Frame
Turn a viral claim into one precise question.
Method / Investigation desk 01
Curiosity is the
starting point.
The Veil Investigations explains how a question becomes a research file: how we frame it, test it, score it, and keep the door open for better evidence.
WORKING STANDARDEvidence before atmosphere.
01 / The research loop
Every file follows the same path
Follow the signal.
Return to the question.
The loop is deliberately repeatable. A conclusion can move when the evidence changes.
Trace
Find the earliest available source and follow the chain.
Compare
Place the official account beside independent observations.
Test
Check dates, data, provenance, incentives, and alternatives.
Score
Rate the four dimensions and show the arithmetic.
Reassess
Publish limits, invite correction, and revisit the file.

02 / What counts as evidence
A source hierarchy
Not every signal
has equal weight.
01
Primary materialOriginal records, datasets, filings, direct footage, or contemporaneous documentation.
02
Independent reportingMultiple reputable sources that can be checked against the underlying claim.
03
Expert analysisResearch or specialist interpretation that explains the mechanism and its limits.
04
Pattern evidenceRepeated observations that may justify a question, but do not become proof by repetition alone.

Editorial disclosure
A score is a map, not a verdict.
The Veil Index does not prove conspiracies. It makes uncertainty visible, shows the reasoning, and leaves room for better evidence to change the file.
