Transparency Ledger

The Apprised Bias Risk Ledger

Most outlets assert they're neutral. Apprised has a rival AI model (Kimi) independently grade every desk brief for bias risk — political lean, source-diversity skew, loaded framing — before it publishes, and we publish the running record, including the briefs that got flagged. Last 30 days, updated 2026-09-11.

78%
78% of 305 independently audited briefs cleared as LOW bias risk over the last 30 days. The rest were flagged for review.

Most-flagged concerns

When the audit doesn't clear a brief as LOW, it records why. The recurring flags in this window:

What it measures — and why it's honest

Before each desk brief publishes, an independent model that did not write it (Kimi) reads a condensed version and rates its bias risk LOW / MODERATE / HIGH with specific flags. This ledger is the deterministic tally of those verdicts — no new judgment is added here. We surface the MODERATE and HIGH counts and the flags prominently on purpose: a 100%-clean record would mean the audit isn't doing its job. Real MODERATE readings (with flags) are in the record above. The published editorial voice is still Claude; this is a second model checking it.
