Fact-check the claims in a document
Asking a document questions tells you what it says. Fact-checking asks whether it is right. Docamend can pull the checkable claims out of a document, such as figures, dates and who said what, and compare each one with outside web sources.
Who it's for: Editors, students, researchers and anyone reviewing a report, article or proposal before relying on it.
Two ways to check
Check one claim or answer
Split an answer into separate claims and verify the ones that matter, or check a statement against the web. Each verdict shows the sources it used.
Audit a document
Scan the whole document, or a page range, for checkable claims and verify them in one run. You get a verdict and evidence for every claim it checks.
What a good claim to check looks like
- A number: "Revenue grew 18% in 2024."
- A date or sequence of events.
- An attribution: "According to the WHO..."
- A specific factual statement about a law, product or organisation.
Reading the verdicts
Each verdict links the sources it found, so you can judge them yourself. Treat a verdict as a starting point: a missing source can mean the claim is new or niche rather than false, and a source can itself be wrong.
Limits to know
- Fact-checking uses web search, so it can only confirm what public sources say.
- An Audit covers a limited number of pages per run; choose the pages that matter.
- Opinions, predictions and claims about private information cannot be verified this way.
Questions
Is fact-checking the same as asking a question?
No. Questions are answered only from your document. Fact-checks and Audits compare the document's claims with outside web sources and show those sources.
How much does an Audit cost?
It depends on the number of pages covered. The cost is shown before it runs and the formula is on the How credits work page.
