Polifiles turns politicians’ words into a “BS Index”
Polifiles presents model-generated bluff and question-dodging scores for a lineup of UK and US politicians, alongside rankings and transcript records.
- For
- Readers comparing politicians’ public claims and interviews
- Worth noticing
- Its index combines separate Bluff and Spin figures; the site says its model rates statements, not politicians.
Field notes
The homepage separates Bluff from Spin, then combines the two into a single score; it also offers a comparison view and identifies a middle-of-group reference line. Transcript entries name interview sources and dates, with counts for sentences and questions. The extract shows a methodology version and update date, but not the method’s criteria or validation, so the displayed ratings should be read as the project’s model outputs rather than settled fact-check findings.
