01
What InfoScope analyses
Every post is broken down into independent, evidence-based modules. Nothing is a black-box verdict — each signal is shown with its reasoning.
Influence narratives
Matches the post against known influence narratives: demoralization, distrust of institutions, social division, panic and defeatism.
Emotional pressure
Rates fear, anger, anxiety, despair, outrage and urgency — the emotional loading used to bypass critical thinking.
Source quality
Checks anonymity, citations, evidence and factual support. Credibility is scored 0–100; weak sources raise the risk.
FIMI assessment
Evaluates Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference patterns: influence intent, coordination signals and trust erosion.
ABCDE breakdown
Structures the post into Actor, Behaviour, Content, Distribution and Effect — who speaks, how, what is claimed and to what end.
Evidence & checkable claims
Surfaces the concrete claims worth verifying, with short evidence-based explanations rather than a one-word label.

How it works
Three steps, no setup.
- 1
Forward a post to the bot
Send or forward any Telegram message — text or image — to the InfoScope bot. No registration, no profile.
- 2
Tap “Full analysis”
InfoScope runs the post through every module and computes the deterministic risk score in seconds.
- 3
Read the scored breakdown
Open the result in the Mini App: the overall score, each module, the techniques found and the evidence behind them.
03
Transparent, evidence-based scoring
The final score is a deterministic weighted calculation in code — not a free-form model verdict. The same post always yields the same score, and every weight is published.
How the 0–100 score is weighted
Manipulation techniques 30%
Influence narratives 30%
Source risk 20%
Emotional pressure 10%
FIMI assessment 10%
Deterministic by design: computed in code, fully auditable, reproducible.

Frequently asked questions
Is InfoScope free to use?
Yes. InfoScope is a free Telegram bot and Mini App. There are no subscriptions or payments required to analyse a post.
Does InfoScope store the posts I send?
InfoScope keeps an analysis result so it can be reopened via its Mini App link, but it does not require account registration and does not tie posts to your Telegram identity. This landing page uses no third-party analytics.
What is the ABCDE framework for disinformation?
ABCDE structures information influence into five parts: Actor (who is speaking), Behaviour (how the message acts), Content (what is claimed), Distribution (how it spreads) and Effect (what it aims to achieve). InfoScope applies this framework to every analysis.
How is the manipulation risk score calculated?
The overall score (0–100) is a deterministic weighted sum: manipulation techniques 30%, narratives 30%, source risk 20%, emotional pressure 10% and FIMI 10%. Scores 0–39 are low risk, 40–69 medium and 70–100 high.
What is FIMI and why does it matter?
FIMI stands for Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference, as defined by the EU External Action Service. It describes coordinated efforts to manipulate the information environment. InfoScope’s FIMI module weighs manipulation intent, coordination signals, emotional exploitation and trust erosion.
Can InfoScope analyse posts in Ukrainian and Russian?
Yes. InfoScope detects the language of the submitted post and produces its analysis in English, Ukrainian or Russian.
