    How a claim gets verified

    1. Claim identified

      From government, community or media sources, or a public submission.

    2. Evidence collected

      Site visits, official records, data requests and interviews.

    3. Independent review

      A second reviewer checks the findings before any classification.

    4. Classified and published

      Verified, misleading, false, unverified, or under investigation.

    5. Right of reply

      The institution concerned may respond before or after publication.

    What the Centre does

    • Verifies claims using documented, checkable evidence
    • Reports genuine government achievements accurately
    • Documents implementation delays and gaps objectively
    • Gives the institution concerned a right of reply
    • Publishes its methodology and corrects its own errors

    What the Centre is not

    • A government communication agency
    • A political advocacy organisation
    • A way to label criticism “misinformation” for being critical
    • A publisher of false verdicts without adequate evidence
    • Directed editorially by any funder or institution
