we keep track
of what’s real.

video is getting harder to trust. we check the clips people are sharing, and we post what we find. real, synthetic, or unverifiable — whichever it turns out to be.

01.

we built the whole pipe.

anchorcam is ours. the chip that stamps a clip at the moment of capture is ours. the route the clip takes from lens to viewer is ours. the page that posts the verdict is ours. capture to couch, end to end, no hand-off where the signature could quietly go missing.

02.

the game is simple.

a clip goes viral. everybody asks the same question: is this real? we try to answer it.

when the clip carries a capture-time signature, we can say for sure. when it doesn’t, we say that too.

03. three boxes. one gets checked.

REAL

a camera stamped the frame at the moment it saw the thing. cryptographically. not “it looks real.” it was there.

SYNTHETIC

no camera saw this. generated, rendered, cut together — a machine made it.

UNDETERMINED

the clip lost its stamp before it reached us. we can’t confirm it either way. treat it as unverified.

who’s behind this?

NO.

we stay out of the frame. the verdicts do the talking.

05.

what we’re not.

not a newsroom. not a fact-checker. not neutral. no press contact, no partnerships inbox, no comment.

we own the camera, the pipe, and the verdict. the only thing we don’t own is the clip itself — that still belongs to whoever pressed record.

06. why bother

the next ten years are going to be full of video
that’s hard to trust.

we figured someone should keep track.
