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.

Genji — Genji's age is not 37; according to Overwatch lore, he is 35 as of the game's timeline.
Genji — The relationship between Genji and Hanzo was not inspired by the cooking documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi; that is a fabricated claim with no basis in established canon.
Widowmaker — The entry states Widowmaker first appeared in a cinematic trailer at the 2014 BlizzCon event, but she did not appear in that trailer; she first appeared in the 'Alive' animated short in April 2016.
Widowmaker — The entry claims she first appeared in a cinematic trailer trying to steal a gauntlet belonging to Talon's imprisoned leader, Doomfist, but that event is from the 'Recall' animated short, not from the 2014 BlizzCon trailer.
Winston — The entry states Winston invented the chronal accelerator that helped Tracer maintain control of her time, but in canon it was invented by Dr. Liao; Winston only designed and built the stabilizing device for Tracer.
Winston — The entry says Overwatch was disbanded before the Petras Act was passed following the Venice incident, which is correct; the flag incorrectly claims Overwatch was disbanded years before the Venice incident, but the entry's timeline is accurate.
Pharah — The claim that Pharah later joins the restored peace-keeping force Overwatch alongside her mother and childhood friend is not established in canon.
Pharah — The claim that Pharah was included in Overwatch Rush, a mobile game announced in 2021 and developed by Blizzard, is incorrect; Overwatch Rush was never released or officially announced.
Overwatch — The claim that Overwatch was founded by Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes is incorrect; the organization was founded by the United Nations, with Morrison and Reyes being early members and later leaders, not founders.
Overwatch — The statement that omnics like Zenyatta, Bastion, and Orisa joined Overwatch 'much later' is misleading; Zenyatta and Orisa were never official members of Overwatch, and Bastion was not a member during the organization's active years.
Overwatch Task Force — The 'Key Founders' stat lists only Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes, but established canon also includes Ana Amari as a founding member of Overwatch.
Overwatch Task Force — The 'Operational Era' stat says 'Post-Omnic Crisis to Present,' but Overwatch was officially dissolved for several years before being reformed, so it was not continuously active from the post-Omnic Crisis era to the present.
Omnic Crisis — The entry states Overwatch operated for roughly 30 years total including the Crisis period, and its disbandment occurred about 30 years after the Crisis ended. This is contradictory: canonically, Overwatch was founded during the Crisis and disbanded about 30 y
Omnic Crisis — The entry says the game's present day is around 60 years after the Crisis began (roughly 2076). Canonically, the Crisis began in the 2050s and the game's present is around 2076, so it is about 20-25 years after the Crisis ended, not 60 years after it began.
Doomfist Dynasty — The entry states that Amadi Ogundimu funded the original gauntlet, but canon indicates the gauntlet was created by the Adeyemi family, not funded by Amadi.
Doomfist Dynasty — The entry claims Amadi Ogundimu was a former Overwatch ally who funded the original gauntlet, but canon shows he did not fund the original gauntlet; it was originally created by the first Doomfist, Akinjide Adeyemi.
