The BSFILTER Framework
Every claim deserves scrutiny. Run yours through eight lenses — what's actually being said, who's saying it and why, what the evidence shows, what's missing, and what likely lies beneath. The result is a clearer picture, not a verdict.
B
Break the claim down
S
Source it (who said it, who benefits)
F
Find the actual evidence
I
Inspect for gaps, omissions, exaggerations
L
Link influences (money, timing, lobbying)
T
Test alternative explanations
E
Evaluate intent
R
Report the reality
