Full Fact provides tools to make fact-checking easier, including Live, a live fact-checking tool that identifies claims in real-time and provides short verdicts. Trends is a monitoring tool that allows fact-checkers to see who is repeating inaccurate information. Full Fact aims to build open systems that the fact-checking community can build upon, following principles like open roadmaps, standards, and prioritizing public benefit over profit.

16. Six Principles
That we have in mind as we build this system.
★ Open roadmaps
★ Open standards ★ Shared systems
★ Open evaluation
★ Think globalsize
★ For public benefit
Builders: 3 principles ot build, open x 3, we want to build in the most sustainable way for the community
Consumers: Our goal is to provide tools that are helpful around the world. If you think this tech could be useful to you, let us know.
What we’re not going to do is not waste anyones time with tools that aren’t useful,
We won’t be making anything public till we know it meets and exceeds public expectation
We are aware of the complexity
but we will be openly evaluating these tools, so when they’re ready we will be reaching out.
