Task
Source Criticism Brief
Stakes
This is the source-criticism evidence in your portfolio โ 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 โ something you might have shared. Run the four moves and write the verification trail (200โ300 words):
- The claim โ paste/describe it, and your honest first reaction.
- Stop โ what emotion was it engineered to trigger?
- Investigate the source โ who posted it; what did lateral reading reveal?
- Find better coverage โ who else reports it, or is it alone?
- Trace โ where does the claim/image actually originate?
- Verdict โ 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."
