MAP Verified™
Check a URL
Submit a publicly accessible article, press release, or supported media URL to build a MAP Context Record of its observable information environment — where it came from, who's attributed, how detailed it is, and how it's framed.
Records created here are written to the MAP ledger and can appear publicly in the Verification Archive and the public API. Do not submit a URL you want to keep private.
Each MAP record is written to MAP’s append-oriented ledger. Hashed entries are chained; about 27% of older entries have no hash, and continuity is MAP’s own daily report. Corrections create additional entries; the original is kept. The ledger does not yet link a correction to the entry it corrects.
How it works
01
Submit a URL
Enter any publicly accessible news article, media content, or press release URL in the field above.
02
MAP builds the context record
MAP documents the observable information environment across seven dimensions — Origin, Attribution, Specificity, Timing, Framing, Context Change, and Information Relationships.
03
Read the context record
You receive a written record — not a score or a verdict — with an entry on the MAP Verification Ledger.
What a context record documents
Seven dimensions of the observable information environment — documented, not judged.
MAP does not determine whether something is true, false, biased, or trustworthy. That judgment is left to you. MAP gives you the evidence environment before judgment.
