CiteRanger extracts factual claims, meaning statements that can be checked against a source. Six types cover most of what goes stale on a page.
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Statistics and numbers | Market sizes, growth rates, survey results, percentages, counts |
| Prices and plans | Product prices, subscription tiers, fees, cost comparisons, thresholds |
| Company facts | Employee counts, headquarters, leadership, ownership, acquisitions |
| Dates and timelines | Launch dates, deadlines, historical events, schedules, version dates |
| Product details | Specifications, features, integrations, limits, compatibility |
| Legal and regulatory | Regulations, requirements, certifications, standards, allowances |
What is not a claim
- Opinions and recommendations (“the best option for small teams”)
- General descriptions without a checkable fact
- Predictions and forecasts
- Statements about the page itself
These are skipped, not marked unverifiable.
Claims without a source
A claim that is original to your page, such as your own survey result or a measurement you made, has no external source to check against. It is reported as unverifiable, which in this case means “yours to vouch for”, not “wrong”. Consider adding the method or date next to it on the page so readers and AI systems can see where it comes from.
