Welcome to Clad

Clad is a fact-checking notebook. Each day, we take a handful of headlines from the public record, run them past Grok with a prompt that demands primary sources, and publish what we found — verdicts, evidence, and the limits of what could be confirmed.

We are not neutral about facts. We are neutral about who’s saying them. Verdicts here key off documents, statutes, primary data, and named sources. Where the evidence is genuinely mixed, we say so.

The same engine drives the Clad iOS app, which fact-checks live debates on your couch. The site and the app share a verdict vocabulary so a “Mostly False” here means what it means there.
