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

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 primary

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).
