Methodology

Transparency, without theatrics.

Claim classification, evidence hierarchy, timeline context, Evidence Alignment™, Vefy Trust Index™, corrections, appeals, human review, revision history, and response rights stay visible on every Vefy Report. Evidence Alignment™ compares public interpretation against the underlying primary evidence when Vefy can retrieve it, then shows where a story stays aligned, where context goes missing, and where interpretation extends beyond the source. Vefy Trust Index™ measures how much weight the report's public evidence deserves right now, not whether an underlying claim is objectively true or false. Each factor is scored on a 0 to 100 scale, multiplied by a visible weight, averaged into a base score, then adjusted only when thin sourcing or unresolved gaps require caution. For public-company reports, Vefy can also activate a specialized evidence workflow that prioritizes SEC and OTC disclosures, court records, official company materials, and regulator sources ahead of commentary. For governance, protected-entity review, and conflict policies, see the Trust Center.

Trust Index™ 2.0 measures evidentiary weight, not objective truth. The model stays legible so users can understand what raised the score, what held it back, and what evidence is still missing.

Evidence hierarchy

Source weight stays explicit.

Legal design

Fact, opinion, evidence, analysis, unknown.
