Highwire

FounderWeb · Livehighwire.news

Highwire groups every article covering the same event into one story, then takes that coverage apart: which narratives are being advanced, which claims each one rests on, what evidence backs those claims, and where the sources diverge from each other.

It is not a bias meter and it does not tell you what to believe. It shows the reporting underneath the headline and links every conclusion back to the source it came from.

Highwire, a news analysis story page showing confidence and divergence scores across sources

The problem

A headline is a summary of a summary. By the time a story reaches you it has been compressed twice, and the parts that got dropped are usually the parts that would have changed your read of it.

Reading five outlets on the same event does not fix that. It just gives you five compressions and no way to see where they actually disagree.

What it does

Highwire treats coverage as evidence to be examined rather than content to be scrolled. Each story is decomposed into the narratives being advanced and the claims that support them, and each claim is scored on how well the reporting backs it.

  • All coverage of one event grouped into a single story
  • Claims separated from framing, and traced to their evidence
  • A divergence score showing how far the sources drift apart
  • A confidence score on how well-supported the analysis is
  • Every assessment one click from the source it came from

Intellectual honesty over agreement

The product is built on one principle: show the reasoning, including where it is weak or where the sources genuinely conflict, rather than resolving it into a verdict. Uncertainty stays visible instead of getting rounded off.
