This is more a communication standard than a complicated tech solution. A communication standard for fact checks from public primary sources.

Coding this wasn't actually that complicated, figuring out a design that enables readers to review the fact checking as easily as possible and enables fact checkers to collaborate easily took a lot of experimentation though. Although even that is still very much a work in progress.

Exactly. I would just appreciate footnotes in the articles I read that gave a detailed explanation of how much fact checking was done.

That way if a story needs to be expanded upon at a later date, the next journalist can dig deeper easily picking up the trail where the previous journalist left off.
