Full Source List

Every claim in your report is traceable to a real, clickable source.

What is it?

The Full Source List shows every piece of data that was used to generate your report:

**News Articles** - sourced from the GDELT Project, which monitors and indexes news publications from 100+ countries in 65+ languages, 24 hours a day. Each article is listed with its title, publication domain, date, country of origin, and tone score.

**YouTube Videos** - sourced via the YouTube Data API v3, showing every video analysed with its title, publish date and a link to the original. In line with YouTube's API policies, the stored video and comment listings are removed from the report after 30 days - the analysis derived from them stays.

**Social & Community Feeds** - read directly from the platforms: X posts, TikTok videos and Instagram posts (Instagram through Meta's official Graph API), plus Reddit threads and comments, Bluesky, Mastodon, Hacker News and App Store reviews - and Amazon ratings and Google Reviews where the brand sells or has locations. For Instagram and TikTok each entry keeps the link, date and engagement counts only - no captions and no account names, by design.

**Web Sources** - found by AI live web search across Trustpilot, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, industry forums and any other pages accessed during research, each with its title, domain and a snippet of what was found.

Every entry also carries a **provenance label** - licensed API, public feed, or web collection - so you can see how each item was collected, and all sources are clickable so you can verify any finding directly.

Why it matters

Transparency is the foundation of trust in any intelligence product. A sentiment score without a source list is just an opinion. With a source list, every finding can be verified - by you, your team, or a client you're presenting the report to.

The source list also serves as a research starting point. If the report mentions a critical Reddit thread with 800 upvotes, you can click through, read it, and respond directly. If a news article has been misinterpreted, you can see the original and assess it yourself.

No other sentiment tool at this price point provides a fully transparent, clickable source list. Most enterprise tools keep their methodology proprietary.
