ClaimTrace ClaimTrace is an open-source engine that traces public claims to preserved evidence and refuses to call anyone a fraud. It asks one question: How well is a public claim supported by preserved public evidence? ClaimTrace captures public sources, preserves readable evidence with hashes and metadata, links claim candidates back to source excerpts, and produces decomposed reports where credibility strength, credibility risk, and evidence coverage stay separate. It is built to support claim-review workflows without turning the engine into a consumer verdict machine. Quickstart cp .env.example .env docker compose up --build The API will be available at http://localhost:8000.
