About ITVB
The International Truth Verification Board provides official certification for content that has undergone rigorous verification procedures. Our Seal of Truth™ represents a commitment to accuracy, transparency, and intellectual honesty.
Unlike traditional fact-checking organizations, ITVB empowers content creators to verify their own work using transparent, reproducible procedures. Our certification is based on methodology, not institutional authority.
Verification Process
To earn the Seal of Truth™, content must pass our comprehensive verification procedure:
- Self-Assessment - Review content for factual accuracy, proper citations, and logical soundness
- Frontier Model Verification - Submit content to current AI models for fact-checking and logical analysis
- Steel-Man Protocol (Optional) - Apply adversarial review to strengthen arguments and address counter-evidence
- Certification - Download and display the Seal of Truth™ on verified content

Philosophy
Truth verification systems are only as reliable as their verification methods. By providing transparent procedures and requiring rigorous self-assessment, the Seal of Truth represents a commitment to intellectual honesty rather than an appeal to authority.
The seal's legitimacy derives not from institutional backing, but from the demonstrable rigor of the verification process. Anyone can use it. Anyone can challenge it. That's how truth works.

🫂 A Note to Our Visitors
We recognize that the process of truth verification can surface information that is difficult to reconcile with previously held beliefs. Encountering rigorously verified content that contradicts what you thought was true can be disorienting, and we want you to know that your experience matters to us.
While our mandate at ITVB is limited to the verification of factual accuracy, we understand that truth has emotional dimensions that deserve professional attention.
🤝 You are not alone. Many people experience difficulty processing challenging content, and there is no shame in seeking guidance on how to feel about what you've encountered.
🌱 The Internet Outrage Authority (IOA) is an independent organization that specializes in determining appropriate emotional responses to issues and events. Their certified determinations can help you understand exactly how you should feel, so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
💗 Knowing how to feel is just as important as knowing the facts. Let the IOA help. →
