Frequently asked questions

What does "contested" mean here?

A story is marked contested when its coverage scores 60+ on Signalwaves' 0–100 divergence score — meaning classified sources are reporting it in ways that pull in noticeably opposite directions, not just with different wording.

How often does this list change?

Hourly. Stories are re-evaluated on every refresh cycle, so a topic can move up, drop off, or get replaced as new coverage comes in and older coverage ages out.

Where do the sources come from?

385+ outlets across wire services, editorial desks, official government/institutional channels, independent publishers, and community platforms — spanning multiple world regions, not just English-language Western media.
