About Could This Be True?

Why this exists

Every major AI-detection product outputs a single number — “87% AI” — and asks you to trust it. We don't.

Real forensic work shows its evidence. A pathologist doesn't hand you a verdict; they walk you through the slides. A photo forensics expert doesn't say “edited” — they show you the splice, the compression mismatch, the noise inconsistency. That's the model we built around: every signal is visualized, every decision is auditable.

What we run

• Text: burstiness, lexical tics, n-gram repetition, sentence-start variety, punctuation patterns.
• Image: Error Level Analysis, FFT magnitude spectrum, RGB channel decomposition, noise residual (PRNU proxy), C2PA signature verification.
• Audio: spectrogram analysis, formant patterns, vocoder artifacts (coming soon).
• Video: frame consistency, optical-flow flicker, face-landmark stability, lip-sync drift (coming soon).

What we don't do

• Sell the bypass. We will never sell a tool that helps content evade detection. The conflict of interest would destroy the entire product.
• Pretend to be a polygraph. Detection is evidence, not proof. False positives have caused real harm — students wrongly accused, photographers wrongly flagged. Treat every verdict as the start of an investigation, not the end.
• Upload your data unnecessarily. Most checks run in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly choose a server-side option.

What's next

• Audio detection (spectrogram + vocoder fingerprint).
• Video detection (face-landmark stability, lip-sync drift).
• C2PA signature reading on every image.
• API access for fraud / moderation / journalism workflows.
