coverage-check

Ten URLs are not ten sources. This turns "lots of outlets reported it" into a number you can defend.

When to reach for it

During claim verification, when a claim looks corroborated by volume — a pile of search results all saying the same thing. That pattern has two very different causes:

• Many newsrooms independently established the fact → genuinely strong evidence
• One press release, wire story, or study got reprinted 40 times → one source

Search results look identical in both cases. This tells them apart.

Usage

uv run scripts/coverage.py "<query>" [--timespan 3m] [--max 250] [--sort dateasc] [--timeout 120] [--json]
