PositionTrace is a verbatim quote database for public figures and organizations.
Every entry is an exact, unedited statement pulled directly from its original source — a tweet, a speech, a press release. Nothing is paraphrased, summarized, or interpreted.
What makes it useful is the structure. Each statement is manually curated and tagged with a specific topic and a precise position — the actual stance the quote represents. That means you can search not just by who said something, but by what they were talking about and where they stood on it. Every tag is chosen by a human, not generated.
The problem we’re solving is simple: public figures say a lot, and the internet forgets fast. Statements get walked back, reframed, or buried. PositionTrace keeps them exactly as they were said — permanently searchable by person, topic, and stance.
Not a news site. Not a fact-checker. A structured, human-curated record of exactly what was said, by whom, and what it meant.
