The mission
News, weighed in the open. Texts, laid side by side.
The truth has been scattered over the millennia, and no single canon holds the whole. JZABL reports the news, sets passages from different traditions next to each other, cited on both sides of the join, and lets you see the pattern.
“It finds the patterns and the similarities.”

The method, in brief
Full method →Weights in the open.
Every story is scored 0–100, and the breakdown is printed with it. You can see why a story ranks where it does.
Texts side by side.
Passages from different traditions sit next to each other, each labelled and cited. Primary texts outrank commentary. We show the pattern. We never declare a winner.
It never bluffs.
No citation, no claim. “We haven't reported that yet” is a complete answer.
A human approves.
The desk drafts. An editor approves every story before it runs. Nothing auto-publishes.
