications

Social checks keep directly linked qualifications with the selected statement. A matching number alone cannot turn a stated estimate or limited sample into a confirmed measurement. Older saved checks retain their history and show when a recheck is needed.

Fixed

Keep a claim with the person who made it

Lists, shared subjects and reported statements stay together when splitting them would change their meaning. A quotation keeps its resolved speaker in Atlas, replies follow the person answering, and source links point more precisely to names in the article. Place names used for official statements no longer appear as people.

Fixed

Preserve article details across scan methods

Deep Scan retains plain visible bylines and coauthors for analysis. Reporter contact text stays out of bylines. Captions, including captions shared by several pictures, remain image context instead of becoming article claims, and links back to the same article no longer count as separate author profiles.

Fixed

Read the complete story around its pictures

Embedded pictures no longer cut off later reporting or methods questions and answers. Named newsroom bylines and their dates stay with the article, and Reader keeps pictures, complete captions and links beside the passages they belong to. Pictures can finish loading in the extension Reader, and removed recommendations no longer shift their positions. Explanatory questions and answers remain readable. Lead photographs stay with their story, while survey invitations, player controls and repeated picture credits stay out.

Fixed

Keep undated stories from looking newly published

Refreshing an undated article no longer gives it extra reading priority for appearing recent. Missing rankings remain separate from measured scores.

Fixed

Recognize complete briefs and limited quizzes

Cookie notices elsewhere on a page no longer block a complete short advisory. A quiz introduction is marked as incomplete coverage of the questions and answers.

Improved

Inspect smaller PDF passages

Long pages are divided into smaller passages with exact page-text locations. Line-end markers no longer break words, and unresolved table layouts remain visibly limited for review.

Fixed

Recognize the loss of essential services

Briefing priority can recognize reports of people without water or electricity while keeping denials and statements that no disruption occurred separate.

New

Start with a social post link

Paste a direct post URL to capture its wording and detect a factual claim. The same research used for article claims searches and reads outside sources. Manual correction remains available for inaccessible or ambiguous posts. Browser capture requires the new Deep Scan candidate, awaiting Store approval.

Improved

Recover the remaining sources together

Deep Scan shows when a source opens, is read and is saved. Scan all remaining sources from one control, see individual failures and keep working while submitted checks finish on the server. Browser capture still needs the app tab open until each source is saved.

Improved

Follow a clearer evidence path

Guided Atlas follows the selected claim through its source and passage. Expert Atlas keeps a focused claim available beside the wider graph. Claim actions and missing-evidence notices are simpler to follow.

New

Analyze related coverage your way

Open a related article for analysis in a new tab, or compare it with your current article in this tab.

Improved

Keep your place in a PDF

Original page and Claim research now have separate views beside the passage list. Extraction details stay tucked away, incomplete pages remain visible, and long passages are never silently cut in the middle of a statement.

New

Practice the report before using your own article

First visits to Article, PDF, Social Post and Briefing show a short guide. The Article guide continues into an invented report with working Summary, Reader, Story, Evidence Atlas and claim-check examples. The Briefing guide opens the watchlist form when it is needed.

Improved

A calmer briefing workspace

A compact switch separates Impact briefing from My watchlists. Briefing rows lead with their article and reading priority, with details available when needed. Creating and editing a watchlist uses a wider form.

Fixed

Keep relevant watchlist matches

Reporting found from words inside an article is no longer discarded just because its headline uses different wording. Topic searches and region names now match across discovery methods, and empty scheduled briefs can try again after two hours. The configured discovery source is used without silently switching to another source.

Fixed

Understand an unavailable automatic briefing

The empty state distinguishes setup that is missing, a first edition that has not started, work in progress and an edition that is retrying. It no longer shows a watchlist button inside its description.

Improved

Smoother navigation and clearer comparisons

The sidebar opens with a shorter, reversible movement. Why Veritas Shield has more space between sections and a comparison table linking to each product’s own description. The fictional demo now uses the current report controls.

Daily product release

Research that finishes and stays with your report

Claim checks continue while you work and keep their captured sources for review. Briefings organize recent reporting by topic and reported impact, with clearer guidance across public pages, account setup and browser research.

Fixed

Claim research reaches its result

A saved-claim loading error could stop a check before any external sources were read. Retrying now continues through source capture and assessment, and interrupted checks explain their state.

Improved

Read the evidence behind external reporting

Claim research captures search results and follows relevant references inside those articles. Matching wording, source passages and captured references are shown separately from the conclusion. Sources that could not be read stay available for Deep Scan recovery.

Improved

Choose how to retry

Choose whether to use AI for a new research attempt. Earlier results stay preserved, and you can add a source even when the first check did not finish.

Fixed

Return to saved related reporting

Reopening Summary loads saved coverage without starting the search again. Use Re-run search when you want fresh results.

Improved

A wider window for your briefing

Topic briefs and the impact briefing look across the last 48 hours while keeping relevance checks. A quiet source index can use a public search to look for matches.

Improved

Clearer research workspaces

Briefing actions share consistent sizing. PDF and Social Post show a clear starting point before there is a result.

Improved

Find evidence and check in one step

External Claim Check searches for sources, reads the available pages, and checks their combined evidence. Sources that cannot be read remain visible for Deep Scan recovery, with the claim and its wording preserved.

Fixed

Checks continue after you close the window

Leave the claim window or return to other work while a saved check finishes. Reopen it to see progress or the result, and revisit earlier attempts without losing their evidence.

Improved

Related coverage arrives more reliably

Related Reporting searches two sources together when configured and can show available coverage while another source is unavailable. Saved results remain visible until their History item expires, with a choice to search again.

New

External results beside each claim

Claims now show their saved external checks and captured sources alongside the original article evidence. Shared links open Summary and keep those results, including clear labels when further review is needed.

Improved

Clearer steps while an analysis runs

A quieter progress panel makes the current step and remaining steps easier to scan. Claim actions in guided and expert Evidence Atlas take users straight to the selected claim’s check.

New

Refresh briefing rankings from the full page

Briefing uses Standard article analysis for reading priority without adding reports to History. Articles that cannot be scored stay available without a rank. Deep Scan can refresh one article or the displayed set for your own briefing.

Improved

Change what your watchlists follow

Edit a monitoring profile’s name, topics, search words, regions and schedule. Previous briefing results remain available while you refresh them with the new settings.

Improved

Less clutter around research results

Claim, PDF, Social Post and Briefing results no longer show unused-AI or model-cost labels. Sharing uses a clearer link panel with a visible expiry and an easier copy action.

Improved

Better fit for narrower and shorter windows

Page introductions resize their headings, spacing, and 3D objects together. The landing keeps a balanced layout on narrower desktops, and its gallery makes room for the artwork when the window is short. Forms and tables keep their controls reachable on small screens.

Fixed

A steady sign-in switch

The green selection slides between Password and Email code without jumping up or down. Keyboard selection and window resizing keep it aligned with the chosen option.

Improved

Understand why we built Veritas Shield

Why Veritas Shield now shares our founding story, explains where the product helps with research, and compares its approach with other tools using links to their own descriptions.

Improved

Clearer chapters across public pages

The landing workspace gallery and questions share a contrasting sage surface. Public 3D introductions and closing invitations use it to stand apart from calm reading areas. The landing’s closing invitation stays linen so its entrance remains visible in light and dark mode.

Fixed

The social demo keeps estimates in context

The fictional check now explains why a model estimate cannot establish the post’s claim about an observed result, even when the numbers match.

Fixed

Steady pages with reduced motion

Page introductions and report panels stay visible and still from the first load when reduced motion is enabled.

Improved

Distinct objects for the method and the mission

Methodology now opens with a mechanical balance, while Why Veritas Shield has its own shield and evidence file. The page and navigation use the full product name, and its former address takes users to the renamed page.

Improved

A clearer invitation to try the demos

The fictional demo opens with a new 3D study board and a short introduction. Article, Briefing, PDF, and Social Post examples sit together below it, with their fictional content clearly marked.

Improved

Objects turn toward your mouse

Move the mouse anywhere on a page and its 3D introduction gently turns toward it. Closing invitations respond too. The landing opening and gallery keep their scrolling sequence, while touch and reduced-motion use keep the objects steady.

Fixed

Smoother 3D movement

A timing fix removes skipped animation frames during scrolling and pointer movement. Nearby objects prepare before they enter view, large illustrations limit their graphics workload, and settled objects stop drawing until you interact again.

Improved

Clearer objects in every workspace

The 3D introductions sit more centrally beside their headings. A darker computer frame and base stand out against the page. Social Post has its own phone illustration, while clearer paper edges, folds, dividers, glass and metal finishes make the objects easier to recognize at smaller sizes.

New

A ready-to-read impact briefing

Choose topics such as politics, economy, health, or science. Automatic editions collect and analyze recent articles every two hours, with source passages explaining reported real-world effects. Reporting quality and reading priority remain separate, and late or incomplete editions say so.

Improved

Follow a claim beyond its original source

Article, PDF, and social claim checks can search for original records, opposing evidence, and existing fact checks. Captured passages, failed sources, and unanswered questions stay with the check. Optional AI interpretations require human review.

Improved

Keep context while researching a PDF

Choose one sentence from a passage and keep search results visible while inspecting its original page. Missing pages remain clearly marked.

Fixed

Understand a failed research request

When a research service is unavailable, the workspace explains which request failed instead of showing an unreadable error code.

New

A guide beside the controls

Open Guided tutorial from your account menu on Article, Briefing, PDF, Social Post, or History. It scrolls to the real controls and points out where to paste, choose, or click. You decide when to submit your work.

Improved

Calmer controls and clearer reading

Balanced header controls, a smaller smoothly turning menu button, a simpler History action row, and coordinated Reader highlights make the workspaces easier to scan. Blog articles have a contents list, and Why Veritas Shield explains the main ideas first.

Improved

Access options in every research workspace

Select your subscription label on Article, Briefing, PDF, or Social Post to compare access periods in a redesigned pricing window. Total prices and payment steps stay clear.

Improved

More distinctive public pages

Methodology and Changelog now have their own 3D objects. The landing introduction is better balanced, blog articles use a continuous reading background, and source previews and extension setup are simpler to navigate.

Fixed

A solid measurement frame

The Methodology 3D object now has closed, solid ends instead of looking hollow at its opening.

Improved

A clearer explanation beside the score

Reports and the demo share a redesigned score panel. Open it by clicking or tapping the information button, read what the result and analysis coverage mean, then close it when you are ready.

Improved

A more tangible research folio

The 3D book has curved pages, textured materials, clearer ink and a resting page clip. The pinned workspace gallery sits lower in the available space.

Improved

Keep extension results beside the page

The side panel is on by default where supported. An existing choice to use the compact popup is preserved, and users can switch at any time. These changes are included in the extension candidate awaiting Store approval.

Daily product release

Clearer evidence, steadier research, and easier reading

Reports preserve more of the article’s meaning, research checks keep their limits visible, and everyday navigation is easier. Extension changes are included in the 1.21.0 candidate awaiting Store publication.

Improved

A complete sequence before moving on

The mobile opening and workspace gallery stay in place while their 3D sequence advances, with a brief final hold before the next section. Titles, 3D objects, and actions use the visible screen from the start, with comfortable spacing and the action below the object.

Improved

Less empty space on phones

The opening keeps the computer closer to its title and article action. The workspace gallery uses a shorter frame and scroll, with comfortable room around its heading and button.

Improved

A quieter footer

The extra mobile link grid and desktop legal-link row are removed. Public, research, Privacy, and Terms pages remain available from the main menu.

Fixed

3D objects arrive without an image flash

The computer, workspace gallery, and page objects now appear when their 3D view is ready. A still illustration appears only if 3D cannot load, while text and actions remain available.

Improved

A clearer library for your saved work

History groups reports by month, keeps complete headlines visible, and puts Open report beside each result. Select two reports in order, remove either choice, and see both article names before opening a comparison.

Improved

Objects with a purpose

Terms now has an agreement and pen, while email preferences has an envelope. Both replace artwork borrowed from unrelated tools.

Improved

Choose the appearance that suits you

Choose Light, Dark, or System from the appearance menu. The landing page and shared public and workspace surfaces now follow that choice, with coordinated colors for text, controls, and focused evidence. The landing page ends with the same invitation to analyze an article used across the website.

Fixed

Story returns to the report you asked for

Open report from Story now returns to Summary without reopening a previous Atlas or Reader session. Leaving Story normally keeps your previous report view and expanded details.

Fixed

Recovery stays within reach

Phones keep the analysis error and retry action visible. Password recovery choices support keyboard arrows and retain your email as you switch methods. Reader article details stay within narrow screens.

Improved

A menu button that stays in place

The same circular plus turns into a close icon as the navigation opens beneath it. Button labels have more balanced icon spacing throughout the website.

Improved

Less searching for the next step

Choosing a PDF passage brings its claim field into view. The landing page has less empty space before its closing invitation, and keyboard users can reach the scrolling About section and product comparison table.

Improved

Reports put the evidence first

Score, grade, and coverage now sit together, with clearer report views and a quieter article heading. Expanded claims show every attached passage and named source, without decorative artwork competing with the report.

Improved

Reader and Atlas have room to work

Reader opens across the screen with a comfortable text width and evidence beside the article. Atlas has a compact claim queue, a clearer claim-to-source path, and a phone list that keeps every claim available. Paired paths keep both article names visible.

Improved

A closer, simpler opening

On phones, the opening places its 3D computer between the title and description. The workspace gallery is now an open ribbon, closer to its action. Research tools use shorter empty states, and a visible 3D object replaces its loading illustration completely.

Fixed

The menu reopens with one click

Closing and immediately reopening the site menu no longer loses the next click. Keyboard focus returns inside the reopened menu.

Improved

A shared style, with objects that fit each page

Public pages, research tools, and account introductions now share forest green, warm paper colors, and spacious serif headings. Distinct objects introduce news, documents, evidence checks, privacy, navigation, and your profile. Reports and forms remain steady while you work.

Improved

Follow the story in three dimensions

Scroll through three screens on a 3D research terminal, then four workspaces on a curved gallery. Clearer chapters, less repeated copy, and an open folio complete the new landing page. Larger screen labels, softer lighting, and closer views make the objects easier to see. Keyboard controls remain available, motion can stay still, and illustrations appear when 3D is unavailable.

Fixed

Missed brief updates no longer look complete

An automatic briefing update now reports when a topic could not be refreshed. Completed topics stay saved when the remaining topic is tried again.

Improved

A new space to follow the evidence

Forest-green introductions, larger editorial headings, and dimensional workspace transitions bring the website together. Explore Article, Briefing, PDF, and Social Post from one moving gallery, with calm reading surfaces and reduced-motion support.

Improved

Every workspace is within reach

Open the sliding desktop sidebar or full-screen mobile menu to move between research tools and public pages. Keyboard navigation, visible selection, and familiar text cursors keep the new design usable.

Fixed

The article stays separate from nearby page content

Standard and Deep Scan more carefully exclude related-story cards, repeated article sections, author details, and publisher AI summaries. Article headings, original passages, and reporting-method notes keep their place.

Improved

More everyday factual claims remain visible

Short, complete event statements and date-led figures now enter the claim map more consistently. Initials, noun lists, shared actions, and quoted wording are less likely to break a sentence into misleading fragments.

Fixed

Comparisons preserve who did what

Similar wording no longer makes reversed actions look like the same claim. Active and passive versions can still match, and changed quantities remain visible as changes.

Fixed

Quotations and responses keep the right source

A new speaker no longer inherits the previous speaker’s identity. Clear full names, titles, and later surname references stay connected, while denials and requests for comment apply only to the allegation they address.

Fixed

A matching phrase or number is not enough for a verdict

Claim checks retain the selected speaker, statement, place, measure, unit, and time period. Checks also keep surrounding denials, corrections, and hypothetical examples with the selected wording, so a cropped quotation or number cannot silently change its meaning.

Fixed

Conflicting evidence and date limits stay visible

Optional AI checks cannot turn both supporting and contradicting evidence into a simple Supported result. Sources outside a chosen date limit are excluded, and uncertain results keep an explanation of what remains unresolved. Cited passages link to the exact stored text used for the check.

Improved

Older research results clearly ask for a fresh check

Checks and briefs made with earlier methods retain their original result, date, explanation, and review history. They now ask for a recheck or refresh, and older checks cannot be exported as current evidence packets.

Fixed

PDFs explain missing text without losing the other pages

Document Explorer preserves every page number, identifies unreadable or partly processed pages, and distinguishes missing text from no search matches. Readable recovery text takes priority over garbled text, and Chinese text no longer depends on English word spacing. Claim checks and exported evidence packets retain the original document version and its extraction limits. Timed-out extraction stops safely so the next upload can retry.

Fixed

Research results follow the current selection

Switching articles, claims, documents, or briefing profiles cannot replace the new view with a late result from the previous one. Editing or resetting a social claim clears its old verdict and ignores unfinished checks for the old input.

Improved

Briefing explains what headline matches can show

Groups keep matching headline wording together without merging changed places, numbers, or meaning. Similar topics do not prove the same event, and a discovered link is not presented as an inspected source passage.

New

Optional guidance for a first article

New users can open three short steps below the Analyzer, explore an example report, or dismiss the guide. It stays out of the way during analysis and finishes after a successful report or comparison.

Fixed

History can search beyond the first loaded reports

Load more remains available while searching, even when nothing currently matches. The search keeps its wording as older reports arrive, clearing it returns focus to the search field, and failed loads offer a clear retry. Comparison choices remain reachable without covering the last report.

Improved

Keyboard and phone navigation keep the next action close

Report and sign-in choices support arrow keys, Home, and End. Long public pages have a phone contents menu, account terms remain reachable on small screens, and the landing page places its actions before the illustration.

Fixed

Blog articles fit the phone and recover missing images

Article text stays within the screen, including longer sections and links. If a smaller image version cannot load, the original image can still appear when the page opens.

Improved

Reader opens with more room for the article

Opening Reader starts in Reading view, while opening a specific passage shows its evidence. On phones, article details and highlight explanations expand when needed. Passage jumps wait for the layout and focus the selected text.

Improved

More comfortable controls and clearer recovery

Approach comparisons have larger phone controls and visible keyboard focus. Unavailable pages offer a clear route back to Home or the Analyzer. Profile forms support keyboard submission and clear saving states; sharing offers manual copying when the browser blocks Copy.

Fixed

Reader and Atlas keep long evidence lists usable

Every detected evidence group remains available, long claim previews fit their cards, and Atlas selections retain clear button behavior. Reader also makes the article’s reference links easier to inspect, and named-source totals consistently include identified speakers across report views. Claim checks show full captured passages and any additional cited passages on demand.

Fixed

The extension recovers without mixing up articles

Temporary connection checks offer Retry, closing settings restores the current state, and the side panel follows the active tab. Duplicate starts and late updates cannot replace a different article’s report. Switching accounts clears the previous account’s cached result, and open panels respond to sign-out and access changes.

Improved

Extension reading keeps your choices and your place

Reader honors text size at narrow widths and changes theme without losing the reading position or open evidence. Reader and full-report actions appear before dense details, and quotation characters stay intact when opening a passage.

Improved

Briefing is ready before you build it

Briefing can find current public reporting for active topic profiles in advance, then group, order, and explain those saved stories when users build a brief.

Fixed

Related Reporting no longer blocks on a busy provider

When public searches are temporarily limited, Veritas waits before trying again. The article report and saved related results remain available.

Improved

Claim checks start from cited evidence

When nearby links point to relevant sources outside the publisher’s site, Veritas can save up to two sources and their closest passages before checking the claim without AI.

Improved

Published fact-check details keep their original credit

Published fact-check details can join the evidence packet with their original claim and rating. They remain credited to the fact-checker and do not change the article score or become Veritas’s own verdict.

Fixed

Saved briefing work remains available

When public discovery is temporarily busy, users now keep their monitoring profile and latest brief, see when to try again, and avoid repeated requests that would extend the wait.

Improved

Discovery requests share one careful pace

Briefing and Related Reporting now reuse recent searches and space new requests apart, reducing avoidable interruptions without adding AI or a paid discovery service.

Daily product release

Research starts with inspectable evidence

Users can prioritize developing stories, explore long documents, check a social claim, and follow related reporting while keeping article scoring separate from external verification.

New

A briefing ordered by reasons to read

Topic profiles group recent reporting and explain its order using possible impact, countries represented, source variety, recency, topic relevance, and the evidence available to inspect.

New

Claim checks stay with the article

Users can check a major claim from its report and save the sources and a verdict limited to that claim, separately from the reporting-evidence score.

New

Documents keep their page references

Document Explorer extracts searchable PDF passages, preserves page locations, and lets a selected passage begin an evidence check.

New

Social posts have a focused check

A separate Social Check captures public post context and checks only the claim the user confirms, without labeling the whole account or post.

New

Related reporting is easier to follow

Article reports can find recent coverage, remove duplicate links, flag matching headline wording, and show whether a result comes from the same or a different publisher without claiming editorial independence.

Improved

AI use is limited and visible

Reading page text or scanned text, matching, calculations, citations, finding stories, and ordering results use fixed rules. Optional AI is used only when those methods cannot resolve the meaning, and cannot change an article score.

New

Extension results can stay beside the article

Users may keep the compact popup or enable a persistent side panel, then return from a priority claim to its exact passage in Reader.

Daily product release

Email-code access, personal email choices and clearer policies

Use email codes to sign in or recover access, choose which product emails to receive, and get clearer account notices. Updated policy pages, plan explanations and Deep Scan guidance make the service easier to understand.

Improved

Cleaner document introduction

Both pages now identify the website, web app, Chrome extension, and service emails without an extra divider above the effective date.

Improved

A more direct legal-page layout

The summary cards and boxed contact panels have been removed from both legal pages so users can read the full document in one continuous layout.

Improved

Privacy practices are documented clearly

The Privacy Policy now explains account, analysis, extension, payment, email, security-location, provider, cookie, retention, and user-choice practices in one navigable document.

Improved

Service expectations are complete

The Terms now explain account responsibilities, analysis limits, submitted content, acceptable use, prepaid access, communications, availability, and legal protections without presenting the score as a truth verdict.

Fixed

Publication email starts immediately

Selecting email during publication now begins delivery instead of leaving the message waiting for a separate scheduled check.

New

Published items can be emailed later

A published article or announcement can be sent from its editorial page, including resuming an unfinished send without repeating completed recipients or deliberately sending a new copy.

Improved

Blog link previews reflect the current page

Links to Veritas Shield pages inside an article now preview the live page rather than a manually maintained picture that can fall out of date.

New

A welcome after account creation

New email and Google accounts receive one welcome message, even if an interrupted signup has to be retried.

Improved

Verification emails stay securely generated

Email codes continue to be created and protected by the verification service while using the currently approved message design.

Improved

Terms and Privacy keep distinct messages

Legal updates preserve their own heading, explanation, document link, and Veritas Shield Legal sender.

Improved

Long email copy stays visually balanced

Titles and descriptions now choose balanced word breaks before sending, keeping multi-line messages easier to scan across phones and larger screens.

New

Manage email choices in Profile

Users can subscribe or unsubscribe from articles, announcements, and product updates at any time.

Improved

Read published content inside the email

Article and announcement emails can include the cover, written content, in-article pictures, and a direct link to the website.

New

Country-change sign-in alerts

After a country has been seen for an account, a later sign-in from another country sends a security alert to the account email.

Improved

Clearer legal notices

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy messages now keep distinct names, summaries, and document links.

Improved

Clearer sender addresses

Users can recognize whether an email is an article, announcement, newsletter, or product update from its sender address. One consistent address remains available when a separate sender is not set up.

New

Dedicated article and announcement delivery

Subscribed updates can be sent from the verified Veritas Shield news domain while verification codes and account-security messages stay separate.

Improved

Retries do not create duplicate email

A temporary sending error or limit pauses delivery. Retrying resumes the same email without sending another copy to users who already received it.

Improved

Deep Scan setup fits without scrolling

The Analyzer now gives the purpose, browser status, and one clear install action in a smaller dialog.

Improved

Profile shows the complete plan

Plan details now include unlimited analysis, Chrome Deep Scan, explained reporting scores, Reader, Evidence Atlas, comparison, and private 30-day History.

New

Sign in with an email code

Existing users can request a short-lived code instead of entering a password.

Improved

One verification path for password changes

Password recovery and Profile password changes can now confirm the account email with the same clear code flow.

Improved

Emergency sign-in choices stay available

Password and Google sign-in remain available if email codes are paused, and the previous password-reset link can serve as a backup.

Improved

Account screens fit more devices

Sign-in, signup, and password recovery adapt to common screen heights without making the whole page scroll.

Fixed

Mobile standards cards stay still while swiping

The five journalism-standard cards no longer rise into view on phones; the restrained desktop entrance remains.

New

Verify email with a six-digit code

Email signup sends a short-lived code and creates the account only after that code is confirmed.

Improved

Resending and code errors are clear

The signup screen shows the resend countdown, remaining attempts when available, expired-code guidance, and a clear wait message when too many codes are requested.

Improved

Google and existing sign-in stay familiar

Google users continue through Google without an extra code, while existing email users keep the same password login and recovery flow.

Daily product release

More faithful articles and complete evidence maps

Reports and Reader keep the same article text, while Evidence Atlas exposes complete claim-to-source paths. Clearer comparison limits and explanations help users understand what the evidence does and does not establish.

New

Understand the Reporting Evidence Map

A new plain-language guide shows how a claim connects to its source and supporting passage, and what it means when that connection is missing.

Improved

See what each reporting signal means

Claims, sources, evidence, and quotations now have short definitions before users explore Reader, Evidence Atlas, or comparison.

Improved

One support address on legal pages

Privacy and Terms now direct questions to support@veritas-shield.org.

Fixed

Consent screens and newsletters no longer become articles

Cookie choices, access screens, and multi-topic newsletters are withheld before Reader, grading, or Atlas can combine them into one report.

Improved

Standard and Deep Scan keep the same article structure

When two methods recover the same words, Veritas keeps the clearer visible paragraphs. Poorly preserved browser text can no longer be described as a highly complete article.

Fixed

Claims and Atlas show the same evidence connections

A claim shows support only when its saved evidence map contains that connection. Claims and Atlas show the same missing-evidence notice for every unsupported claim.

Fixed

Methods stay in Reader while surrounding page content stays out

Reporting methods remain inspectable, while highlights, captions, reporter biographies, media promotions, funding notices, and response-request wording stay outside article claims.

Improved

Sources and quotations keep cleaner identities

Authors of recommended stories, sentence fragments, and vague data or footage labels no longer create false source names. Repeated forms of one name stay together, and continuing written statements keep their speaker more accurately.

Improved

Long investigations keep more complete claim maps

Reports can map twice as many claims and evidence connections. Articles that exceed the complete-map limits still receive an explanation instead of a grade.

Improved

Comparisons disclose revision and coverage boundaries

Comparing scans now warns when the same article link produced different text or either saved evidence map is incomplete.

Improved

Different articles compare without forced matches

When no claims relate across two articles, Veritas says so clearly, keeps score and dimension comparisons available, and lists every claim under the article that contains it.

Improved

Finished reports fully clear the Analyzer

After analysis, the article begins with comfortable space below the website header without leaving part of the URL controls visible.

Improved

Why it scored expands to three important claims

Why it scored now expands from one claim to the same top-three order as Claims to inspect, while keeping one focused evidence path open at a time.

Fixed

Long Atlas claims stay inside their cards

Expert List keeps long claim text inside its card and preserves the connection summary below it.

Improved

Find every evidence gap

Find gaps now lists every claim with an explicit missing-evidence connection, rather than stopping after an initial group.

Improved

Earlier focus: one clear reason first

Earlier in this day’s release, Why it scored focused on the single claim that mattered most, while Trace kept every complete source-and-evidence path. The later update above expands that explanation to three claims.

Improved

Expert Atlas keeps every claim available

Map, Chain, Timeline, and List now use the same complete set of claims and connections, so changing the view cannot hide later claims.

Improved

Comparison keeps the same Atlas coverage

Each article keeps the complete Guided and Expert claim sets, and Compare both retains every aligned claim path.

Fixed

Story reliably opens Summary

Open report now closes any Atlas view already waiting on the page before returning to Summary.

Improved

Finished reports begin at the article

After analysis, the article identity, direct review actions, four report choices, and score remain visible with comfortable space below the website header.

Daily product release

Cleaner Reader articles and a fuller extension report

Reader leaves recommendation lists outside the article, Atlas traces scoring claims through complete evidence paths, large report numbers remain fully visible, and the extension opens Reader without a false update warning.

Fixed

Recommended stories stay outside Reader

A related-story list placed inside an article no longer becomes Reader text or report evidence, while the real article paragraphs after it remain available.

Improved

Trace every complete claim path

Atlas now lists every mapped claim that connects to both a named source and an evidence passage. Why it scored remains a shorter explanation of the result, while incomplete paths remain under Find gaps.

Fixed

Story opens the report you asked for

Open report on the final Story step now returns to Summary instead of reopening a previous Atlas view.

Fixed

Time phrases no longer appear as sources

Sentence openings such as “On Monday” and “Late Friday” remain timing context instead of becoming a person or organization in Reader, reports, or Atlas.

Fixed

Large report values remain fully visible

Score, grade, analysis coverage, and Story signal numbers now keep their complete lower and right edges instead of being clipped by their surface.

Improved

Extension results show the complete reporting picture

The popup now includes the evidence snapshot, main score drivers, all seven reporting areas, and priority claims instead of stopping at three scores.

Improved

Full report starts at Summary

Opening the full report from the extension now starts with the report Summary. Evidence Atlas remains available when the user chooses it.

Fixed

Reader opens after a completed extension analysis

A directly analyzed news page now receives the complete Reader connection before opening, so a supported extension no longer falls into a false unavailable state.

Fixed

Long extension reports scroll continuously

The signed-in extension now uses one report scroller, so one continuous gesture can reach the top or bottom without stopping at a second page boundary.

Improved

Extension sign-in uses balanced space

The sign-in window fits its account heading and form while keeping a calm margin above and below the content.

Fixed

Temporary access checks do not look like updates

The extension shows version numbers only when an update is actually required. A temporary account or connection issue now explains the real problem.

Improved

Completed reports stop at the report choices

After analysis, the four report choices settle below the website header with a small amount of breathing room.

Daily product release

Fairer scores and one connected website and extension

Verification work still earns credit without taking too much from ordinary reporting. Follow-up evidence stays connected more carefully, and the website and extension now share one light, dark, or system appearance.

Improved

Verification work has a fairer place in the score

Visible fact-checking methods still earn credit, but their absence no longer takes too much from an otherwise well-sourced article. Evidence, source clarity, and careful wording carry more of the score.

Improved

Short follow-ups keep the right evidence connection

A sentence beginning with words such as it, they, or this report can stay connected to the source immediately before it when the meaning is clear. Unrelated nearby sentences remain separate.

New

Website and extension appearance stay together

Choose System, Light, or Dark in either place and the other follows. A new extension button uses the same three choices as the website.

Improved

Completed reports settle below the title tools

After analysis finishes, Summary, Claims, Dimensions, and Full report move just below the website header, leaving the Story, Reader, and Evidence Atlas row above the visible area.

Fixed

The extension opens on the right screen

Signed-out users see sign-in first, while signed-in users see the article screen first. The wrong screen no longer appears briefly while the extension checks the account.

Improved

Analyzer recognizes a recent extension faster

Analyzer can show the last recently verified extension state immediately, then quietly confirms it again so an update, sign-out, or removal still appears quickly.

Improved

Extension pages change more calmly

Moving between the article screen and settings now uses one short, subtle transition and keeps the no-motion preference immediate.

Improved

Extension sign-in fits one screen

The sign-in page keeps the account details, form, and account link visible in the normal extension window without requiring a scroll.

Fixed

Reader leaves player leftovers outside the article

Download labels and raw video or audio player code no longer appear as article paragraphs, claims, or Evidence Atlas items.

Fixed

Atlas keeps claim text aligned

Unusual invisible spaces copied from a webpage are handled consistently, so a claim stays connected to the exact Reader passage it came from.

Fixed

Complete articles keep their score

A tiny menu, media card, or webpage fragment can no longer overrule a complete article and cause its score to be withheld. Two genuinely different article bodies still stop scoring for review.

Improved

Extension sign-in is quieter

The website and extension account reminder is now one short centered line, keeping attention on signing in.

Fixed

Extension sign-in always starts at the top

Chrome no longer reopens the sign-in page partway down the form after checking the account, so the full account heading and form stay visible together.

Fixed

Extension sign-in keeps its full window

The sign-in page now gives Chrome a normal full-height layout, so it cannot collapse into a tiny empty strip below the toolbar.

Daily product release

Cleaner claims and easier report navigation

Publication timestamps no longer appear as claims, important details are easier to scan, and completed reports now open at the right place.

Fixed

Article update times stay out of claims

Standalone Published and Updated timestamps remain article information instead of appearing as unsupported claims in reports or Evidence Atlas. Real events that mention a date still remain claims.

Improved

Score explanations appear once

Summary and Full report no longer repeat the score-status message below the score. The explanation and any active limitation remain available from the information button beside Reporting-evidence score.

Improved

Important claims wait until requested

What deserves attention first starts closed in Full report and shows a simple claim count and review action instead of squeezing a long claim into one crowded row.

Improved

Full report details take less space

Evidence details and priority claims now use aligned controls and a smaller, clearer open view, so the Full report is easier to scan without losing the useful claim information.

Improved

Important claims are easier to compare

Opening What deserves attention first now shows one balanced row per claim, keeping the claim, review details, evidence connection, and Reader link close together without a large empty area.

Improved

Report tools stay within reach

Story, Reader, and Evidence Atlas are now visible beside the report title. The three-dot menu keeps only the original article, copy-link, and sharing actions.

Improved

Completed reports open at the useful controls

After an analysis finishes, the Analyzer waits for Summary, Claims, Dimensions, and Full report to appear, then gently moves them below the header so users can begin without searching down the page.

Daily product release

Safer extension updates and a calmer browser experience

Chrome Web Store updates can now move through review while the current published extension keeps working. The extension also feels more like the Veritas Shield website, with clearer screens for analyzing, reading, signing in, and changing settings.

Improved

Chrome handles public updates

Store users receive Chrome’s normal automatic updates. When Chrome knows a newer release is ready, Veritas can explain the update and take the user to the official Store listing.

Fixed

Incompatible extensions stop before analysis

If an installed version cannot collect the article details Veritas needs, Deep Scan pauses before analysis and explains the update while Standard analysis remains available.

Improved

Analysis improvements reach the website and extension together

Standard and Deep Scan use the same current extraction, evidence, claim, Atlas, and scoring rules.

Improved

The extension now feels like the website

The popup, sign-in screen, settings, progress, results, and Reader now share the website’s calm layout, larger controls, and clear groups. Decorative green lines were removed so the important actions and evidence are easier to notice.

Improved

The Store page shows the real extension

Chrome Web Store images now use the actual popup, results, settings, and Reader so users can understand the experience before installing it.

Daily product release

Cleaner articles, more accurate sources, and easier access to originals

Standard and Deep Scan now agree more often about what belongs to an article. Reports identify sources more carefully, and users can reopen or copy the original article link from History and shared reports.

Improved

Original articles stay attached to reports

Single and comparison reports now offer safe Read original article and Copy article link actions from History, live results, and shared views. Comparison reports label each article separately.

Fixed

Webpage controls stay outside the article

Cookie notices, sign-in messages, video controls, and similar webpage items are removed before Reader or the report uses the article.

Fixed

Standard and Deep Scan choose the complete article more consistently

A clearly complete article can now be accepted without unrelated text at the end making it look incomplete. Veritas still withholds the score when it cannot safely find the article boundary.

Fixed

Headings and captions do not become scored claims

Article headings remain useful Reader structure, while standalone headings, media captions, dependent clause fragments, and embedded-player descriptions stay outside the claim map.

Improved

Named sources must actually provide information

Dates, places, sentence-opening words, recipients, and long titles are less likely to be mistaken for a person or organization that supplied the information.

Improved

Documents are kept separate from people

Reports, filings, archives, dictionaries, and other records are identified as documents instead of being mistaken for people who spoke.

Improved

Follow-up quotations keep the right speaker

A quotation can now stay connected to a clearly identified nearby official or group member. Veritas leaves it unattributed when the speaker is too far away or unclear.

Fixed

Publisher credits do not replace the real author

When page information names both a reporter and the publisher, the report keeps the reporter as the author. A publisher can still be the author when the article clearly credits only that organization.

Fixed

Atlas inspection stays on the selected claim

Opening a Source, Evidence, or connected-item card now changes the inspected detail without silently returning the focused path to the first priority claim. Only an explicit claim choice, Previous, or Next changes claims.

Fixed

Job titles no longer create false sources

Words inside a person’s title or an organization’s name stay part of that identity instead of making a nearby person, party, or topic look like a source.

Improved

Opinions stay connected to the person who expressed them

Criticism and condemnation now attach to the person or organization expressing that view. Short quoted labels are not treated as full spoken quotations.

Improved

Standard and Deep Scan share the correction

Both analysis paths use the same evidence rules, so Reader annotations, claims, reports, comparison, and Evidence Atlas receive the same corrected source identities.

Improved

Difficult pages still receive the complete analysis

Ordinary articles continue normally, while pages that need extra recovery still receive the complete analysis process.

Fixed

Article links stay visible in Reader

When two ways of reading a page find the same article, Reader now keeps the linked words from the copy that still has them. Links from other parts of the webpage are not added.

Fixed

Evidence Atlas columns line up

A long claim list now stays inside the same bottom boundary as the focused path. You can scroll the claim list without making the whole Atlas uneven.

Daily product release

More dependable capture, evidence and setup

Keep article wording and source identities aligned across the score, Reader and Evidence Atlas. Clearer quotation handling, capture limits and Deep Scan setup help users inspect a report and recover when a connection needs attention.

Fixed

Complete Deep Scan articles keep their score

When several methods agree on the full article, a weaker page result can no longer make that article look incomplete and remove its score.

Fixed

Story listings and access checks stay out of Reader

Collection pages and verification challenges are identified before a report is published, so a list of headlines or browser-check copy cannot be graded as one article.

Fixed

Reader and Atlas use the same saved article

Paragraphs, claims, pictures, edits, and evidence locations now stay tied to one exact article copy, so they do not shift between report views.

Fixed

Repeated introductions stay outside the report

Repeated headlines, author and date blocks, audio prompts, recommendations, and duplicate copies of the article are removed before analysis.

Improved

Long articles keep more complete claim coverage

Reports can now map up to 120 claims, while repeated versions of the same claim only get one chance to affect the score.

Fixed

Article coverage follows page format

A complete short brief can pass without being mistaken for a truncated article, while unfinished liveblogs, transcripts, galleries, and video-first pages receive an explanation instead of a premature score.

Fixed

Reader leaves out embedded media controls

Video cards, player prompts, highlight labels, and similar webpage controls stay outside the article in both Standard and Deep Scan.

Fixed

General groups are not mistaken for named sources

Vague groups, placeholders, and incomplete abbreviations are less likely to be treated as a named person or organization.

Improved

Quotation results reflect real spoken quotes

Complete quotations and clear transcript turns count, while short quoted labels and scare quotes do not distort the result.

Fixed

Atlas claims remain complete sentences

A second action stays connected to the person or thing performing it instead of appearing as a broken, unsupported claim.

Improved

Atlas distinguishes quotation support precisely

A quotation linked to a speaker may show that the speaker made the statement. It does not prove that the statement itself is true.

Improved

Deep Scan is easier to choose

The Analyzer now places Deep Scan beside One article and Compare two as a compact, balanced choice with its state inside the control, an accessible switch, and restrained motion.

Fixed

Article links stay clean and clickable

Linked words stay clickable in website and extension Reader. The underlying link code and addresses do not appear as article prose, annotations, claims, Atlas items, or comparison text.

Fixed

Deep Scan keeps its saved choice on reload

The Analyzer restores the saved on or off choice before showing the control, so it no longer briefly flashes the opposite state during loading.

Fixed

Installed older extensions are recognized

The Analyzer recognizes replies from older extensions, keeps slower replies from being lost during overlapping checks, and asks for an update instead of incorrectly reporting that the extension is missing.

Improved

Deep Scan state changes feel settled

The compact switch keeps one stable footprint while its green surface and On or Off label transition together, with an immediate reduced-motion path.

Improved

Extension updates explain the next step

An outdated extension now opens a focused update screen with installed and required versions, a clear update action, and confirmation that Standard analysis remains available.

Improved

Complete articles avoid unnecessary recovery

Complete articles move directly to analysis, while difficult pages still receive the full recovery process instead of a lower-quality shortcut.

Fixed

Topic links no longer look like source documents

A link counts as a document only when it clearly points to a study, report, record, dataset, filing, audit, or other named publication that the article actually uses as evidence.

Improved

Claims and sources stay separate

Evidence Atlas now requires a source to be something that actually supplied information or evidence. Standard and Deep Scan use the same rule.

Fixed

Continuing quotations keep their speaker

A complete quotation introduced or followed by a speech tag such as “she added” now resolves to the closest unambiguous nearby speaker, including a quotation that continues at the start of the next paragraph.

Improved

Automatic quote checks and Reader edits follow the same rules

Both systems use nearby names, source descriptions, and wording such as “she said” consistently. A distant word or an unclear reference cannot create false quotation credit.

Fixed

The listener is not mistaken for the speaker

In wording such as “a source told an outlet,” Veritas identifies the source as the speaker instead of the outlet, audience, or voters.

Fixed

Quotes still connect when a listener is named

Wording such as “the governor telling voters” or “a researcher said in an interview” now works in both automatic detection and Reader review.

Improved

Follow-up quotes connect safely through words like “saying”

A complete quotation can connect to one clear nearby speaker. Short labels, interrupted sentences, and unclear speaker choices remain unattributed.

Daily product release

More complete articles, clearer sharing, and a more consistent product

Standard analysis, Deep Scan, and Reader now use the same clean article more consistently. Sharing images, search information, mobile layouts, pictures, and the extension were also brought into the same experience.

Fixed

Similar controls now move in the same way

Analyzer choices, claim filters, report layouts, and Atlas article choices now use the same calm selection animation, with a no-motion option.

Improved

Comparison Atlas clearly names each article

The choices now say Article 1, Article 2, and Compare both, and selecting one article shows its complete evidence map.

Improved

Completed analyses start with the result

One-article and two-article analyses both remove the generic Analyzer introduction after completion so the report identity becomes the first heading.

Fixed

Monthly plan amounts match the real total

Plan cards calculate the monthly equivalent from the live total and length, then clearly separate payment, access, and renewal information.

Improved

Standard and Deep Scan keep the same article structure

Both analysis methods now preserve paragraphs, headings, quotations, and lists in the same order.

Fixed

Reader restores readable paragraphs

Older reports and pages with unusual formatting now appear as readable sections without moving evidence highlights.

Fixed

One day has one changelog entry

Every change published on the same calendar day is now consolidated into one release section instead of Update 1, Update 2, and similar fragments.

Fixed

Deep Scan Reader matches its article

Deep Scan now keeps the selected text, paragraphs, links, and pictures together as one article and waits for a stable complete browser snapshot before finishing.

Fixed

Reader contains the article, not its controls

Standard and Deep Scan leave out repeated headlines, author and date blocks, share buttons, follow prompts, and player text while keeping the real article.

Improved

Standard analysis finds more modern articles

Standard analysis can read more text stored in modern webpages and confirmed alternate article versions without running the publisher’s code.

Improved

Extra article recovery is kept under control

Extra recovery for an incomplete page has limits on downloads, file size, time, and work. It also checks that redirected pages still belong to the requested article.

Fixed

Unknown links stay unknown

When recovered article text does not include its original hyperlinks, Veritas no longer treats unrelated webpage links as article evidence or describes the missing link data as a confirmed absence.

Improved

Standard analysis recovers more complete modern articles

Standard analysis can read more text stored in webpages, hidden article sections, and clearly linked continuations without running the publisher’s code.

Fixed

Incomplete endings withhold the grade

A strong mid-sentence cut-off now marks the article as incomplete even below the size ceiling, while ordinary unpunctuated headings are not treated as truncation.

Fixed

Outdated extensions stop before changing a report

Deep Scan, Reader, recovery, and evidence edits now pause an outdated extension before it can create or change a report.

Improved

Repeat analyses keep one current report

Analyzing the same URL refreshes its existing History report, and existing report or comparison share links resolve that newest saved data.

Improved

Search engines now see the current product information

Page titles, descriptions, links, icons, Blog pages, and the sitemap now describe Veritas and its article reports consistently.

Fixed

The mobile first look stays three lines

The three landing-page product phrases now scale within narrow phone widths and remain one line each instead of wrapping into a longer block.

Improved

Reader pictures open with the article

Article pictures now appear by default in Standard and Deep Scan Reader reports, with a compact control available when a user prefers to hide them.

Improved

Reader keeps only useful guidance

Two redundant Reader and evidence-helper sentences were removed while accessible labels and active update status remain available.

Improved

The extension feels like the same product

The popup, sign-in, results, and in-page Reader now match the website’s design, controls, pictures, reading views, evidence navigation, and full-report access.

Improved

Every public page has its own sharing poster

Home, Analyzer, About, Methodology, Blog, guide and announcement archives, Changelog, Privacy, Terms, and shared reports now use clean 1200×630 posters with exact page messaging and page-specific Veritas artwork; individual Blog posts keep their authored covers.

Improved

Announcement covers stay varied

Announcement artwork now uses more varied styles and layouts instead of repeatedly looking like a newsroom image or a Veritas webpage.

Fixed

Page previews stay current

Link previews for Veritas pages now use the same poster as search results and shared links.

Daily product release

Clearer explanations, clearer evidence, and easier mobile use

The website now explains Veritas in simpler words. Reports more clearly separate support, attribution, missing evidence, and claims that do not appear in the other article, on both phones and computers.

Improved

The website explains the product on first look

Public pages and shared images now say what Veritas analyzes, what users receive, what they can do next, and what the score cannot prove.

Fixed

Evidence proximity no longer reads as truth support

Reports, comparison, Atlas, and exports distinguish a nearby passage from what it actually does: support or contradict the claim, provide context or a citation, identify who said it, or leave the evidence unclear or insufficient.

Fixed

Absent claims are not evidence gaps

A claim found in only one article is labeled as absent from the other. Evidence-gap language is reserved for a claim that is present but lacks an adequate attached passage.

Improved

Comparison keeps both article identities visible

A compact phone header keeps Article 1 and Article 2 visible. Clear change labels, claim filters, and a default view of one report at a time help users compare without suggesting a truth winner.

Improved

Reader preserves your place

Switching between Reading and Evidence keeps the same text in view, evidence jumps include nearby paragraph text, and phones can open evidence without scrolling to the end.

Improved

Atlas claim lists fit the phone screen

Guided, Expert, and comparison claim lists stack vertically on phones, with compact controls and larger close buttons. Separate filters distinguish missing evidence from claims found in only one article.

Improved

Account and History start with the work

Compact phone summaries place saved reports, search, profile fields, security, and plan status before the artwork, using the familiar linen design.

Fixed

Plan pricing states the real purchase

Plan cards show prepaid total prices, monthly equivalents, no automatic renewal, the access end date, and a clear way to view plans or extend active access.

Improved

Progress and setup stay relevant

Analysis shows the current article, progress, task, and whether its tab must stay open. Deep Scan uses one clear status icon on computers and stays hidden on phones that cannot install the extension.

Daily product release

Easier-to-read motion and clearer loading messages

Landing-page movement is slower and more purposeful, while loading indicators now look and behave consistently. Reports and evidence remain still and easy to read.

Improved

The landing promise has time to be read

Four evidence-focused phrases appear at a measured pace without shifting the page. Users who prefer reduced motion see the complete first phrase immediately.

Improved

Marketing motion explains the reading path

A brief evidence highlight, words emphasized while scrolling, and gently revealed feature numbers guide attention while keeping the same landing actions and linen design.

Improved

The membership card moves subtly with the pointer

The membership card tilts slightly and catches a soft highlight under the pointer. It stays still on touchscreens and for reduced-motion users, and account forms do not move.

Improved

Waiting states share one language

Analysis progress uses a grid of dots, page and cover preparation use bars, and submissions use compact dots. Each waiting state has an accessible label and a quieter reduced-motion option.

Daily product release

Clearer reports, evidence maps and everyday navigation

Explore Evidence Atlas with better controls and more readable connections, then move between reports, Reader and saved work with steadier layouts. Account pages and setup guidance follow the same clearer design.

Improved

Expert Atlas lets users arrange the map

Each map item has a consistent icon and can be dragged while its connecting lines stay attached. Fit returns the map to its organized columns.

New

The landing page previews the report views

A slow preview shows real Veritas report and evidence views, with a pause control. It stays still on phones and for users who prefer reduced motion.

Improved

Landing features have a calmer boundary

Why Veritas Shield uses one section divider and clear spacing between Reader, Evidence Atlas, and Deep Scan.

New

Public pages close with an evidence skyline

A quiet illustration of buildings shaped from documents now sits below the final actions on the linen background.

Improved

Landing methodology tells one story

One open Read-to-Measure-to-Explain sequence replaces repeated method prompts and nested cards, making the landing explanation shorter.

Improved

Reader signals take less space

Source, read time, length, and score now use compact inline signals without decorative status dots, leaving more room for the article and evidence inspector.

Improved

Atlas paths stay aligned

Icons, labels, details, and connecting lines now stay in place even when quotations have different lengths.

Improved

Methodology starts with the answer

A one-minute introduction and compact scoring view explain the method first. Users can expand the sources for every cited link and detailed rule.

Improved

Account access feels part of the evidence desk

Log in and sign up now use the linen design, quieter sign-in choices, and one focused form. Google, email, recovery, and the return to the requested page work as before.

Improved

Analysis progress is easier to follow

The current task, progress, and three clear steps remain visible without putting every update inside another box.

Fixed

Blog and announcement previews reopen smoothly

Returning the pointer to a Blog or announcement link can show its preview without loading the picture again.

Improved

The closing invitation has time to land

The final headline now enters at a calmer pace while keeping the same immediate, static presentation for users who prefer reduced motion.

Improved

Payment feedback is direct

Invalid payment references and promotion codes show clear feedback beside the field. Payment updates appear in place, with a success confirmation that respects reduced-motion preferences.

Fixed

Extension actions remain inside the dialog

The setup window scrolls when needed and keeps its download button visible on both computers and phones.

Fixed

Mobile navigation appears once

The redundant header menu is removed below desktop width, and six public and legal destinations form an even two-column footer without repeating the Analyzer action.

Improved

Mobile trial reassurance stays with the action

The three trial and evidence assurances now form one centered line immediately below the stacked landing actions.

Improved

Legal, account, History, and Blog stay consistent

Privacy and Terms use open sections with navigation on the left. Membership status uses a simple card, History search clears in place, and Blog links respond consistently to the pointer.

Improved

Account and History status now reads at a glance

Compact cards show account identity, sign-in methods, plan access, saved work, and comparison selection with clear icons, status, and progress.

Improved

Reader has one evidence workspace

The article overview and evidence panel now use matching headings and compact counts, with details that open only when requested.

Improved

Setup and payment follow visible steps

Extension installation, extension updates, plan payment, and manual review now present status first and ask for one action at a time.

Improved

Legal pages scan like the rest of Veritas

Privacy and Terms use tracked section navigation and focused reading surfaces without changing their meaning.

Fixed

One date is one changelog section

All releases published on the same day now share one dated section and one navigation target.

Improved

Profile is split by intent

Profile, Security, and Plan now have separate views, with account status visible before the forms and details.

Improved

Reader makes evidence a clear mode

Reading and Evidence share one compact control, core article metrics stay visible, and highlight instructions wait behind a disclosure.

Improved

History scans before it explains

Report, comparison, and selection totals lead the library while comparison instructions and the final action appear only when useful.

Fixed

Compare Mode has one home

The duplicate avatar-menu switch is removed; One article and Compare two remain beside the Analyzer form where their effect is visible.

Improved

Expert Atlas starts with the graph state

A compact summary and selected-item card replace the crowded controls and long map explanation.

Improved

Expert chains focus on one claim

A claim list and one visible path from the selected claim to its connected items keep the current evidence readable. More connections open when requested.

Improved

Filters and exports wait until requested

Map filters open in one panel, while full screen, shareable links, and downloads stay together in one compact menu.

Fixed

Report tabs keep their place

Summary, Claims, Dimensions, and Full report keep their controls in the same place when switching between views of different heights.

Improved

Dimensions opens without redundant instructions

The dedicated Dimensions view now starts directly with the weighted scoring areas and their evidence.

Daily product release

A simpler way to read, trace and compare reports

Start with a report summary, open the claims or full detail, and follow evidence through Guided or Expert Atlas. Comparisons keep both articles available, and saved reports are easier to revisit when loading needs another attempt.

Improved

One article follows one visible evidence path

Atlas pairs a short claim list with one focused path through the claim, source, and evidence. Full counts and passage locations open when requested.

Improved

Two articles compare in aligned lanes

Comparison Atlas presents one paired claim path at a time, with quick filters for shared, different, and missing evidence connections.

Improved

Report views move without losing context

Summary, Claims, Dimensions, and Full report remain separate from Atlas. A consistent selection marker shows the current view, with brief transitions that respect reduced-motion preferences.

Improved

Dimensions can be read on their own

A dedicated Dimensions view lets users scan weighted areas and open only the evidence they need without entering the complete report.

Improved

One article opens with the answer

Summary leads with the score, four evidence counts, the weighted areas with the most room to improve, and three claims to inspect.

Improved

Claims scan before they expand

Claims appear in priority order with their support status and evidence quality visible. Opening a claim reveals the complete passage, its connection, and its source.

Improved

Full depth stays available

Every existing scoring dimension, Evidence Intelligence explanation, publisher detail, signal, Reader passage, Atlas route, Story, and share action remains available.

Improved

One report action leads

Inspect evidence stays primary while Story, Reader, Evidence Atlas, and sharing remain available inside one compact More menu.

Improved

Deep Scan status is quieter

Completed reports show Deep Scan as a small report detail, and the Analyzer switch no longer repeats an unnecessary Use label.

Improved

Comparison reads at a glance

The score difference, changed claims, source counts, and simple bars replace repeated explanatory paragraphs.

Improved

Claim detail opens only when needed

Paired claim previews stay short by default, while each row expands to the complete evidence, source, quality, and priority detail.

Improved

Full reports remain side by side

The synchronized full-report view and its one-article fallback remain available without competing with the default summary.

Improved

Full reports compare side by side again

The complete Article 1 and Article 2 reports render in synchronized columns by default, with focused single-report views available on narrower screens.

Fixed

Comparison context no longer covers the report

The large workspace introduction scrolls normally while a compact sticky rail keeps article identity and score aligned during detailed review.

Fixed

A failed History section no longer crashes the page

Saved report versions now load from their current evidence record, and one failed section shows a warning instead of closing all of History.

Fixed

Deep Scan status stays readable

A meaningful status icon remains beside its state label, the connection explanation receives its own line, and the action stays aligned at desktop and phone widths.

Improved

Atlas starts with three review tasks

Why the grade, trace a central claim, and find missing evidence now open a concise claim-to-evidence chain. Full graph layouts, filters, sharing, and export stay inside Expert tools.

Improved

Comparison explains the difference first

The workspace opens with the score difference, the areas that mattered most, matched claims, and their sources. Complete reports remain available for closer review.

Improved

Reports separate the grade from article completeness

Coverage describes how much of the article Veritas could analyze, not whether the article is true. The leading reason also opens at its exact Reader passage.

Improved

Analyzer modes and errors are visible in place

One-article and two-article modes sit beside the form, sign-in expectations are clear, invalid fields explain what needs attention, and one failed comparison side can be retried without discarding the successful report.

Fixed

Reader and Atlas use the full phone workspace

Reader evidence labels remain visible, previous and next controls move between passages, Atlas task controls wrap cleanly, and selected-node details stay collapsed until requested.

Improved

Story, History, and mobile reports keep the next action clear

Story shows an always-visible report exit and step context, History explains the exact two-report selection, and mobile reports surface the score before decorative artwork.

Daily product release

More precise claims and fairer evidence credit

Claims keep their meaning, source identities and article context. Repeated evidence, captions and metadata receive more careful treatment, comparisons retain fuller statements, and incomplete captures remain visibly limited.

Fixed

Captions and editor labels are not graded claims

Picture captions, update notes, developing-story notices, and short promotional headlines remain available to inspect without becoming scored claims.

Fixed

Claim clauses remain grammatical

Lists of things and wording that identifies a speaker stay with their sentence. Separate statements remain distinct, and quotations spanning several sentences keep their visible support.

Fixed

Source names keep the correct identity

People keep their titles and full names, clear surname references match consistently, and vague words such as “statement” cannot combine unrelated sources.

Fixed

One picture creates one Atlas item

Resized versions and exact copies of one picture create a single Atlas item. Clearly labeled thumbnails are excluded, and caption credits keep readable spacing.

Improved

Comparison matches the same claim across different levels of detail

Short and detailed versions of the same claim can line up, while changed numbers, units, positive or negative meaning, and direction remain clearly different.

Improved

Comparison downloads avoid repeated data

Each article is saved once in the download, and comparison rows point back to its claims and evidence instead of copying everything again.

Fixed

Details from later stories stay with those stories

Authors, published dates, updated dates, and fact-check details must match the selected article. Recommended or automatically loaded stories cannot add credit to it.

Fixed

Visible fallback evidence stays in the main story

Bylines, dates, and disclosed verification methods are searched within the selected article boundary instead of unrelated cards or surrounding page text.

Fixed

Repeated versions of one official link count once

Tracking codes and page sections no longer make the same government resource look like several sources. Different documents still remain separate.

Fixed

The Google Sign-In announcement reads correctly

The published Blog title now uses the grammatically correct “We Now Support” wording.

Fixed

Blog archive links fit small screens

Long announcement headings and archive links stack cleanly on phones instead of creating horizontal overflow.

Fixed

The same evidence cannot add points more than once

Different links or labels for the same research paper or record now count once, while genuinely different documents remain separate.

Fixed

Evenly split article readings withhold the score

When four methods split evenly over where the article begins and ends, Veritas explains the disagreement instead of reporting high agreement.

Fixed

Headlines and dates stay with the right article

A recommended story cannot replace the selected article’s headline, and published and updated dates can be completed from the page’s available information.

Improved

Picture inspection explains what it can and cannot know

Atlas checks usable image versions and can show size, format, exact-file matches, visual matches, and available file details. Unconfirmed credentials are clearly labeled as unverified.

Fixed

Picture context stays local

A caption can contextualize only an adjacent claim with compatible visible years; distant repeated wording no longer creates a false connection.

Fixed

Claim comparison respects meaning

Percent and percentage points, different units, opposite meaning, changed direction, and different time periods remain distinct even when words and numbers overlap.

Improved

Mobile routes are complete

A compact site menu and the footer now expose the Analyzer and every primary public route on small screens.

Improved

Social preview is lighter

The picture shown when a page is shared now downloads in a smaller file without changing its pixels.

Daily product release

Complete evidence maps and more faithful claim review

Inspect claims with their original meaning and better-linked sources, including research references. Reader changes stay aligned with the report, and incomplete evidence maps withhold the score instead of appearing complete.

Fixed

Headline meaning cannot match on a number alone

Direction, time, and uncertainty now remain part of claim alignment, while equivalent cautious wording stays aligned.

Fixed

Each separate claim needs its own evidence

Different statements in one sentence are separated, and nearby evidence must actually support the same statement.

Improved

Journal papers become inspectable source documents

Paper titles, reference numbers, article links, and nearby method descriptions help identify the cited document. The citation alone does not prove the claim.

New

Pictures can be inspected without changing the score

Atlas can show file matches, visual matches, dimensions, formats, and available details, but does not claim to know the picture’s origin or truth without evidence.

Fixed

Reader edits save as one complete update

Recalculation now saves the report, evidence, revision, and review history together, so the website and extension cannot see a half-finished result.

Improved

Atlas comparison distinguishes origin from independence

Evidence swaps and distinct origins remain visible without claiming independent verification that the article does not establish.

Fixed

One poor article reading cannot overrule clear agreement

When separate methods agree on the article, one reading mixed with unrelated page text no longer forces Veritas to withhold an otherwise usable report.

Improved

Public pages are faster and easier to read

Home no longer waits for account details before appearing, phone text stays readable, and Blog search no longer misses later results.

Improved

Compare actions keep their place

The comparison artwork now sits beside the report heading while sharing and score-difference controls remain aligned with the comparison summary.

Improved

Long-form pages show your current section

Changelog dates and Methodology sections now link directly to their content and bold the section currently in view.

Fixed

Incomplete evidence maps cannot retain a grade

Reports with seriously conflicting article readings, no mapped claims, or too many claims to map completely now withhold the score in every view.

Fixed

Claim details stay attached to the right assertion

Separate statements are recognized even without a dividing comma. Matching dates no longer hide conflicting quantities when comparing the headline with the article.

Improved

Research references are judged more carefully

A vague mention of a study remains visible but receives less credit than a research paper with a title, link, or clear identifier.

Fixed

Different sources stay separate

Different sources named in one passage remain separate, while repeated detections of the same source are combined.

Improved

Deep Scan survives long analysis work

The extension keeps receiving progress during longer analyses, can recover a saved completed report after a connection interruption, and stops clearly if analysis takes too long.

Fixed

Extension Reader contains keyboard focus

Keyboard focus remains inside the open Reader and returns to the prior page control when the Reader closes.

Introducing Evidence Atlas and a more explainable score

Explore claims, sources and supporting passages in Evidence Atlas, with clear evidence gaps and review priorities. The reporting score uses the same evidence map, while comparisons and sharing preserve the context needed to inspect it.

Fixed

Related-story text stays out of the Atlas

Long all-caps headlines and promotional prompts mixed into article text are removed before claims, sources, and evidence are identified. The same rules apply across publishers.

Fixed

One passage stays one evidence item

Repeated detections of the same passage are combined even when the short source label differs, while their details remain available.

Improved

Repeated source names and claim topics are combined safely

Clear surname and shortened organization references connect to the full nearby name, and repeated versions of the same claim topic share one Atlas item.

Fixed

Sentence boundaries stay aligned

Claims, quotations, sources, and passage links use consistent sentence boundaries, so abbreviations such as p.m. no longer split sentences or shift evidence links.

Fixed

Sharing recognizes the correct public report

Share links now open the correct Veritas report while rejecting missing or lookalike website addresses.

Improved

Story shows every part of the score clearly

The score breakdown shows only the areas that affect the grade, rounds values consistently, and keeps long labels from overlapping their numbers.

Fixed

Sharing recovers cleanly when a request is interrupted

Report and comparison sharing now times out clearly and offers retry and copy fallbacks instead of leaving the share action stuck.

Fixed

Claims no longer become their own evidence

Unsupported claims show an explicit Evidence Gap instead of an invented evidence item that merely repeats the claim.

Fixed

Quotes and sources point to one evidence passage

A quote, its speaker, and a document found in the same passage remain visible as different details of that passage. Repeated detection cannot make one source look independent from itself.

Improved

Comparison Atlas includes both articles

Atlas keeps the full evidence map for both articles and shows each matched claim with its passages and sources. Reused sources are marked as repeated rather than independent.

Improved

Evidence quality is explained for each claim

Each claim shows whether its evidence is relevant, direct, close to the original source, open about its method, independent, and easy to inspect. Repeating one source cannot look like confirmation from several sources.

New

Claim framing gets its own score area

Veritas now checks whether the headline matches the article and whether important limits, uncertainty, and context are kept. This does not measure viewpoint or political bias.

Improved

Evidence is balanced with the rest of the grade

Evidence remains important, while framing, language, presentation, authorship, and disclosed checking practices each keep their own role in the final grade.

Fixed

Major evidence gaps now limit the grade

An unsupported headline or central claim now places a real limit on the grade instead of showing only a warning beside a high score.

New

Claim verification stays claim-level

An external check can report support, contradiction, mixed evidence, too little or unclear evidence, an outdated result, a topic outside its supported scope, or a claim it cannot verify. These results stay separate from the reporting-evidence score and do not become a truth percentage.

Improved

Evidence Atlas views are easier to read

Adaptive cards keep complete labels reachable, readable zoom limits preserve type size, and drag or swipe navigation moves through wider lanes. Full-screen Atlas keeps the complete workspace visible, while Map, Evidence chain, Timeline, and List each have a dedicated focus view.

Improved

Priority review becomes preview-first

The full report now previews the leading quote and priority before a View details control. Expanded cards use the same calm visual language as the Evidence snapshot.

Fixed

Story actions share one layout

Reader, Explore connections, and Full report now use matching full-width button dimensions and corner treatment on the final Story page.

New

Veritas Evidence Atlas ships now

Guided and expert modes trace claims, sources, evidence, publisher practices, and verification limits through map, chain, timeline, and accessible list views. Exact details, shareable links, downloadable data, and article comparison remain available.

New

Claim priority now includes possible decision impact

Priority considers how central, important, consequential, and checkable a claim is. Important but hard-to-check claims remain visible without being treated as true.

Improved

Every report view uses one saved evidence record

The cleaned article, claims, people, topics, sources, evidence links, publisher details, verification status, Atlas map, and Reader edits now stay together across reports, History, Compare, sharing, and the extension.

Fixed

Incomplete extraction no longer leaks a grade

Web reports, Story, Compare, the extension popup, and Reader all hide the score and grade when analysis cannot support them, instead of showing an older saved score.

Fixed

Evidence cannot spill across an unrelated clause

Sharing a sentence does not automatically establish support. Separate statements are checked individually, and nearby evidence must concern the same subject.

Fixed

Large evidence maps stay consistent with the score

The score and Atlas use the same set of claims. When a very large article reaches a safety limit, the report says so and keeps at least one evidence connection for every included claim.

Improved

Ownership and funding stay independent

Publisher details keep ownership and funding separate. A funder or “supported by” notice cannot establish ownership, while funding explanations, donor and sponsor information, financial statements, and nonprofit tax records are recognized more consistently.

Improved

Public-policy detection is more precise

Decision Impact distinguishes government rules and policies affecting the public or a specific field from routine internal company policies.

New

Verification limits are stated clearly

Veritas reports when a claim falls outside the supported verification area instead of presenting an unsupported result.

New

Reader keeps a permanent history of accepted edits

Adding, removing, restoring, or adjusting evidence records the old and new value, exact passage, reviewer, rule version, and retention information.

Improved

Public methodology matches EIEa

Methodology and search descriptions explain what the score measures, each area’s weight, claim priority, evidence connections, when a score is withheld, Atlas availability, supporting research, and verification limits.

Daily product release

More precise evidence and transparency checks

Reports identify author and source credit more carefully, distinguish quotations from stronger support, and show clearer context about funding and disclosed reporting practices.

Fixed

Repeated and generic source wording no longer inflates grades

Repeated references to the same source count once toward the score. Broad labels such as analysts, companies, officials, and witnesses remain general evidence rather than named identities.

Improved

Claims connect to evidence at clause level

When a sentence contains separate assertions, evidence attached to one clause no longer makes an unrelated clause appear supported.

Fixed

Quotation forms behave consistently

Straight and curly single-quoted speech now follows the same attribution and Reader rules as double-quoted speech without treating apostrophes as quotations.

Improved

Policy and funding disclosures are more specific

Reports recognize a broader set of structured newsroom policies and funding disclosures while distinguishing explicit corrections and funding routes from general standards or About pages.

Fixed

Deep Scan hints cannot prove themselves

Extra page details only count when they can be confirmed in the separately captured article page.

Fixed

Biography and byline evidence stay aligned

When the article’s author biography identifies its credited person or news organization, the report keeps that identity. Generic staff labels and unrelated text still do not establish authorship.

Daily product release

A fuller Blog and a safer review experience

The Blog gains announcement archives, while reports, Reader privacy, account recovery, Deep Scan, and navigation become safer and easier to use.

New

Dedicated article and announcement archives

The Blog shows one recent row each for guides and announcements. Archive links open the complete searchable libraries, with more results available a page at a time and links users can return to.

New

Official product and company announcements

Blog users can now browse dedicated product, version, and company updates alongside research-backed guides.

Improved

Announcement cards match the reading desk

Official updates now use the same neutral article-card surface as normal guides, without a tinted glow competing with the content.

Improved

Grading evidence stays closer to what the page shows

Article dates, documents, correction links, anonymous sources, and disclosed checking methods require clearer visible evidence. Reader distinguishes details found on the page from conclusions drawn from them.

Improved

Reader is faster and more private by default

Long evidence ranges are processed more efficiently, and remote article images remain hidden until a user explicitly chooses to load them.

Fixed

Account changes require stronger verification

Sensitive password and email changes require users to confirm their identity again through sign-in or verified recovery steps.

Fixed

Deep Scan transfers only the article it needs

Extension 1.13.6 sends the cleaned article for analysis instead of the surrounding webpage.

Improved

Navigation stays centered

Desktop page links remain geometrically centered even when the account controls on the right change width.

Improved

Mobile headers stay focused

Compact headers keep only account and page controls, while one ordered mobile footer keeps About, Methodology, Blog, Changelog, Privacy, and Terms together.

Improved

Remaining access appears with plan choices

Members with an active subscription or trial see their remaining days in the plan dialog, while headers and the landing account menu stay focused on primary actions.

Improved

Public analytics collect less user data

Blog popularity counts views without storing user identity, IP address, or browsing history, and avoids counting repeat views from one browser more than once a day.

Fixed

Extension status updates without refreshing

Installing, updating, enabling, disabling, signing in, signing out, or changing Website Deep Scan listening state now updates an already-open Analyzer automatically.

Fixed

Deep Scan completes more reliably

Longer rendered-page analyses keep their connection active until the report is ready, and an interrupted browser connection can restore the exact completed report without running the analysis twice.

Fixed

More article details appear in reports

Deep Scan now retains the detected headline, byline, publication and update timing, plus visible public accountability links needed to identify and explain more articles accurately.

Improved

Public accountability details are easier to find

Reports identify correction and editorial-policy routes, ownership and funding disclosures, and genuine newsroom contacts more consistently across supported publisher layouts.

New

Remove one phrase or every match

Reader evidence review now lets you remove only the highlighted occurrence or every matching phrase when the same detected wording appears more than once.

Fixed

Blog articles paint correctly in mobile Safari

Article headers, cover images, and long-form sections now use a stable full-width layout from the first frame instead of waiting for a scroll to correct the page.

Daily product release

Safer extension checks, complete History, and clearer navigation

Extension account details stay private, every recent History item remains available, public pages are easier to reach, and Reader edits update reports consistently.

Fixed

Extension account details stay inside the extension

The website learns only whether the extension is signed in and whether the accounts match. The published extension no longer connects to local development pages.

Improved

Complete History in manageable pages

Reports and comparisons load a page at a time, so a large 30-day History stays fast without hiding older items.

Improved

Public pages are easier to reach

The landing page and Analyzer now share the public navigation, including Changelog, while the footer focuses on Privacy and Terms.

Fixed

Reader edits update affected signals consistently

Partial evidence changes now preserve the remaining reviewed material and keep the visible signal explanation aligned with the recalculated grade.

Fixed

Official-record signals reject misleading links

Public-sector evidence now distinguishes authoritative records from misleading or unrelated destinations more reliably.

Fixed

Contractions remain ordinary article text

Language and quotation signals no longer misread ordinary apostrophes in contractions or possessives.

Fixed

Published fact-check details are checked more carefully

Fact-check information must be complete and believable before it appears in a report.

Fixed

Response-handling signals are more relevant

Reports now connect visible response evidence to the dispute it addresses instead of overstating generic response language.

Fixed

Deep Scan evidence stays grounded in the page

Deep Scan reports use evidence that can be verified against the analyzed article rather than unsupported extraction hints.

Improved

Report evidence is easier to operate

Critical evidence labels use larger type and interactive review controls meet a more reliable touch-target size.

Daily product release

Clearer evidence, safer reviews, and smoother pages

Evidence connections are more accurate, edits from one tab cannot overwrite newer work from another, and public pages feel smoother without distracting from reports.

Fixed

Claims connect to evidence more accurately

Reports are more precise about whether visible evidence supports the statement it accompanies.

Fixed

Quotations identify their speaker more clearly

Reports more reliably distinguish quotations linked to a speaker from quoted text with no clear speaker.

Fixed

Reader edits cannot overwrite another tab

Evidence reviews carry a revision and update timestamp, so a stale tab stops with a clear refresh message instead of silently replacing newer annotations.

Improved

A calmer sense of depth while scrolling

Each major route gives one meaningful illustration a restrained scroll-linked lift and tilt, with a static reduced-motion experience and no moving controls or reading text.

Improved

Faster public pages and blog browsing

Public pages reuse recent plan details, Blog lists load without downloading every full article, complete libraries load a page at a time, and pictures fit the screen’s needs.

Fixed

Redirected Deep Scans stay on public articles

Extension 1.13.0 checks each destination, including redirected pages, before analysis. Account-session and report details are no longer written to diagnostic logs.

Improved

Public routes are easier to explore

Desktop and mobile navigation now expose the Analyzer, Methodology, Blog, and About routes while preserving the focused workspace.

Daily product release

Clearer sign-in recovery

Login failures now remain visible on the page with safe next steps for users returning to their accounts.

Fixed

Login failures always explain what to do next

An invalid email or password now produces both a persistent inline alert and a notification, with safe guidance for accounts that were combined with Google.

Daily product release

A new Blog, safer account recovery, and safer Deep Scan

Veritas adds practical evidence guides, restores optional Google sign-in with password recovery, and checks Deep Scan destinations more carefully.

Fixed

Reliable Google account linking

Connecting a Google identity now completes more reliably without interrupting the account experience.

Improved

A more visual reading desk

The Blog now uses the shared editorial page treatment for a calmer, more consistent reading experience.

Fixed

Accountability signals reflect applicable evidence

The accountability dimension now presents only relevant visible signals and clearer response-handling evidence.

Fixed

Safer Deep Scan targets

Extension 1.12.3 checks an article address before opening it and rejects private-network or unverifiable destinations.

Daily product release

Cleaner reports without losing any evidence

Full reports, comparisons, Story, and the extension now share a calmer design while keeping every score, rule, highlight, and Reader action.

Improved

A clearer full-report reading order

Single reports in the analyzer, History, and shared links now lead from report identity to score, review priorities, dimensions, and supporting signals with fewer nested boxes.

Improved

Complete comparisons with less visual pressure

Compare Mode keeps both full reports, Stories, Reader views, evidence, and recalculation controls, with a consistent layout and clearer division between articles.

Improved

A more balanced six-step Story

Each Story step now uses purposeful evidence artwork when space allows, and the conclusion keeps score, grade, confidence, and actions aligned on desktop and mobile.

Improved

More descriptive product illustrations

Reader, speed, methodology, report, and comparison artwork now shows the product idea it supports instead of relying on generic symbols.

Improved

One icon language across web and extension

Controls now use a matching set of icons with consistent weight, shape, and meaning.

Daily product release

More accurate evidence and cleaner pages

The Analyzer, reports, Story, and public pages are easier to use, with more accurate checks for sources and public transparency information.

Fixed

Source-diversity signals distinguish publisher material

Improved

Wider, uninterrupted single-article reports

For a single URL, each scoring dimension now expands to its full height with no fixed-height scrollbox, so evidence reads in one continuous flow.

Improved

Clearer analysis progress

The analyzer now shows the read, inspect, and apply steps advancing instead of appearing to stall on the first step.

Improved

More reliable transparency signals

Corrections, ownership, and contact information are represented more consistently across supported article pages.

Fixed

One action per detected passage

Selecting a passage that was detected as more than one evidence type now shows a single, correct Remove detected action.

Improved

A more coherent set of pages

The landing hero fits mobile in one view, About and Methodology steps swipe horizontally on phones, and every public page shares the same floating-artwork header, spacing, and Deep Scan status colors.

Improved

A calmer results Story

The post-analysis Story now uses the same warm, flat editorial surfaces as the rest of the product while keeping its steps, animations, and single-screen fit.

Improved

Claims connect to relevant evidence more precisely

Reports connect factual statements with relevant visible support more consistently.

Fixed

Article evidence is separated from surrounding page links

Reports more clearly distinguish evidence inside the article from unrelated navigation or publisher-page material.

Improved

Cleaner article pictures and authors

Deep Scan and the extension more reliably exclude profile pictures, related-story media, and later articles that appear while scrolling.

Daily product release

Safer evidence edits and clearer reports

Evidence edits remain dependable after analysis updates, while reports, pictures, mobile controls, and extension update checks are easier to use.

New

Evidence-edit history stays clear after analysis updates

Earlier evidence edits are checked again when analysis rules change. Decisions that no longer match remain visible but cannot affect the current score.
