How we track promises
Every promise on this site is sourced, dated, and verified before being published. Below is the exact process we follow so you can judge for yourself whether to trust what you read here.
Discovery
We monitor public sources: party manifestos (when published), official speeches, government press releases, mainstream Tamil and English news, and verified social media accounts. Items are caught by automated scrapers running every 10–60 minutes.
Source linking
Every promise gets a source URL where the party originally made the statement. If we can't link it, we don't track it. No paraphrasing into a promise the source didn't say.
AI-assisted triage
New items are scored by AI for newsworthiness, sentiment, and topic. AI surfaces what's worth attention. AI never decides what gets published.
Human admin review
A human admin reviews every status change. They check the source, read the evidence, and decide whether to mark a promise as in-progress, delivered, broken, or disputed. Nothing reaches this page without that review.
Conservative defaults
When in doubt, we under-claim. A promise stays "not started" until verifiable evidence of motion. "Delivered" requires concrete proof, not announcement.
Public corrections
When we make mistakes, we log them on the Corrections page with the date, reason, and original source. Status reversals are visible to everyone.
