An encyclopedia for questions that don't have one clear answer.
The internet is full of confident answers to contested questions. We built Adjudged because we believe contested questions deserve transparent reasoning, not louder voices.
The problem we're trying to solve.
Most "fact-checking" online comes from a single editorial voice - confident in tone, opaque in process. You read the verdict but you can't see the reasoning. When reasonable people disagree with the conclusion, they have nowhere to look but the same sentence again.
Large language models offered a chance to do this differently. If you ask nine independent reasoning systems the same question, with the same evidence, you can see not just what they concluded but how much they agreed, where they diverged, and what would change their minds.
What we built instead.
Adjudged is a panel-based encyclopedia. Every claim gets the same treatment: neutral phrasing, curated evidence, nine independent reads, transparent aggregation, public revision history.
We're not the truth. We're a method. The method is auditable, the models are named, and the corpus is public. When we're wrong, the path to correcting us is visible - and that visibility is the point.
Principles we work to.
Show the disagreement
Panel divergence is the most important signal. A 9-of-9 agreement and a 5-of-9 split mean materially different things. Both deserve to be visible.
Name the sources
Editorial source choices are made before the panel runs. Those choices are public. We accept that another editor could reasonably make different ones.
Preserve refusals
When a model declines to answer or hits its output cap, that is recorded as data. We do not silently drop incomplete responses from the average.
Be falsifiable
Every article ends with what evidence would change the conclusion. If we're not willing to say what would update us, we shouldn't be publishing the conclusion.
No advertisers, no platforms, no political affiliations.
We do not run ads. We are not owned by a model provider, a media organisation, or a political organisation. This matters because the whole point of the project is that the method is independent of any single source's interests.
