Bot & coordination analysis

The person you are arguing with
Is not a real person.

BotShark reads an account’s public posts and tells you, in plain English, whether it behaves like a person — with the actual posts as evidence.

Every report says what we looked at, what we couldn't see, and how sure we are.

How a report reads

Three reasons, each with the evidence.

01When it posts

It posted in 22 of the 24 hours last week. The longest break was 3 hours.

Most people go quiet for 6–8 hours overnight.

No overnight gap and no time zone the pattern fits. That's a schedule, or several people working in shifts.

Posts by hour of the day, last 7 days

where most people are asleep — no dip here
midnight6amnoon6pm11pm
Flat all day and all night.
02What it posts

The same post, word for word, 4 times in two weeks.

Most people almost never repeat a post word for word.

Real people vary how they say things, even when they're selling. This account is copying, not writing.

03How it talks to people

80 replies out, 2 back. 6 in 10 replies don't fit the post they're under.

Most people get roughly as many replies as they send.

“So true!!” under a climate paper is an auto-reply, not a reader.

Who it's for

People who’ll be asked “how do you know?”

01 · Evidence you can cite

Journalists

A citable report with a permalink, a date, a ruleset version and the posts it rests on.

For journalists ›02 · Re-run every check

Researchers

The snapshot, the feature vector and every check — download it, re-run it, argue with it.

For researchers ›03 · At feed scale

Moderators

Batch scans, a watchlist, and an API. The badge in your feed for the day-to-day.

For platform teams ›
What we look at

Up to 200 posts and 100 replies from the last 90 days, the conversations under them, and who the account follows and reposts.

What we can't see

Private accounts. Non-English text, for some checks. Anything the platform hides. A first scan can't tell you how followers grew.

How this works

A stack of inspectable rules, added up and capped. The score is how likely, not proof. Each report names the checks that fired.
