About Truth Evades
Truth Evades exists because bad audio forensic analysis has real consequences. When someone with a spectrogram and a YouTube channel presents flawed methodology as definitive proof, it shapes public perception — sometimes with serious implications.
We apply rigorous, reproducible methods rooted in acoustic science and signal processing. Every analysis we publish includes full methodology documentation so that our conclusions can be independently verified or challenged.
PRINCIPLES
- [1] Reproducibility. If you can't replicate it, it's not forensics — it's speculation.
- [2] Methodology first. The technique must be valid before the conclusion can be.
- [3] Open source intelligence. Work with publicly available data. Show your work.
- [4] No narrative. Follow the signal, not a theory. If the data contradicts the hypothesis, the hypothesis is wrong.
- [5] Acknowledge uncertainty. State confidence levels. Distinguish between what the data shows and what it suggests.
Background
This project draws on expertise in acoustic analysis, digital signal processing, and open-source intelligence techniques. Tools used include Praat, Audacity, custom Python analysis scripts (scipy, librosa, numpy), and geospatial tools for acoustic multilateration.
