Every political conversation is shaped by a narrative. Who tells it. How it spreads. What gets left out. The narrative decides what people believe before they ever see the facts.
Nobody is tracking this systematically. Until now.
"64% Say Social Media Has Negative Effect on Country"

Search. Track. Analyze.
We find political figures and topics. We track the factual claims they make across platforms. Then we analyze the narratives those claims construct — who benefits, what's distorted, what's missing.
Powered by Polygraph.
Our analysis engine, built on polygraphs.xyz, processes claims at scale and maps them to the broader narratives they serve. No opinion. No bias. Just structure.
Organized into Indexes.
We group our tracking into focused collections — each one a lens on a different center of political power. Transparent. Systematic. Accountable.
