Information strategy and narrative monitoring
Understanding
: Information
at its source
Rectifa develops proprietary tools to analyze information dynamics on digital channels: detecting weak signals, verifying sources, and modeling the spread of narratives.
R&D rooted in real-world applications
Methods of manipulating information are evolving faster than the tools used to detect them. Our approach: build testable prototypes, measure their effectiveness in real-world scenarios, and then iterate.
Field observation
Analysis of how information spreads on social media to identify the most active sources of misinformation.
Rapid prototyping
Every hypothesis is translated into a testable tool. The prototype is the real testing ground, not the report.
Evaluation and Iteration
Our tools are evaluated based on criteria such as accuracy, bias, and real-world usage. The results guide the development of each new version.
Recheck: Analyze information in seconds
Rectifa’s first tool. It assesses the level of information risk associated with content (URLs, text, or images) shared on social media, in both French and English.
This tool is currently undergoing active research. The results are preliminary and are subject to ongoing evaluation.
The problems our R&D team is working to solve
Network detection
Modeling the dynamics of disinformation spread on platforms that distribute news content.
AI-powered multimodal analysis
Approaches capable of analyzing text, images, and video together.
Risk classification
Qualitative scores that reflect the inherent uncertainty of any analysis of information.
Multilingualism
Incorporating linguistic and cultural considerations from the design phase. FR/EN, with plans to expand to African languages.
Primary sources
Institutional fact-checking frameworks to ground analysis in verifiable data.
Tool design
UX research for interfaces that are accessible to everyone, from experts to the general public.
Research open to partnerships
We collaborate with academic institutions, media outlets, and civil society organizations that share our goals.
If you are a journalist, researcher, or organization interested in testing our prototypes, please contact us.
