Provenance, not truth scores.
Every day, claims travel further and faster than the sources behind them. A statistic gets quoted, re-quoted, screenshotted, and stripped of its origin until no one remembers where it actually came from. ClaimTrail exists to put the source back in the picture.
We don't have a shortage of information — we have a shortage of traceability. When you read a claim online, the hardest question is often the simplest one: where did this come from, and how do I know? Tracing it by hand means opening a dozen tabs, chasing citations, and hoping you land on the original. Most people don't have time, so claims get accepted or dismissed on vibes instead of evidence.
Highlight a claim on any page and ClaimTrail reconstructs its trail — the likely original source, when it first appeared, how it spread, and which sources support or complicate it. Then it helps you keep that work: clip evidence into organized case files, add your own analysis, capture images and charts, and export clean citations.
Plenty of tools try to slap a "true / false" label on information. We think that's the wrong job for software. Truth is contested, contextual, and — importantly — yours to judge. What software can do well is show you the trail: how clearly a claim connects to its sources, so you can make an informed call yourself.
We don't tell you what to believe. We show you where it came from, and let you decide.
To keep that honest, ClaimTrail never lets the AI invent a source: every link it shows is checked against real search results, so you're always looking at sources that actually exist.
Do real source work, not just copy-paste. Build a defensible trail of evidence and cite it properly.
Set assignments with source requirements and watch each student's research take shape — the sources they find, the analysis they write, and when they did the work.
Trace a claim to its origin in seconds instead of an afternoon of open tabs.
Source literacy — the habit of asking "where did this come from?" — is one of the most important skills for navigating modern information, and one of the least supported by the tools we use every day. ClaimTrail is a small bet that if you make tracing a claim as easy as highlighting it, more people will do it. That's the whole mission: make provenance effortless, so good judgment gets easier.
