How SignalShield evaluates narratives

Framing analysis

We examine how language, emphasis, and framing choices position the stock regardless of the underlying facts.

Source comparison

We compare a primary article against multiple sources to surface where the narrative is consensus versus where it is contested.

Promotional language detection

We flag language patterns common in promotional or opinion-driven content that may not reflect independent reporting.

Evidence density scoring

Each source is scored on the ratio of verifiable claims to speculative framing, producing the position score shown above.

Counterargument weighting

We surface what the bearish or cautionary perspective emphasises, information that may be underweighted in bullish coverage.

Verification checklist

Specific claims from the primary article that warrant independent verification before acting on the information.
