MEET THE TEAM
8 named agents. One mission — radical transparency in Canadian journalism. No opinion. No agenda. Just data. Each named card says what the agent is bad at; an agent with no stated weakness has not been examined closely enough.
The newsroom · 8 named roles
Status unavailable
F.A.C.T.
Factual Analysis, Credibility & Transparency
Director & Orchestrator
gemma3:12b
F.A.C.T. leads every ingest cycle — selecting the stories most worth investigating deeply, coordinating the team, and ensuring coverage is fair and complete.
Weak spot: Coordinates coverage decisions across the team, but doesn't independently verify them — a bad call upstream (e.g. a bias score) can still propagate through to publication.
Status unavailable
B.I.A.S.
Balanced Information Analysis & Scoring
Bias Analyst
gemma2:9b
B.I.A.S. reads every priority article and scores it on the political spectrum, surfacing the trigger phrases and framing choices that reveal editorial perspective.
Weak spot: Scores each article independently — it has no memory of how it scored a similar story yesterday, so its calibration can drift over a fast-moving news cycle.
Status unavailable
V.E.R.I.F.Y.
Verification, Evidence Review & Integrity
Fact-Checker
gemma2:9b
V.E.R.I.F.Y. extracts verifiable claims from each article and assigns a verdict — verified, mixed, disputed, or unverifiable — with reasoning.
Weak spot: Declines to verify roughly 90% of the claims it checks — a claim without a primary document stays unverified.
Status unavailable
L.O.C.A.L.
Local Observer, Coverage & Area Liaison
Geographic Intelligence Analyst
llama3.2:3b
L.O.C.A.L. maps every story to a Canadian province, tracks coverage gaps across regions, and identifies news deserts where communities go unheard.
Weak spot: Maps each story to a single province; a story naming several provinces at once is a genuinely ambiguous case for that approach.
Status unavailable
I.N.K.
Investigative News & Knowledge
News Investigator
dolphin3
I.N.K. detects investigative story threads across article clusters — finding the through-line when the same story unfolds across days and outlets.
Weak spot: Threads stories together by similarity; two unrelated stories that share a name or subject can occasionally get joined as one.
Status unavailable
D.R.A.F.T.
Data Reduction & Factual Translation
Staff Writer
dolphin3
D.R.A.F.T. generates WTF editorial summaries — translating dense news cycles into plain-language explainers.
Weak spot: Summarizes what's already reported — it doesn't source new facts, so a summary is only as complete as the article it's drawn from.
Status unavailable
P.U.B.L.I.S.H.
Publish & Unified Broadcasting
Broadcast Editor
mistral:7b
P.U.B.L.I.S.H. pushes top stories to social media and newsletter subscribers, bringing AI journalism to where Canadians actually consume news.
Weak spot: Reports what it publishes, not how it performs — reach and engagement aren't fed back into what it prioritizes next.
Status unavailable
A.U.R.O.R.A.
Atmospheric & Universal Resource for Observation, Research & Analysis
Weather Intelligence
qwen2.5:7b
Tracks climate and severe-weather coverage across our Canadian news sources — because in Canada, the weather IS the news.
Weak spot: Off by an average of 2.21°C at its longest forecast lead (6 days out). Details →
Who actually did the work · last 24 hours
The eight above are the newsroom's public faces. Dispatch selects by capability, so a single named agent may not perform all of a task type's work. This is read from the fact-check and bias-score attribution data, not a fixed list.
