How it works

One rep from frozen to ready.

One short loop trains the whole response: detect, rebut, defend, replay. Start with a daily scenario or a claim you just checked.

1

Spot the weak move

Name the fallacy or evidence gap before you answer. The claim checker can turn something you found into a practice rep.

2

Build the rebuttal

Write the response you wish you had in the moment. Your coach points to one win, one leak, and a stronger version.

3

Hold your ground

Answer the pushback, then replay your line in your own words. Three reps unlock a weekly boss and a clear before-and-after.

The verdict

Not just true or false.

Real claims are messier than that. Every analysis names exactly what's solid, what's slippery, and what's simply wrong.

TRUE

The claim holds up. The evidence is sound and the reasoning is honest, and you get the receipts to prove it.

MISLEADING

Technically true, deliberately framed to fool you. This is where most misinformation lives, and where the app shines.

FALSE

It falls apart under scrutiny. See exactly which parts are wrong and the real science that replaces them.

Learn the tricks

Spot the fallacy every time.
