SourceIQ
Source it. Prove it. Know who spread it.
Content provenance and threat intelligence engine. Submit any social media URL and receive a full intelligence report covering content origin tracing, source credibility scoring, claim verification, spread network analysis, and social graph health assessment.
The name carries double meaning: "source it" -- trace content to its origin -- and "source IQ" -- measure the credibility of who said it.
The Problem
- Misinformation spreads faster than corrections can be issued
- No easy way to trace content back to its original source
- Bot networks and coordinated campaigns are invisible to casual observers
- Fact-checking is manual, slow, and fragmented across organizations
- Journalists and researchers lack tools to assess source credibility at scale
- Threat intelligence on information operations is siloed and expensive
The SourceIQ Solution
- Automated content origin tracing across platforms and web archives
- AI-powered claim extraction and verification against certified fact-checkers
- Social graph analysis that exposes bot networks and coordinated amplification
- Composite trust scoring from 0-100 with clear, actionable bands
- Campaign fingerprinting to identify organized information operations
- STIX 2.1 export for integration with existing threat intelligence workflows
Five Analysis Engines
Provenance Engine
Traces content to its earliest known instance across platforms and web archives. Uses text fingerprinting (SimHash) and image fingerprinting (pHash) to identify the original source, even when content has been modified or re-shared.
Social Graph Analyzer
Audits follower networks for bot signals and detects coordinated amplification patterns. Computes the Misinformation Propagation Index (MPI) to quantify how effectively a network spreads unreliable content.
Source Reputation Engine
Scores account credibility using bot detection, known information operations databases, domain reputation, and behavioral signals. Assigns trust bands ranging from VERIFIED down to KNOWN BAD ACTOR.
Claim Verification Engine
Extracts claims via AI and cross-references them against 100+ IFCN-certified fact-checkers worldwide. Returns verdicts: TRUE, FALSE, MISLEADING, or UNVERIFIED, with linked sources for each determination.
Threat Intelligence Layer
Campaign fingerprinting by narrative cluster, network topology, and temporal pattern. Identifies coordinated information operations and exports findings in STIX 2.1 format with TLP markings for threat sharing.
Image Investigation
Upload any image for reverse image search across the web. TinEye integration provides date-stamped match history, revealing when and where an image first appeared and how it has been used over time.
Composite Trust Score
Every analysis produces a Composite Trust Score on a 0-100 scale, synthesized from all five engines. The score maps to clear, actionable trust bands that tell you exactly how much confidence to place in a piece of content and its source.
| Score Range | Trust Band | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| 80 - 100 | VERIFIED | High-confidence source with corroborated claims and clean network signals |
| 65 - 79 | CREDIBLE | Generally reliable source with minor unverified claims or limited history |
| 45 - 64 | CAUTION | Mixed signals -- some claims verified, others questionable or unverifiable |
| 25 - 44 | SUSPICIOUS | Multiple red flags including bot-like behavior, unverified claims, or known IO ties |
| 0 - 24 | THREAT | Confirmed bad actor, active information operation, or fabricated content |
