Tinfoil is a creative studio focused on creating tools and methods for fact-checking and (digital) investigation units.
We create custom, tailor-made solutions to help teams analyse, sift through and visualise (dis)information more intelligently and effectively.
Although we are relatively young, we have more than a decade's worth of experience working with media and civil society. Our expertise includes:
Everything is kind of possible and we have fun solving puzzles and going beyond the limits.
Very often, solving problems or providing solutions are a combination of being able to do new things and seeing things differently. Our methods express a different way of representing and understanding the digital reality.
We are all self-taught in computer skills: most of us pursued a formal education in social sciences instead (philosophy, anthropology, sociology, journalism etc).
Our tools in general are manufactured based on our clients' specific needs. They usually end up being useful for others, too. We are happy to share them!
