Built for

Independent eyes on public discourse

One dashboard, four lenses. Pick yours.

For Journalists

Sourcing leads, not opinions.

  • ›Spot divergence between citizen sentiment and official statements before it breaks.
  • ›Pull defensible 0–100 scores with sample sizes and timestamps into your story.
  • ›Track regions where independent reporting is hardest to verify.

Why X

X currently offers the most open access to unfiltered public discussion at global scale. That makes it the best available proxy for the public square — particularly in countries where state media dominates the official record.

The unexamined narrative is not worth believing.

The stack

Public posts from the X API are reasoned over by xAI's Grok and written straight into Supabase as the single source of truth — no hand-edited numbers, no other models in the loop.

Running Elenchos has real costs: xAI, Grok, X API, infrastructure, and ongoing research. Sponsoring a topic directly funds those expenses and keeps the work independent.
