Who built Veridi

Our core team is Jo McBurnie (direction and strategy) and Shawn McBurnie (implementation). We gratefully acknowledge community members who have provided insight and test data.

How it was built

Veridi was developed through an iterative process of methodology design, comprehensive audit, and structured remediation. The current version (v2.2) reflects twelve rounds of remediation addressing over ninety findings from an independent audit of the methodology’s internal consistency, completeness, and resilience to adversarial attack.

The methodology was then validated against 97 claims spanning eight subject domains, nine verdict categories, and eleven disinformation attack vectors. The validation process, results, and their limitations are documented in the validation report.

Advisory and review

We welcome external review of the methodology. The full set of methodology files is available for inspection, and we actively seek feedback from fact-checking professionals, researchers, and anyone with relevant expertise.

If you have a claim you believe Veridi will handle incorrectly, we want to hear about it. Testing against claims designed to break the methodology is how it gets stronger.
