Rhetoric Audit is a forensic media evaluation platform that goes beyond fact-checking. Rather than verifying individual claims, it deconstructs the rhetorical architecture of any article — exposing how a piece of writing is framed, what emotions it engineers, what logic it employs or abuses, and what it deliberately leaves out.

Who it’s for
Researchers & Academics
Pre-code articles for ideological framing, logical consistency, and epistemic humility at scale. Rhetoric Audit saves hundreds of hours in literature reviews by handling classification automatically.
Journalists & Fact-Checkers
Facts can be true while the narrative remains manipulative. Rhetoric Audit exposes framing, emotional loading, source reliability, and strategic silence so you can report with full context.
Policy Analysts
Measure how policy topics are being shaped in media before they reach public opinion. Volatility correlation and philosophical framing reveal the ideological vectors at play in any coverage.
Critical Readers
Every article is an argument. Use the same forensic tools that PhD researchers use — in your browser — to understand not just what an article says, but how it’s trying to make you think.
Key capabilities
15 diagnostic parameters
Every analysis runs through the Forensic Media Evaluation (FME) framework, which scores articles across 15 independent dimensions. These include:- Manipulation Risk Score — 0–100% probability of deliberate propaganda tactics
- Bias Spectrum — a precision gradient from Far Left to Far Right
- Fallacy Density Index — frequency and severity of logical errors across 24 fallacy types
- Emotional Resonance Triad — Fear, Hope, and Urgency scored independently
- Strategic Silence — what critical counter-context was deliberately omitted
- PhD Analytical Deduction — a forensic synthesis of the complete rhetorical strategy
