Comparison
Athena Index vs Aleta Index
Both use the phrase credibility infrastructure. They measure different things. Athena scores a named person across their own claim history. Aleta scores sources and narratives for machine consumption.
Athena Index
Entity-level credibility. The unit is a named public figure, scored on the claims they personally made.
Aleta Index
Source-level narrative intelligence. The unit is a source or a narrative, scored for AI agents and ML systems.
The difference in one paragraph
The difference is the unit of measurement. Athena's record is per person: what this named individual claimed, when, what happened, and whether they acknowledged the outcome. You can open one entity and read every claim it ever made with the source attached.
Aleta positions around narrative intelligence and a dynamic source credibility index, aimed at AI agents and ML systems consuming feeds. That answers how reliable is this source, not how reliable is this person over three years of public calls.
If your diligence question names a person, Athena is built for it. If your question names a feed or a narrative, it is not.

When Aleta Index is the better choice
If you are scoring information sources programmatically inside an ML pipeline, rather than doing diligence on identifiable individuals, a source-level index is the closer fit. Athena is not designed to rate publications or feeds.
Common questions
Is Athena Index a competitor to Aleta Index?
They share category language but not a unit of measurement. Athena scores named individuals on their own claim history. Aleta scores sources and narratives for AI systems. A team could plausibly use both for different questions.
Can I try either product right now?
Athena Index is free and open with no account: you can search any of the tracked entities and read their full claim history immediately. Aleta Index operates a waitlist at time of writing.
Which one gives me evidence I can show a committee?
Athena links every claim to its original source with a timestamp and shows how the score was reached across six pillars, so the reasoning is auditable rather than a single opaque number.
