Every source is measured across seven structural dimensions that evaluate how content is constructed and sourced, not its ideological orientation.
How many genuinely independent sources confirm the core claims?
How traceable is the sourcing chain? Are claims attributed to named sources?
What proportion is inferential, and how explicitly is speculation marked?
Quality and independence of cited sources. Structural conflicts of interest?
Does the content build or degrade the reader's evaluative capacity?
Does framing exploit emotional reactivity rather than inform?
Are production conditions transparent? Is funding disclosed?
Each product can operate independently. All four compound together.
