Does the evidence support the headline?

Thinktankery reads research published by UK think tanks and audits it against a fixed, published specification: whether the paper's claims are supported by its own evidence and the sources it cites — its method, never its conclusions. A left-leaning and a right-leaning paper with the same flaws get the same score.

Every finding cites the pages it rests on, code checks what can be checked, and a person signs off each paper before it appears here. How it works.
