About the project
Claim by Claim
An evidence-first publication for people who would rather inspect the argument than inherit the conclusion.
Mission
Make extraordinary claims testable.
Claim by Claim examines viral claims, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and misinformation by separating the proposition from the surrounding narrative and following the strongest available evidence.
We do not exist to defend an official version of events. Governments can be wrong. Companies can mislead. Researchers can make mistakes. Scientific consensus can change. Influencers can occasionally be right.
The standard is the same for everyone: what does the evidence support?
Why claim by claim?
Narratives are bundles. Evidence is specific.
A single viral video can mix an accurate observation, a misleading statistic, a false causal inference and an unfalsifiable conspiracy explanation. Treating the entire package as simply true or false hides the interesting part.
We split those bundles into testable claims, examine the mechanism, trace the sources and connect the argument to recurring reasoning patterns.
Editorial promise
Don't take our word for it. Follow the evidence.
Our citations, methods, corrections and standards are designed so the reader can inspect the path from claim to conclusion.
