Vote Blindly, Help Build the Benchmark

The statements you read are the only thing you see. Identity, branding, and graphics are completely stripped.

01

We collect transcripts

Every day we harvest recent coverage programmatically via official platform APIs. We pull verbatim transcripts and captions. No manual user submissions, ensuring representative, unbiased sampling.

$ youtube-api fetch --recent-uploads > Fetching NDTV, Aaj Tak, Ravish Kumar... > Extracted 12 video transcripts. > Generating SHA-256 content-hashes. > Status: 100% Secure & Pinned.
02

You vote blindly

You review a randomized slate of anonymous statements. Pick the statements that best satisfy the quality dimension (e.g., Neutrality). Brand identities and logos reveal only after your vote is cast.

Statement A (Factual)
"The agency confirmed 3,000 cases of vaccine distribution delays across five provinces."
Statement B (Speculative)
"Unsubstantiated reports point to complete structural failures in the distribution grid."
03

Every vote refines the leaderboard

Your vote updates the latent ELO score of the underlying outlet. The leaderboard recalculates in real-time using Bayesian shrinkage, ensuring that small sample sizes don't skew the ratings.
