The Arc-Hives Index analyzes factual claims in news reporting and tracks whether they can actually be confirmed against primary source documentation.
We don't verify a claim by counting how many outlets reported it. We look for the document, transcript, or official record that would confirm it. If that evidence doesn't exist, the claim stays unverified.
Every analysis shows you exactly what sources were consulted, what evidence was found, and why the verdict was reached. You can follow the reasoning yourself.
Claims are stored permanently. If new evidence surfaces, a new analysis is added — the old one stays. You can see how a story's factual record has evolved over time.
| Score Range | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | Claims are usually verifiable with primary or official evidence. |
| 60–79 | Claims are often verifiable, but some lack sufficient confirmation. |
| 40–59 | Claims frequently rely on weak or non-confirmatory evidence. |
| Below 40 | Claims are often contradicted by official records or remain consistently unverifiable. |
Most systems ask: “Has anyone else reported this?”
Arc-Hives asks: “What must be true for this claim to hold — and is that confirmed?”
A claim can be repeated across dozens of outlets and still have no primary source backing it. “Unverifiable” doesn't mean false — it means the evidence required to confirm it doesn't exist in the record yet.

The Arc-Hives Index evaluates claims, not people or institutions. Results are evidence-based, time-bound, and may change as new primary documentation becomes available.
