ABOUT METAFACT

Metafact is a fact-checking platform. You ask a question, we source many independent experts to verify the evidence.

A 'meta-fact' is a statistical statement about the real world supported by many different pieces of evidence, from many independent sources.

It comes from the word 'meta-analysis' in science; a technique to aggregate multiple similar experiments to better determine the collective evidence.

Metafact is a platform to expand this concept further by instead allowing citizens to ask questions that effect their own lives and for scientific experts to share their answers and knowledge collectively, allowing the established consensus to be published openly and freely for all to learn from.
