Clarity at the claim level

Searchlighter builds AI-powered claim intelligence for organizations that need to understand not just what is being said — but what is actually being claimed, how those claims differ across sources, and where risk emerges.

Today’s media and content monitoring tools operate at the level of documents, keywords, and sentiment. But real risk, disagreement, and narrative shifts live at the claim level.

Searchlighter v2.0 was created to fill that gap.

What We Do

Searchlighter v2.0 is a claim-level analysis engine designed for media intelligence and reputation risk teams.

Our technology:

• Breaks articles and documents into atomic claims
  
• Compares claims across multiple sources
  
• Flags fallacies, contradictions, unsupported assertions, and narrative drift over time
  
• Surfaces only what requires human attention
  

The result is faster, more defensible insight — without requiring analysts to read everything.

Why we built it

Searchlighter began as an educational initiative focused on critical thinking, logical fallacies, and how narratives shape belief.

Through years of research, content creation, and interviews with journalists, academics, and analysts, one insight became clear:

The biggest failure in today’s information systems is not access — it’s structure.

Information is abundant, but claims are buried, mixed, repeated, reframed, and contradicted without visibility.

Searchlighter v2.0 applies that research to a practical problem:
helping organizations understand claims at scale, objectively and explainably.

Who it’s for

Searchlighter is built for:

• Media intelligence and monitoring firms
  
• Reputation and risk analysis teams
  
• Research and policy organizations
  
• Enterprise teams navigating high-risk information environments
  

We are not a consumer social network, and we do not publish editorial verdicts.
Searchlighter provides infrastructure, not opinions.

Our approach

We believe effective intelligence tools should be:

• Explainable — outputs can be inspected and reasoned about
  
• Comparative — claims must be evaluated across sources, not in isolation
  
• Analyst-first — augment human judgment rather than replace it
  

Searchlighter is designed to integrate into existing workflows and scale with organizational needs.

Looking ahead

Searchlighter v2.0 is the foundation.

As claim-level intelligence becomes essential across industries — from media to AI governance — our engine is designed to expand into new use cases while remaining focused on clarity, rigor, and defensibility.

About the team

Searchlighter is founded by technologists and researchers with backgrounds in software engineering, AI systems, media analysis, and critical thinking education.

We combine hands-on engineering with deep research into how claims, narratives, and reasoning shape decision-making in complex information environments.
