What Factoteca is
Factoteca (fact + biblioteca) is a small independent reference library for people who want the fact and the receipt in the same place. Every entry carries a date, a source class and a confidence note; where a claim cannot be verified it is marked unverified rather than repeated.
The library is built for researchers, journalists, students and anyone who has been burned by a confident wrong answer. Entries are written to be quoted: short, sourced, and stable enough to cite.
How entries are verified
Each fact goes through a source check before publication: primary sources preferred, secondary sources labelled, and AI-assisted drafts always reviewed against the underlying record. Corrections are appended with a date, never silently edited.
Factoteca also publishes its own operational facts — registration date, registrar and measured traffic — because a reference library that will not show its own sources is just another opinion.
Reading the confidence notes
Entries carry one of three marks: verified (primary source on file), reported (credible secondary source, unconfirmed) and unverified (on file but not yet checked). The mark is part of the entry, not a footnote.
If a fact matters to a decision — money, health, legal, safety — treat 'reported' and 'unverified' as 'go check the primary source yourself'. That is what they are for.
Questions
Is Factoteca a news site?
No. It is a reference library: dated, sourced fact entries rather than a news feed.
Who runs Factoteca?
Factoteca is a property of the Zynthio sovereign network; contact [email protected] for corrections or sourcing questions.
Can I cite a Factoteca entry?
Yes — cite the entry URL and its confidence mark. Verified entries cite their primary source.
How current is the library?
Entries carry individual dates; the library adds and re-checks continuously rather than on a fixed edition cycle.
