Methodology

Mutual Horizon examines public claims against documented records. A profile requires meaningful Australian influence, a repeated public identity claim, and a clear source-backed contradiction.

Evidence tiers

Tier 1: primary records such as parliamentary votes, Hansard, official policy documents, electoral disclosures, corporate filings, court records, regulator findings, and AEC data.

Tier 2: trusted institutional explainers such as universities, legal centres, union research, parliamentary library material, major charities, and transparent-method think tanks.

Tier 3: reputable journalism for timeline and context. Major contradictions should not rely on journalism alone unless it links to primary evidence.

AI use

AI tools may assist with source discovery, drafting, summarisation, link checking, and share-card drafts. Mutual Horizon uses admin-only AI draft records for this work; humans verify, legally review, and approve all published material.

Legal-risk gate

No profile should publish until factual claims are sourced, evidence is reviewed by a human, correction paths are visible, and high-risk wording has passed review.
