How SignalShield evaluates narratives
We examine how language, emphasis, and framing choices position the stock regardless of the underlying facts.
We compare a primary article against multiple sources to surface where the narrative is consensus versus where it is contested.
We flag language patterns common in promotional or opinion-driven content that may not reflect independent reporting.
Each source is scored on the ratio of verifiable claims to speculative framing, producing the position score shown above.
We surface what the bearish or cautionary perspective emphasises, information that may be underweighted in bullish coverage.
