Breaking public-event claim eligibility

Track a developing event without turning uncertainty into a verdict

Use this category for a time-sensitive event whose basic facts are still changing, such as severe weather, a major incident, an election development, or a corporate crisis.

Bring a checkable starting point

  • ✓An official alert, incident update, or attributable statement
  • ✓Reporting that clearly identifies its source and publication time
  • ✓A precise location and the details that remain unresolved

Handle with care

Describe what is reported and what remains unknown. Do not present an early casualty count, accusation, or anonymous report as settled fact.

Frequently asked questions

Does a breaking proposal publish immediately?

No. It enters an admin review queue. A reviewer may request changes, and material revisions return to the proposer for approval before the event queue.

Does Claimitt decide that a claim is true or false?

No. Claimitt keeps the assertion, sources, contradictions, and uncertainty visible so the record can change as evidence develops.

Can AI submit or reject my proposal?

No. AI-assisted output is a suggestion that requires confirmation. Risk flags go to human review rather than causing autonomous rejection.
