Start with the claim, then test it.
Use this path to test the frame instead of skimming a dense record: start with signals, check receipts, name what is unresolved, then look for repairs.

Signals to watch
- Coverage that mentions fathers only as risks, absences, or payment sources.
- Policy stories where funding, vendors, enforcement markets, or advocacy incentives are not named.
- Headlines that erase children’s relationship losses while centering institutional language.
Receipts to collect
- Original studies, official statistics, budget lines, and policy texts behind a public claim.
- Funding disclosures, grant announcements, charity filings, lobbying records, and vendor contracts.
- Corrections, caveats, and counter-evidence from credible primary sources.
Open questions
- What would a reader believe after the headline, and what would they know after the sources?
- Who benefits from the frame and who is made invisible?
Repair paths
- Publish source checks that separate fact, frame, omission, and unknown.
- Attach a money-trail note when funding or service markets shape the public story.

Narrative funding and omission map
Media, research, advocacy, campaigns, NGOs, universities, and public agencies all shape which family stories travel. The trail asks who funds the frame and what the frame leaves out.
Funding disclosure is not proof of dishonesty. It is context readers deserve when narratives shape law, budgets, or family life.
