Who said it?
Check whether the claim comes from a company, a regulator, a court filing or only from an anonymous account on social media.
How many outlets have it?
A story reported by several independent outlets is stronger than one that only one site has. We show the count on every story.
Is there a number, and what is it compared to?
“Up 20%” means little without the period and the starting point. A coin that fell 60% and rose 20% is still well below where it began.
Is it a fact or a forecast?
Price predictions, “analysts say” and “could reach” are opinions. Look for what has already happened.
Who gains if you believe it?
Projects, exchanges and promoters often publish upbeat news. Ask who benefits.
Is it new?
Old news is often shared again as if it just happened. Check the date on the story and the sources.
What would change the picture?
Good reporting names what is still unknown, such as an investigation that has not finished or a ruling that can be appealed.
