We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.
Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-20 · 30 entries checked · 8 flagged · 17 issues confirmed · 8 corrected · 9 still open
Borma — The entry claims Borma does not appear in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, but Borma is a real character in the series, appearing as a member of Section 9 in Stand Alone Complex and other Ghost in the Shell media.
Borma — The entry states Borma is a fabricated character with no affiliation, role, first appearance, or status, but in canon, Borma is a cyborg operative of Public Security Section 9, first appearing in the original Ghost in the Shell manga and later in Stand Alone C
Laughing Man Case — The entry states the Laughing Man 'is a victim of the cyberbrain virus that caused the incident' and that his primary motive is revenge; in canon, he was a witness to medical malpractice and his motive was to expose the truth, not revenge.
Laughing Man Case — The entry claims the Laughing Man 'is later implied to have been killed by the Major'; in canon, he is allowed to escape by Section 9 and his fate is left ambiguous, not killed by the Major.
Tachikoma Network Consciousness — The claim that 'Tachikoma' is a portmanteau of 'tachikoma' (a type of spider) and 'koma' (top/spinning top) is incorrect; the name is actually derived from 'tachi' (standing) and 'koma' (top/spinning top), not from a spider name.
Tachikoma Network Consciousness — The entry states the Tachikomas 'did not merge fully or pass on in a permanent, singular sense' in Solid State Society, but in canon they did fully merge into a single collective consciousness and passed on (sacrificed themselves), leaving only a single surviv
Artificial Intelligence Sentience — The 'Did You Know' section incorrectly states that Tachikomas appear in the 1995 film; they do not, as they are introduced in the 2002 TV series Stand Alone Complex.
Artificial Intelligence Sentience — The 'Did You Know' section incorrectly states that the Puppet Master in the 1995 film is given a human-like or anthropomorphic representation; its true form is a program, and it appears as a disembodied voice or a female cyborg body, not as a human-like repres
Laughing Man Code — The Laughing Man incident does not continue into the second season through 'dual' episodes; the second season's main plot is the Individual Eleven, and the Laughing Man storyline is resolved in the first season.
The Laughing Man — The Laughing Man symbol was a digital watermark used to tag his actions, not a logo for a cyberbrain virus.
The Laughing Man — The Laughing Man incident was triggered by a real physical tragedy (botched eye surgery that killed a child), not purely cyber-terrorism.
Innocence (2004) — The AI is not named 'Hadaly' or 'Yakuza AI'; the gynoids are called 'Hadaly', and the AI is a separate entity (the 'Kim' unit) that hacks them, not the controller of Locus Solus's gynoids.
Arise: Border 4 - Alternative Architecture — The entry treats the TV re-edit 'Alternative Architecture' as a separate installment that closes a season, but it is a compilation of all four OVAs; the OVA 'Border 4' itself is where Section 9 is formed.
Arise: Border 4 - Alternative Architecture — The entry inconsistently refers to the TV re-edit as a single OVA installment (e.g., 'this installment,' 'this OVA') when it should consistently describe it as a compilation.
