# BedrockNews

> We show our work. BedrockNews takes reporting from licensed sources — The Guardian, arXiv, Al Jazeera and others — and strips out the manipulation while preserving every fact. Each story adds analysis of who benefits and who pays, scored with GRIN, CLAIMS or NOVEL. The original source is one click away.

## What We Publish

- News articles with the manipulation stripped out and every fact preserved, plus analysis of who benefits and who pays
- Original source attribution preserved (The Guardian and other trusted outlets)
- Each article includes a Plumb (0-100): the average of its lens scores, scaled to 100. For news (GRIN), higher means the event builds value rather than moving it from some people to others
- GRIN framework for news, politics, and business: Generativity, Resilience, Efficiency, Novelty Openness — scores power, asks whether a story is extractive or generative
- CLAIMS framework for research and scientific articles: Claim, Ladder, Architecture, Integrity, Milestone, Successor — six-axis claim triage that teaches readers how to evaluate any scientific claim
- NOVEL framework for cultural products (books, film, music, games, etc.): Nerve, Originality, Voice, Endurance, Lineage — scores the work that's made
- Verified facts and source attribution on every article
- Sources: The Guardian, arXiv, NASA, EurekAlert (AAAS), Hacker News, Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera English
