FAQ
Short answers about what LogicLens does, what it does not do, and how to read its analysis.
LogicLens is a reasoning checker for the web. It helps readers spot weak logic, loaded language, missing context, and persuasive framing in articles, blog posts, essays, and social posts.
No. LogicLens is not a replacement for fact-checking. It checks how an argument is built, while fact checkers verify whether specific claims are true.
No. LogicLens is designed to be non-partisan. It focuses on reasoning quality and rhetorical pressure, not on declaring a political winner.
LogicLens is built for web content where reasoning and framing matter, including news articles, opinion pieces, blog posts, essays, and social media posts.
The LogicLens score is a 0 to 100 neutrality-oriented score for eligible article and blog content. It goes down when more of the text is covered by scoreable issues, especially higher-severity issues.
Some topics naturally contain more charged claims, quotations, and conflict. A lower score does not automatically mean the author is dishonest. It means the piece deserves closer reading, especially compared with other coverage of the same topic.
Yes. LogicLens takes user privacy seriously. The product is designed to request only the data needed to make the extension and web app work, and we follow Chrome Web Store policies, applicable privacy laws, and strict data-handling standards.
We do not want a product that quietly collects more than it needs. In many cases, collecting or using personal data beyond disclosed, necessary product purposes would violate platform rules or privacy law anyway. More importantly, it would violate the point of LogicLens.
Yes. LogicLens has a free tier, plus paid Plus and Pro tiers for higher usage.
No. LogicLens is a second set of eyes, not a final authority. It's like having a wise philosopher on speed dial as you browse.
The algorithm feeds off our emotions; LogicLens decreases that manipulation by providing a 24/7, rules-based, stubbornly apolitical lens on the information tsunami we all navigate every day.
This is a complex question. The short answer is that LogicLens is built from human language and human judgment, but it operates inside systems designed to maximize objectivity. Logic, rhetorical analysis, verifiability, and principles borrowed from analytical methods like the scientific method can make the analysis far less biased than ordinary human interpretation.
LogicLens is not biased in the way most people use the word: favoring a political party, tribe, or ideology. Its bias is toward neutral rhetorical analysis and truth-seeking. We are also incentivized to keep it that way. If LogicLens becomes obviously partial or sloppy, it loses its reason to exist.
LogicLens does not claim to eliminate bias. That is arguably impossible. Instead, it highlights potential signs of bias by looking for non-partisan patterns such as loaded language, logical fallacies, rhetorical devices, missing context, and many other categories. Those signals can indicate bias because they are often used to advance a point of view, but they are not a verdict by themselves.
We maximize neutrality through apolitical, rules-based analysis, by minimizing subjective evaluation where possible, and by being transparent about how the analysis works. In Deep Analysis mode, the Objectivity feature also labels whether an insight is objective or verifiable versus a matter of interpretation you can reasonably disagree with.
So LogicLens is not a tool that floats above human language with perfect objectivity. It is a tool built on the best systems humans have for pursuing truth: logic, text analysis, rhetorical analysis, and the distinction between what can be verified and what remains interpretive.
LogicLens is self-funded and customer-funded alone. No funding we take will ever compromise the mission or principles behind the product. The moment LogicLens becomes imprecise or partial, we give up our business case and our value to users.
