What it makes harder to question

The story downplays potential issues with the framework.

How the spin works

The story frames a shift as already underway, inevitable, or broadly accepted so resistance or skepticism feels out of step. Watch for loaded terms such as collaborative, software. The distribution reads as editorial reporting. A pressure point: potential drawbacks.

Spin Types

Every story gets a Spin Verdict: a primary spin type (and secondary when the framing blends), a specific tactic name, and a score for how strongly the narrative is steered. Examples beneath each type are tactics, not separate categories.

The Cushion

— Softens negative news primary

Reframes setbacks, layoffs, delays, losses, or criticism as necessary transitions, efficiency moves, temporary headwinds, or strategic resets — making the downside feel smaller, more acceptable, or less alarming.

Tactics: job-loss softening · restructuring framing · efficiency framing · strategic reset · temporary headwinds

The Shield

— Deflects blame

Shifts responsibility away from the actor — toward regulators, market forces, competitors, bad actors, legacy systems, or abstract risks — while positioning the subject as reactive, responsible, or protective.

Tactics: regulatory blame shift · macroeconomic headwinds · safety framing · bad-actor framing · market-pressure framing

The Hype

— Amplifies future upside

Emphasizes breakthrough potential, massive growth, democratization, transformation, or category disruption while downplaying uncertainty, cost, adoption risk, or timeline friction.

Tactics: innovation framing · democratization · breakthrough framing · category creation · moonshot framing

The Halo

— Associates with virtue

Wraps the story in public-good language — responsibility, safety, inclusion, access, sustainability, national interest, or mission — so the subject appears morally aligned and criticism feels harder to make.

Tactics: altruistic reframing · public good · responsible AI framing · inclusion framing · mission-first framing

The Fog

— Obscures details

Uses jargon, passive voice, vague claims, complex phrasing, or missing specifics to make it harder to identify who decided what, what changed, what failed, or what trade-offs were made.

Tactics: strategic ambiguity · jargon saturation · passive voice distancing · accountability blur · undefined metrics

The Stampede

— Creates inevitability

Frames a trend, product, market shift, or decision as already happening, unavoidable, or something everyone must respond to now — creating urgency, FOMO, and pressure to accept the narrative.

Tactics: arms-race framing · inevitability framing · FOMO framing · adoption momentum · future-is-here framing

Spin Score measures how strongly the framing steers the narrative (0–100%). Higher scores mean more deliberate spin tactics — loaded language, selective emphasis, or omitted context. Many stories blend two types (e.g. Halo + Hype).

Frame Strength Signals

Frame Strength decomposes the overall spin into individual signals. Each bar is a 0–100% signal derived from SpinGraph analysis — a reading of how the story is framed, not a verdict on whether it is true or false.

Reading the ranges

Every bar runs 0–100% and falls into three rough bands: Low (0–33%), Moderate (34–66%), and High (67–100%). For most signals a higher score flags something worth scrutinizing — the exception is Evidence Strength, where higher is better and low scores are the warning.

Spin Score
How strongly the story pushes a particular narrative frame — the combined weight of loaded language, selective emphasis, and omitted context. 0% reads as neutral reporting; higher means more deliberate spin.
  • 0–33% Low — Largely neutral reporting; little detectable framing.
  • 34–66% Moderate — Noticeable slant — the story leans a particular way.
  • 67–100% High — Heavily framed; the angle drives the piece.
Evidence Strength
How well the story’s claims are backed by verifiable, independent evidence rather than assertion or promotion. Higher is stronger. Low scores flag claims that rest on the source’s own word.
  • 0–33% Weak — Claims rest mostly on assertion or a single interested source.
  • 34–66% Mixed — Some verifiable backing, but key claims are thinly sourced.
  • 67–100% Strong — Well supported by independent, checkable evidence.
Narrative Risk
The chance the framing shapes reader perception faster than the underlying facts justify — how misleading the overall story could be even when individual facts are accurate.
  • 0–33% Low — Framing stays close to what the facts support.
  • 34–66% Moderate — Framing outruns the facts in places — read with care.
  • 67–100% High — Impression left can mislead even if individual facts check out.
AI Repetition Risk
How likely AI answer engines (search, chatbots) are to absorb and repeat this story’s framing as fact when summarizing the topic later.
  • 0–33% Low — Framing is unlikely to propagate through AI summaries.
  • 34–66% Moderate — Some risk the slant gets echoed as fact.
  • 67–100% High — Framing is sticky and likely to be repeated as fact.
Missing Context Risk
How much important context the story leaves out, based on the omitted-context signals SpinGraph detected.
  • 0–33% Low — Little material context appears to be omitted.
  • 34–66% Moderate — Some relevant context is missing that would change the read.
  • 67–100% High — Key context is left out, skewing the takeaway.
Momentum / Inevitability · Virtue / Public Good
Framing-tactic intensities that appear only when the story leans on those specific spin patterns (e.g. “the future is already here” or “this is for the public good”).
  • 0–33% Low — The tactic is barely present.
  • 34–66% Moderate — The tactic shapes part of the framing.
  • 67–100% High — The tactic is a dominant part of the pitch.

Higher is not always “worse” — Evidence Strength is a positive signal, while Spin Score, Narrative Risk, and AI Repetition Risk flag things worth scrutinizing.
