Our incredible supporters have already helped answer 81,000 questions to train up our ‘Stats Checker’ tool, that will help fact checkers and journalists quickly spot inaccurate numbers and dodgy statistics.
But to get the tech working to the best level it can be, we need to get to 250,000.
Can you help us reach our target?
