One report, many reposts
I built my OSINT workflow to follow developing events without repeatedly reading the same report. Grouping related coverage helps, but the number of posts in a group cannot tell me how many independent accounts support its claims.
A report can spread through quotations, screenshots and rewritten summaries. Each post may add another place where the claim appears without adding another source for what happened.
Keep the origin of the claim
My collection workflow retains references to the material it gathers. Those references matter when assessing whether two reports depend on the same original account. A different headline or publisher does not settle that question.
A separate account can add evidence, but it still needs examination. I want to know when its material was recorded and whether it describes the same event. A later publication date does not necessarily mean the material is newer.
What grouping establishes
Grouping organizes related reports for a reader. It does not establish that a claim is true. A summary needs to preserve a disagreement or unresolved detail when the supporting material does not settle it.
The website shows a limited public feed with posts and available media from the last hour. Source references remain in the private workflow; the public view does not expose the full evidence record. Its collection boundary and demonstration labels should make that limitation clear.
