Terms of Use

Nature of content

The Narrative Gap aggregates and analyses claims reported by third-party news sources. We do not independently verify claims. All content on this site reflects what has been reported by news outlets, not assertions of fact by The Narrative Gap. Confidence assessments indicate how consistently a claim is reported across independent sources, not whether the claim is true.

No warranty

All content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Narrative Gap makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any analysis, confidence assessment, or claim presented on this site.

No reliance

Content on this site is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute and should not be relied upon as news reporting, legal advice, financial advice, intelligence assessment, or any other form of professional advice. Do not make personal, financial, legal, or security decisions based on content from this site. If you need professional advice, consult a qualified professional.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Narrative Gap and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or related to your use of this site or reliance on any content presented here.

Third-party content

Claims, assertions, and quoted material on this site originate from third-party news sources and are attributed accordingly. The Narrative Gap does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for the accuracy of third-party content. Short excerpts of third-party content are presented for the purpose of commentary and analysis under applicable fair use / fair dealing provisions.

Analytical assessments

This site presents evidence-based analytical assessments, including assessments of likelihood, intent, motive, capability, and potential outcomes. These assessments are analytical inferences derived from patterns in reported evidence — they are not allegations of fact, accusations, or statements of personal knowledge. When we assess that an actor "likely" intends something, we are describing what the balance of reported evidence suggests, not asserting private knowledge of that actor's state of mind.

Assessments may be wrong. Evidence may be incomplete, biased, or deliberately misleading. Our analytical conclusions reflect the best interpretation of available reporting at the time of analysis and should be understood as provisional, not definitive.

Named individuals and organisations

This site references real individuals, organisations, and governments in the context of analysing publicly reported events. All such references are based on third-party news reporting. The Narrative Gap does not make independent factual claims about any named individual or organisation. Assessments about intent, motive, or likely actions attributed to named parties are analytical inferences from reported evidence, not personal allegations.

Not a news service

The Narrative Gap is an analytical tool, not a news service. We do not employ journalists, conduct interviews, or produce original reporting. All analysis is derived from publicly available news sources.

Changes

These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the current terms.
