About

Our mission

Lefact is an independent fact-checking publication that investigates viral and consequential claims and explains the evidence in plain English.

How we work

Every fact-check follows our published 5-step verification methodology. Every verdict is mapped to a published verdict scale. Every source we cite is named, dated and linked.

Founding

Lefact was founded by Bilal Sameer in 2026 to fill the gap for fast, sourced fact-checking across health, tech, AI and consumer claims.
