Instead of checking one claim at a time, the new version brings the many variations of the same false story together into a single narrative - and shows its reach, its spread across countries and how it evolves over time.
The same disinformation almost never appears just once. One piece of disinformation gets reworded, translated and re-posted across hundreds of articles and channels. The old version looked at each of those as a separate claim. The new version recognises that they're all really the same story, and automatically groups them together into one "narrative." So instead of thousands of scattered claims, you see the handful of false stories that are actually circulating - each one with its reach, the countries it spreads to, and a timeline of how it changes over time.
