How it works
One story,
five instruments.
Paste a single article. Prism runs it through five readings — each answering one question you should be able to ask of any news story.
The Workspace
What exactly am I reading?
Paste a link or the raw text. Prism fetches the article, strips the clutter, and lays the readable text beside your source — so you can see exactly what's being analyzed, correct it, and re-run.
The Spectrum
How much is fact, take, or noise?
Every sentence is classified — checkable claim, honest opinion, loaded rhetoric, or neutral connective tissue — into a color-coded transcript with the reasoning behind every line, plus a composition readout of the whole piece.
Provenance
Who's telling me this?
Prism researches the outlet — ownership, funding, political lean, reliability record — profiles the byline, and runs registry forensics on the domain itself: where it's registered, where it's hosted, how old it is. Every finding cites its source.

Fact Check
Do the claims hold up?
Opinions can't be verified; claims can. Each checkable claim is searched against the live web, weighed only against the sources found, and returned with a verdict, a confidence read, and citations you can follow.

The Full Picture
Was it the full story?
Prism finds how other outlets reported the same event and shows what this article covered, softened, or left out — and how its framing differs from everyone else's.
On demand
03–05 run live web searches, so they run on demand — one click each. Nothing is checked behind your back.
The project
News,
refracted.
Most news reaches you already filtered — one outlet, one framing, one angle. Prism is a transparency lens: it takes a single story and splits it into the full spectrum of how it's being told, so the bias and the sourcing are things you can see rather than guess at.
Prism doesn't tell you what to think. Every verdict is cited, every color is explained, and the receipts are one click away — it's a lens, not a referee.
Every angle
The same event reads differently at every outlet. Prism checks a story against how everyone else reported it — what was covered, what was softened, what was left out entirely.
Receipts, not rulings
Claims are checked against live sources with the citations attached. Prism shows you the evidence and how strong it looks — the judgment stays yours.
Bias in the open
Who owns the outlet, who funds it, how it leans, and how it frames — labelled where you can see them, and cited so you can check them.
