One story. Every angle it was told from.
How it works
One story,
six instruments.
Every sentence gets sorted into what it actually is: a checkable claim, an honest opinion, loaded rhetoric, or filler. Then the whole piece gets measured.
The sample below is hand composed to show the idea. Pick any sentence to see why it got its color. Paste a real link and Prism runs it live.

Council approves $2.1 billion harbor rail extension
citydesk.example, metro desk
The city council approved the harbor rail extension on Tuesday by a vote of 9–3. The decision caps a debate that began with the corridor study three years ago. The project adds four stations along the eastern waterfront. Planning documents put the cost at $2.1 billion over nine years. It is the boldest bet this city has made on transit in a generation. Anyone who has watched city hall knows exactly how this story ends. The line could reshape how the east side commutes. A betrayal of every taxpayer, wrapped in a ribbon. Service on the first segment is scheduled to begin in 2031.
BS. Insinuates failure while saying nothing checkable.

“The city council approved the harbor rail extension on Tuesday by a vote of 9–3.”
Council minutes and two local reports corroborate the vote and the margin.
The pipeline
From one link to one report.
Prism reads the story and sorts every sentence first. Then you choose what to check: who published it, whether its claims hold up, and what it left out. Each check is one click, and your picks become one printable report. Select a step to see what it does.
What goes in?
An article URL, a YouTube link, or text pasted straight in. Refracting needs a Google sign-in.
What exactly am I reading?
Prism fetches the article, or pulls the video transcript, strips the clutter, and puts the readable text beside your source. If a page hides its article, it falls back through the page's own structured data before giving up.
How much is fact, take, or noise?
Two passes read the same text and never see each other's answer. One sorts every sentence into claim, opinion, rhetoric or filler, leaving anything it cannot place out of the percentages. The other lifts out the checkable assertions as claims that stand alone.
Who is telling me this?
Ownership, funding, political lean and reliability for the outlet. A profile of the byline. Registry forensics on the domain. Every finding cites a source.
On demandLink only
Do the claims hold up?
Each claim becomes a set of verification questions, answered from published fact-checks and the pages Prism retrieves, quoting the passage that settles each. A verdict must rest on those receipts from independent outlets, or it stays unresolved.
On demand
Was it the full story?
Prism breaks other outlets' coverage into single facts before it sees your article, then tests the article against them. A gap is a fact the reporting carries and this piece does not.
On demand
Can I keep the receipts?
Pick the findings that make the cut. Prism compiles them into one printable document, citations intact, nothing uploaded.
Steps 03, 04 and 05 search the live web, so each runs only when you click it. Nothing is checked behind your back. Step 06 is put together in your browser and saved as a PDF.

Manifesto
A lens,
not a referee.
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.
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.
Step 03, Provenance
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.
Step 04, Fact Check
The whole story
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.
