Names built on “truth” or “check” carry a slightly defensive tone, which is a handicap for an organisation whose whole value depends on reading as neutral. This one avoids it.
Factually is an adverb doing the work of a mission statement. It says how the thing is done rather than what it is, which is an unusual and effective position for a publication.
Fact-checking is now a permanent function of journalism rather than an occasional feature, with dedicated organisations, international networks and methodology standards, and it operates under constant attack, which makes credibility signalling more important rather than less.
The name suits a fact-checking operation, a verification tool, a claims database, a media literacy project, or a research newsletter. The .net reads fine for a platform or network, and this work is increasingly done by networks rather than single outlets.
One word, nine letters, no hyphen, spelled exactly as anyone would guess.
