Understand an article
See the important claims, their visible sources, and the gaps in their support.
Article AnalyzerFirst launched September 2025
We wanted to see the reasoning.
When we launched Veritas Shield in September 2025, we had not seen another product doing what we set out to do: connect an article’s claims, its evidence, an explainable reporting score, and the original passages in one place. That was the idea we began building around.
EIEa, the Evidence Intelligence Engine for article, applies fixed scoring rules to the reporting evidence it can extract. Reader brings you back to the words. Evidence Atlas lets you explore the relationships. You can inspect the reasoning and decide what needs further investigation.
EIEv, the Evidence Intelligence Engine for video, keeps captured speech and on-screen text tied to their moments. Inspect the transcript, source trails and outside-evidence checks together, with extraction limits visible. Its assessments answer different questions from the article reporting score.
Three reasons to make it part of your research.
- 01
A score you can examine
Follow the reporting grade to visible evidence and published methods. The same scoring rules apply across publishers.
- 02
A moment you can return to
Keep numbers, speakers, dates and qualifications in view. Open an article passage or a video transcript in Reader, then explore its connections in Atlas.
- 03
A record you can build on
Investigate an exact claim, capture outside sources and preserve your review. Insufficient evidence remains an unanswered question.
Know what the answer means
A score needs a clear question.
A well-sourced claim can still be wrong. An important event can be poorly reported. Veritas keeps those questions visible.
- Reporting evidenceHow does this article support its claims?
- A consistent, rule-based score with passages you can inspect. Publisher reputation does not supply scoring credit.
- Video evidenceWhat can the captured words and moments establish?
- Inspect source trails and evidence relationships, with capture quality shown separately. Sampled text does not prove footage authenticity or a claim’s truth.
- External claim checkWhat does outside evidence establish?
- One exact claim, captured sources, and a reviewable conclusion. When the evidence is insufficient, the result stays unresolved.
- News priorityWhat deserves a closer look?
- Source-reported impact and your chosen topics help organize coverage. Reading priority is not a truth rating.
Compare the work you can do
When is Veritas Shield the better fit?
When you need to explain your assessment of a specific article and return to the evidence behind it. Other tools bring useful strengths; here is where our approach helps.

Based on the linked public product descriptions, checked September 6, 2026. This compares workflows, not measured accuracy. Features may change, and a capability omitted here should not be read as unavailable. NewsGuard’s entry covers Website Ratings; Clearview’s covers the political-bias browser extension.

Inspect a video
Read captured speech and on-screen text, seek to a claim, and inspect its source trails and outside evidence.
Video AnalyzerFollow what matters
Choose news topics and inspect source-reported impact alongside each article’s reporting evidence.
BriefingWork through a PDF
Find a passage, inspect its original page, and check one exact statement.
PDF ExplorerInvestigate a social post
Preserve the original wording and follow a claim to outside sources.
Social PostStill building
The method keeps improving.
We continue improving how Veritas Shield captures articles and videos, connects evidence and supports research across news, PDFs and social posts. We publish changes and explain the method’s limits. AI assists with captured context and research; it does not choose the scoring rules. Video analysis includes AI assistance. Its interpretations remain reviewable, and no reporting or video score certifies that every claim is true.
