How settled is today's news? The share of the day's most significant developments that multiple independent outlets corroborate — versus what's contested or still developing. Computed daily from the full news corpus. Updated 2026-07-27.
Each day, Apprised synthesizes the most significant developments across an 800+ source corpus and rates the factual certainty of each: Consensus (multiple independent outlets corroborate what happened), Contested (sources disagree on substance, or only one side reports it), or Developing (thin, single-source, or fast-moving and unconfirmed). The Consensus Index is the percentage rated Consensus. A high reading means a settled news day; a low reading means an unusually disputed one.
The rating is about facts, not framing — two outlets can spin a story oppositely and still corroborate that it happened. China-sensitive stories are read independently by a U.S. model and included. See the full methodology.
