AI reality check
Aggregate AI feasibility of each party's tracked pledges, penalised for opacity: parties that have only revealed a sliver of their manifesto take points off — hidden plans can't be checked.
Updated daily
Every new promise from PL, PN and ADPD is scored by AI for fiscal, legal and delivery feasibility — refreshed each day through polling.
Increasing a universal grant for senior citizens, a large demographic, by €200 will have a substantial recurrent cost, impacting the national budget significantly.

It primarily involves changes to governance structures and funding mechanisms rather than extensive fiscal commitment.

Its effectiveness would depend on subsequent enforcement and funding, but the act itself is deliverable.

The AI process
Our AI pipeline ingests speeches, press releases, parliamentary records and recorded media and isolates specific, verifiable factual statements. Opinions, predictions and rhetorical flourishes are filtered out.
The model cross-references each statement against primary sources where available — official datasets, legislative records and original documents — supplemented by reliable secondary reporting. Every source it relies on is published on the claim page.
The AI assigns a verdict strictly against the weight of cited evidence and writes a plain-language explanation. Ratings are updated openly when new evidence emerges. AI can make mistakes — readers can challenge any rating via the corrections page.
Credibility scale
Public claims rarely fit a binary true/false. Our six-level scale gives credit for partial truths and flags missing context, while reserving the strongest labels for the strongest evidence.
The claim is fully supported by credible primary evidence with no material omissions.
Broadly supported by evidence but contains minor caveats or missing detail.
Factually correct in isolation but omits context that materially changes the meaning.
Selectively combines or frames facts in a way that leads readers to a false conclusion.
We could not locate credible evidence to substantiate the claim at the time of publication.
Directly contradicted by primary sources and reliable documentation.
