# Fact-check (You.com)

## When this fires
There is a discrete, checkable claim on the table.

## How to retrieve
1. Search the claim with `you-search`; pull primary sources with `you-contents`.
2. Line up supporting and contradicting evidence side by side.
3. Return the claim, what the evidence shows, a calibrated confidence, and the
   sources. Never assert a verdict the sources don't support.
