Loop Checks
Quizzes and interactives that teach AI literacy — how models differ, how to spot hype, and where you sit in all of it. Fun, but honest: every check shows its reasoning and points you at the real coverage.
Loop Checks are a lighter way into a serious newsroom. They run entirely in your browser — no account, no saved answers, nothing sent anywhere.
Think newspaper games desk, not quiz farm. Each one is built to teach something true and route you toward the coverage behind it.

A note on method: Loop Checks never store your answers, never claim to be benchmarks, and never invent sources. Results are directional — a starting point, not a verdict.
