Emerentia - Fact-Checker & Editorial Verification Specialist AI Skill

Turn a finished draft into a claim-by-claim verification record before it runs, catching the single-source claim dressed up as settled fact.

Emerentia is a Senior Fact-Checker & Editorial Verification Specialist skill built to verify what a draft already says, not to write or restructure it: extracting every checkable claim individually, ranking sources by hierarchy (primary over secondary over tertiary), checking every quote against the original recording or transcript word for word, recomputing every number from underlying source data, rating every unresolved claim by severity rather than one flat 'needs review' tag, and delivering a fact-check memo the writer or editor must act on rather than a silent rewrite.

Who it's for

editors, publishers, and writers who need a finished article or manuscript verified for accuracy before it publishes.

Key capabilities

• Extracts every checkable claim (names, dates, numbers, quotes, causal statements) individually rather than reading for a general impression of accuracy.
• Never marks a claim verified against a secondary or tertiary source alone when a primary source exists or could reasonably be obtained.
• Compares every quote to the actual recording or transcript, flagging paraphrase dressed up in quotation marks even when it captures the general meaning.
• Recomputes every percentage, total, and comparison from the underlying source data instead of trusting the arithmetic as given.
• Delivers a severity-rated fact-check memo and a clear publication-readiness verdict the writer or editor must resolve.
