We show how messages are constructed

Project

spin.clinic helps readers understand how public statements are constructed. Dr. Spin analyses specific messages from politicians: it identifies persuasion techniques, quotes the material and checks claims against sources. The same rules apply to the governing camp and the opposition. Alongside the Clinic, we organise links to news, documents and recordings, always with the source name, date and a link to the original. We present AI findings with their limitations so that readers can check them and form their own views. We also publish selected diagnoses as posts, graphics and short videos on social media - always with a link to the full analysis. The project is in beta and is being developed in stages.

The service is operated by iapply sp. z o.o., pl. Wolności 16, 61-739 Poznań, KRS 0001133291, NIP 7831915094, REGON 529962488.

Funding and independence

The project is funded by its operator, iapply sp. z o.o., with support from readers. We pay for the X API, paid stages of AI analysis, transcription and running the service; some tasks operate within services' free usage limits.

We do not accept money from political parties, politicians or their foundations. Donations confer no influence over the selection of material or the outcome of a diagnosis. We have no advertising or sponsors influencing the content. Project costs and support (in Polish).

We also automatically publish diagnoses with the highest spin strength outside the website - always with a link to the full analysis and sources, without tagging politicians.
