Factually is an adverb doing the work of a mission statement. It says how the thing is done rather than what it is, which is an unusual and effective position for a publication.
Fact-checking has become a permanent function of journalism rather than an occasional feature, with dedicated organisations, international networks, and methodology standards. The field is also under constant attack, which makes credibility signalling more important, not less.
The name fits a fact-checking operation, a verification tool, a claims database, a media literacy project, or a research newsletter. It’s short for the category, warm rather than austere, and it avoids the slightly defensive tone that names with “truth” or “check” in them carry.
One word, nine letters, no hyphen, and it’s spelled the way anyone would guess. The .net reads fine for a platform or network, and fact-checking is increasingly done by networks rather than single outlets.
