How a claim becomes a receipt.
LIVE SEARCH · SOURCE PRIMACY
VERDICT RULES · PERMANENT RECORD
Search wide. Weigh hard.
Print what survives.
Mebro checks the current record, preserves uncertainty, and makes the sources travel with the verdict. A fixed rubric tells the LLM how those rules must be applied.
ATTACHED ✓
Paste or upload
A single claim goes straight to checking. Long text, a URL, an image, or a video is split into individual factual claims first.
ONE CLAIM OR UP TO 20 PER BATCH
Isolate the claims
AI claim extraction identifies checkable statements, removes attribution clutter, and prioritizes the claims that carry the argument.
AI CLAIM EXTRACTION
OPTIONAL IMAGE FORENSICS ↗
When enabled for an image, a separate AI review looks for signs of synthetic or manipulated media. It does not replace the ordinary claim-extraction pass.
Search the live record
An exhaustive live-web search starts with focused queries and targets ten unique domains. Thin results trigger broader research and official-source rounds; an empty search falls through to backup retrieval.
EXHAUSTIVE WEB SEARCH · TARGET 10 UNIQUE DOMAINS
SEARCH EXPANSION
The first tier that returns usable evidence wins. Search results provide titles, links, and evidence excerpts—not a claim that Mebro read every full document.
Weed and rank
Duplicate domains and social posts are removed. Fact-checkers, government records, academic work, wires, and major news rise above the low-quality tail.
SOURCE QUALITY + PRIMACY · UP TO 12 CANDIDATES
Apply the verdict rules
An LLM weighs the strongest evidence against an eight-point rubric. Missing proof means UNVERIFIED—not FALSE without contradictory evidence.
FALSE REQUIRES CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE
NO SUPPORT ≠ FALSE
FALSE REQUIRES POSITIVE CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE
OPTIONAL DEEP PASS · SUBPOENA MODE
Unsettled? Run it harder.
UNVERIFIED or low-confidence checks can rerun retrieval and ranking with a deeper AI review before the final receipt is settled.
Check the spin
For a multi-claim post, a second pass checks false cause, cherry-picking, missing context, loaded language, and other framing tricks.
SOLID → PROPAGANDA
Print the receipt
The verdict, confidence, explanation, and numbered sources become a permanent public page with a QR code and share card.
A LINK SOMEONE ELSE CAN AUDIT
The honest limitation
Mebro removes broken citation numbers and, when Google grounding is used, maps citations to retrieved chunks. The standard web-search route does not independently prove that every in-range citation supports every sentence. The receipt exposes the candidates so a reader can inspect the record instead of being asked to trust the LLM.
