A quick, practical fact-checking process for verifying a claim before sharing it, in a few minutes, not a few hours.
Fact-checking sounds like a professional skill, but the basic version anyone can do takes just a few minutes and catches most misinformation before it spreads further. This guide gives that practical, everyday version.
Inside: a quick verification process for checking a claim before sharing it, using reliable fact-checking resources efficiently, tracing a claim back to its original source instead of a secondhand repost, and knowing when a claim needs deeper verification versus a quick check. Practical enough to actually use in the moment.
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
