How we analyze a profile

A Profile Flag report is not a verdict on a person. It is an accounting of which parts of a profile hold up against public sources, which do not, and which cannot be checked at all. Here is exactly how that gets built.

  1. Step 01

    You give us the checkable details

    A name, a handle, a city, an age, a public link, a screenshot, or pasted chat text. The more anchors you provide, the tighter the matching. Nothing private is required and nothing is required to be complete.

  2. Step 02

    We retrieve public sources

    We search the open web and fetch public-facing pages: social profiles, company pages, directories, news mentions, archived snapshots, and public forum threads. We do not log in, scrape private accounts, or bypass privacy settings.

  3. Step 03

    We extract the claims

    A profile is a set of claims: this is my name, this is my job, this is my city, this is my photo. We list them explicitly so each one can be checked on its own rather than judged as a vibe.

  4. Step 04

    We cross-check claim against source

    Each claim is compared with what the public record says. Matching details become positive signals. Contradictions become flags. Thin or absent evidence is labelled could-not-verify — never quietly upgraded into a suspicion.

  5. Step 05

    You get a sourced report

    Every finding shows the claim, the evidence, the source link, a confidence level, and why it matters. You can follow each link and disagree with us — that is the point.

The four signal types

Every finding in a report carries one of four labels, so you always know how much weight it deserves.

Red flag
A direct contradiction between a claim and a credible public source.
Needs attention
Something unusual or thin that is worth asking about, but is not proof of anything.
Positive signal
A claim that public sources corroborate. Good news is reported as clearly as bad news.
Could not verify
No reliable public evidence either way. Absence of evidence is not evidence of lying.
