What SoWhatHQ retains
- The public source URL
- When the source was checked and the change was captured
- Before and after evidence when the source supports it
- The detected move type and generated interpretation
- Any synthesis failure state needed for safe retrying
02
Verify a move
- 1
Open the move detail page.
- 2
Read the extracted evidence and timestamp.
- 3
Open the original source in a new tab.
- 4
Compare the source with the summary, accounting for any changes since capture.
- 5
Share the sourced move—not an isolated copied claim—when teammates need context.
03
Why a source can differ later
Public pages continue changing after capture. A page can also personalize content, require JavaScript, block automated requests, or remove historical language. The stored evidence and capture time explain what SoWhatHQ saw at the time.
