Verdict · for campuses and classes

Your students already check the feed. Now the campus can see what it is being told.

Verdict gives every student a fact-check in seconds. It gives the campus a live picture: which claims are circulating, what the evidence said, and how often. Counts and claims, never names.

The panel

One page that tells a campus what it is arguing about.

Organizers open it in a browser. Students see the same numbers in the app. It is built from claims and counts, so there is nothing on it to protect.

What an organizer holds

The switches stay on your side of the table.

The first organizer of a campus is named by Verum. Everything after that is theirs: who joins them, what students see, and when the campus is quiet. Every action is logged for the campus, newest first.

  1. Pause the campus.

    Nothing is collected or shown until you resume. One switch, for the week of an exam or the day something goes wrong.

  2. Decide who sees the feed.

    Students see the list of claims, or only the counts while the feed stays with organizers.

  3. Set the thresholds.

    A claim appears once this many different people have checked it. A program opens once this many have joined. The floors are yours.

  4. Name the programs.

    Journalism, Pre-med, Political Science: each becomes its own group that students pick in the app. A program never opens below its floor.

  5. Pin a claim, with a note.

    Put one claim at the top of every student’s campus tab, with the sentence you want under it. “We take this one apart on Thursday.”

  6. Hide a claim. Restore it.

    Something that should not be on a campus feed comes off in one click, and the log remembers that it did.

  7. Add a co-organizer.

    Any address on your domain. Step down when your term ends. Verum seeds the first name; the rest is yours.

  8. Take the data with you.

    CSV or JSON: claims, rulings, counts, sources and the daily series. Aggregate by construction: no person is in the file.

What students get

Nothing new to learn.

  1. Share the post.

    An Instagram post, a TikTok, a screenshot, or a sentence typed in. The ruling comes back in seconds, with the sources drawn as a trail off the claim.

  2. See the campus.

    A Community tab shows what the campus is checking this week, what held up, and the claim an organizer pinned for class.

  3. Count for something.

    The first person to check a claim is the reason the next fifty get an instant answer. The app shows that impact to them, and only to them.

Counts and claims, never names

There is no roster, because there is no per-student record.

The campus is the verified email domain. A student signs in and is on it; nobody uploads a list. When a claim is checked, Verdict records that it was checked on this campus, never by whom. There is no per-student record to request, export, or leak, because it was never collected at that grain. A student’s own history stays on their own phone.

Small groups cannot point at a person. A claim appears on the campus feed only once several different people have checked it, and a program opens only once enough people have joined. Both floors are set by the organizer and never go below the minimum.

How a pilot starts

One email. One domain. This term.

Pilots this fall are free: one campus or one course, the panel, and the app for every student. In exchange we ask for one honest conversation at the end about what worked and what did not, and permission to say the pilot happened. After it, a per-seat licence billed to the department, agreed with you before anything renews. Nothing converts to paid on its own.

  1. You name the domain.

    Tell us the university domain and who organizes. We list it; that is the whole setup. No roster, no single-sign-on project, nothing for IT to install.

  2. Students sign in with their university email.

    Anyone with a verified address is on the campus the moment they sign in. A class is optional: seats for one course, with a feed of its own.

  3. The organizer opens the panel.

    From the first check the page fills in. Pause it, hide a claim, pin one for Thursday, export the term when it ends.
