Public officials ranked by an aggregate truth score — built from published third-party fact-check tallies. Lower score = worse record.
Each person's card shows their Truth-O-Meter distribution — the count of statements PolitiFact has rated at each level, from True down to Pants on Fire. We don't invent verdicts: every card links to the live source, and counts are a snapshot retrieved Aug 12, 2026.
The truth score (0–100) is a weighted average of that distribution:
True=100, Mostly True=75, Half True=50, Mostly False=25, False=5, Pants on Fire=0.
People with fewer than 20 checks are shown but flagged small sample and never top the ranking.
Caveat: a fact-checker only rates statements it chooses to check, so this measures the truthfulness of checked claims, not everything a person has ever said. It's a lens, not a verdict.
Paste a speech, debate answer, or transcript. Polygraph pulls out the factual claims and gives each a preliminary rating.
Claims are screened by Claude and rated on the same ladder as the scoreboard.
