Task
Source Criticism Brief
Stakes
This is the source-criticism evidence in your portfolio β proof you can verify AI and media output instead of trusting it.
Run SIFT on a claim from your own feed.
Find one real post, headline, image, or video from your own feed in the last day β something you might have shared. Run the four moves and write the verification trail (200β300 words):
- The claim β paste/describe it, and your honest first reaction.
- Stop β what emotion was it engineered to trigger?
- Investigate the source β who posted it; what did lateral reading reveal?
- Find better coverage β who else reports it, or is it alone?
- Trace β where does the claim/image actually originate?
- Verdict β real / misleading / fake, and the ONE move that decided it.
You pass when your verdict rests on a SOURCE move (investigate/find/trace), not on whether the thing "looked real."
