How a story is checked across several outlets, varieties and languages.

## Record

- **Platform**: News and events
- **State**: in-preparation
- **Lede**: A story about Kurds often reads differently in Kurmanji, Sorani, Arabic, Persian or Turkish. Verification compares several outlets before a story is shown.
- **Several outlets**: Each story is shown with several outlets, never one.
- **Across languages**: Reports are compared across Kurdish varieties and other languages.
- **Ownership in view**: Each outlet's label is shown beside its headline.
- **Headlines and links**: Only headlines and links are shown; the full story stays with the outlet.
- **Audience**: Readers, Journalists, Researchers, Community Cells
- **Step 1**: Gather: headlines come from outlets in the register.
- **Step 2**: Compare: reports of the same event are grouped.
- **Step 3**: Check: claims that differ are marked as differing.
- **Step 4**: Show: the story appears with every outlet and its label.
