TruthQuotient: Building Authentification Software
Project overview: Authentification software
Truth Quotient builds Authentification software to help people evaluate digital information using data harvesting, linguistics, and logical analysis. Maxiom developed the product with them: front end, back end, and about eight months of daily engineering.
About Truth Quotient
Truth Quotient builds software to help people communicate more clearly and think critically about digital information. Its product, Authentification, uses data harvesting, linguistics, and logical analysis so a reader can judge the information in front of them. Researchers, academics, and journalists are among the people it is built for.
The challenge: too much information to judge by hand
Digital communication is constant, and the volume of it gets in the way of deciding what is reliable. Truth Quotient's mission is to improve how people communicate, on the idea that trust comes from the quality of that communication. Authentification is the tool they built for that problem.
The product had to analyze language and the logic of a piece of content, and it had to be something a person who is not a specialist can use.
What we built
Maxiom developed Authentification with Truth Quotient. The work was full-stack. On the front end we built an interface meant to be clear for people with different levels of technical comfort. On the back end we built the processing the analysis depends on. We also consulted on which capabilities belonged in the product and how it should be aimed at the people using it.
From January through August 2023, a Maxiom developer worked with Truth Quotient every day, for about eight months, on the custom software. Maxiom's team was up to 7 people, including design and QA engineers. Program management kept the scope of that development defined. Meetings ran two or three times a week, with daily messages on the tasks.
We delivered the product. Truth Quotient was in sales with it, and both teams kept refining the software daily after delivery.
What the software is for
- Language and logic. Authentification applies linguistic analysis and logical analysis to digital content, along with data harvesting.
- Built for the reader. The interface has to work for someone evaluating a source, including researchers and journalists.
- A product that shipped. The software was delivered and taken to market, then refined in daily development after that.
Software for language, and the team to build it
Need a team to build software that reads language? We can take the product, the build, and the backend. If you need more people on the team, we can add staff augmentation.
