The Evidence Base
Folkefakta investigates no claim without a source a reader can check themselves. This is not a product next to the institution — it is the data every finding in Funn, Hvelvet and Tribunalet draws from: every case, vote, politician, party and promise from the Storting, pulled through the Storting’s own open API.
The data
Every case before the Storting, with an AI analysis of what it actually means.
2 972 in the database
Every vote in the Storting, party by party and representative by representative.
9 292 in the database
Every sitting representative: voting record, absence and promise-keeping.
181 in the database
Each party’s voting pattern, deviations and promise-keeping in one place.
9 in the database
Party platform promises, checked against actual votes.
9 364 in the database
News coverage linked to the actual case it covers.
Cases the government has announced and upcoming hearings — including how to submit a written response yourself.
The limits
Being open about the foundation also means being open about its gaps. Two pages go deeper: the methodology explains exactly how the numbers above are computed and where the weaknesses are, and the data-gap register points at specific public data that is missing or stale — and how you can help close it.
Specific public data that is missing or stale, with an access-request template you can use to ask for it.
How every number is computed, which sources are used, and where the method has weaknesses.
