# How to Verify Historical Claims with ChatGPT

ChatGPT makes web archive research accessible by narrating the history of a website in clear, structured summaries that non-technical stakeholders can understand. Ask about a domain or specific page, and receive a timeline of changes with context explaining what shifted, when it happened, and why it might matter for your investigation. The explanatory approach is ideal for teams preparing competitive analyses, compliance reviews, or due diligence reports where the audience needs to understand historical web content without sifting through raw snapshots.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Check if this page existed in the Wayback Machine on the claimed date using web-archive"
3. ChatGPT verifies whether the page was archived at that time
4. Request: "Compare the current page with the archived version"
5. ChatGPT identifies differences between versions

## Example Prompt

```
Verify whether company.com/terms had the same refund policy in 2023 as it does now. Check the Wayback Machine for evidence.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can clearly articulate differences between archived and current versions
- Ask for a timestamped evidence summary suitable for documentation
- Request multiple snapshots to establish a pattern of changes over time
