The Scanner · Field Instrument

Pattern Scanner

Paste any text (a news article, a politician's statement, a pastor's sermon, a corporate email) and the engine detects manipulation patterns in the rhetoric. It does not determine truth. It names the shape of what is being said.

How the scanner works

The engine scans your text against 100+ named manipulation patterns from the Deceit Register. Each pattern has detectable signals: specific phrases, rhetorical structures, and framing techniques.

When signals match, the engine scores the confidence, identifies the narrative type (defensive framing, crisis management, authority shielding, etc.), and determines who materially benefits from the framing.

The analysis runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server. The scanner is the same engine that powers the editorial desk, made available as a public tool.

The scanner detects patterns, not truth. A true claim inside a manipulative frame is still manipulation. A false claim without pattern signals is not what this tool catches. Use the scanner for what it is: a lens for the shape of rhetoric, not a verdict on the facts.
