Centriq
Live TV moves fast. The truth should keep up.
Debate Mode listens to live debates and interviews, checks every claim against trusted sources, measures whether questions actually get answered, and hands your control room clear, sourced verdicts — all in under a minute.
What Debate Mode does
A second set of eyes on every live conversation.
No host can moderate a heated debate and fact-check it at the same time. Centriq does the second job. It listens to the live audio, understands who said what, and analyzes every claim, question and answer as they happen. Your production crew sees the results on a backstage console and decides what reaches the screen — a correction, a follow-up question, or a verdict shown to the audience. And when the show ends, Centriq hands you the minutes: a timestamped record of the whole discussion, with every speaker's arguments summarized. Here's what that looks like in a real broadcast:
Before the host moves to the next topic, the control room already sees the truth: crime rose 12%, not 100%. The correction happens within the same segment — not in tomorrow's papers.
False · Source attachedThe guest answers with a story about struggling families. Centriq measures how much of the answer actually relates to the question — 22% — and suggests a follow-up so the host can circle back.
Evasion · Match 22%In minute 12, the same speaker called the deficit "perfectly manageable." Centriq remembers the whole broadcast and flags the contradiction the moment the words leave their mouth.

What your team actually sees.
Everything below is running live during the broadcast, updating on its own. Each item is stamped with the minute of the debate and the real time it was said, and links straight back to that point in the transcript.

What Centriq watches for
Six things your audience notices, measured live.
Live fact-checking
Every factual claim gets a verdict, a short explanation, the correct figure, and a source link your audience can check for themselves. When a claim can't be verified with confidence, Centriq says so instead of guessing.
Example: "Unemployment fell every year since 2020" → False. It rose in 2021. Source: Eurostat.
Dodged questions, caught
When a guest talks around a question instead of answering it, Centriq measures the semantic gap between question and answer as a live 0–100% match rate and flags the pivot in real time.
Example: Asked about a specific vote, the guest pivots to the economy → Match 22%, evasion flagged.
Weak arguments, tagged
Personal attacks, strawman arguments and self-contradictions are tagged the moment they happen — including contradictions with what a speaker said earlier in the same broadcast.
Example: Attacking the journalist instead of the question → tagged as ad hominem, instantly.
Backup for your host
Suggested follow-up questions, grounded in verified facts, appear on the host's backstage screen — so the host stays free to run the conversation while Centriq carries the numbers and the memory.
Example: "You said 57% renewables. Official data says 43%. What explains the gap?" — ready to ask.
Minutes, written for you
Centriq keeps a complete, timestamped record of the whole discussion — every statement pinned to the exact minute of the debate or video where it was said. When the show ends, it adds a bulleted summary of each speaker's arguments and exports everything as one document.
Example: "14:32 — Guest A: 'Crime has doubled' → False." One click, and you're at that exact moment.
How it's said, measured too
Centriq doesn't only track what is said — it live-tracks how. Each speaker's pace and volume are measured in real time, so the control room sees a debate heating up, or going flat, before it shows on camera.
Example: A guest jumps to 175 words a minute at +40% volume — the console flags the exchange as heated.
Who it's for
One broadcast, three people it helps.
Producers
A live dashboard of every claim, verdict and evasion in the broadcast. Decide in seconds what deserves airtime, with sources already attached.
Hosts & moderators
No one can fact-check and moderate at the same time. Centriq carries the memory and the numbers, so the host can focus on the conversation.
Audiences
Verdicts and sources can appear on screen during the show. Trust shifts from the most confident voice in the room to data anyone can verify.

▶ Centriq in a nutshell
See how it works in two minutes.
A short walkthrough of what Centriq does during a live broadcast — what it hears, what it checks, and what it puts on your team's screen.
Common questions
Asked by every newsroom we talk to.
Is Centriq politically neutral?
Yes, by design. Centriq doesn't hold opinions and doesn't score ideologies. It measures the structure of a conversation: whether a claim matches trusted sources, whether an answer matches the question. The same rules apply to every speaker, on every side.
Does anything go on air automatically?
No. Centriq feeds your control room, and your team decides what the audience sees. It's a co-pilot for your production crew, not a replacement for editorial judgment.
How fast is it really?
Under a minute from the moment something is said to the moment your control room sees the analysis — fast enough to correct a claim within the same segment, not in the next day's coverage.
Where do the fact-checks come from?
Claims are checked against trusted, verifiable sources, and every verdict carries a link to where the answer came from. If a claim can't be verified with confidence, Centriq says so instead of guessing.
What happens to our broadcast data?
It stays yours. Centriq is built for enterprise use with full data isolation and compliance with the EU AI Act. Your broadcasts don't train anyone else's models.
Can we run Sport Mode as well?
Yes. Both modes run on the same underlying platform, so a network covering debates during the week and matches at the weekend uses one system, one integration and one control-room workflow. We put together combined pricing on request.
