From Digital Chaos to Causal Understanding
Have you ever felt powerless and anxious from the daily flood of news and online information? You see countless headlines, social media posts, and articles, but it’s hard to connect the dots and understand the bigger picture. You have all the pieces, but no way to put them together.
This is the job Inspect was built to do. It’s a tool for rebels—those who refuse to be passive observers and are ready to fight back against a system that wants to keep them isolated and misinformed.
How Inspect Equips You for the Rebellion
Inspect gives you a powerful, structured way to transform scattered information into meaningful, evidence-backed insights. It’s designed to guide you through a simple, but effective process for building your causal understanding of the world.
- Recruit Your Evidence: As you browse the web, you can easily save any article, web page, or online source by its URL. This is how you collect the evidence for your rebellion. This direct link is the foundation of your insight, and you’ll eventually be able to use a single quote about it as a starting point, combining these smaller insights into more complex ones.
- Create Causal Insights: Once saved, you can add this evidence to an existing insight or create a new one. This is how you begin to organize your thinking and create causal insights that connect disparate sources to a clear conclusion.
- Ignite the Rebellion: Your insights are organized in a clear, easy-to-read format. Each insight has a title and a direct link to the evidence, so you can see the whole picture and verify the sources at a glance. We’ll turn your private struggle into a public mission.
