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.

Apple TV+ — The entry claims The Wall Street Journal released an op-ed regarding the show's production schedule and strategy, but no such op-ed exists in the public record.
Diana Taverner — The claim that Taverner tasked a former Slow Horse to infiltrate Sons of Albion as a publicity stunt is inaccurate; the infiltrator was a current Slow Horse and the operation was a sting to prevent a kidnapping.
Diana Taverner — The claim that Taverner convinced a discontented Slough House officer with a background in international espionage to plan an assassination attempt on Hobden is inaccurate; the officer was Sid Baker, a current Slow Horse without that specific background.
The Circus — The entry states that The Circus is the central hub for MI5 and that Slough House agents remain employed by MI5, but in the Slow Horses canon, The Circus is MI6, not MI5, and Slough House agents are MI5 rejects, not MI6 rejects.
The Circus — The entry claims the former head is called 'First Desk' and lists Control, Ingrid Tearney, and Diana Taverner as examples. In canon, 'First Desk' is the title for the head of MI5, not the head of The Circus (MI6); the head of The Circus is called 'Control'.
Slough House — Min Harper was relegated for losing a tail on a suspect, not for leaving a laptop on a train.
Mick Herron — The entry claims 'no collection titled All the Livelong Day exists' — this is a factual error because a collection titled All the Livelong Day does exist (published in 2024 by Baskerville, a John Murray imprint).
Slow Horses Novel — The entry states the first five series have adapted the novels Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Real Tigers, Spook Street, and London Rules, but the fifth series based on London Rules has not yet been released.
Slow Horses Novel — The entry claims the series has been renewed for a seventh series based on Bad Actors, but no official announcement of a seventh series renewal exists as of early 2025.
Season Two Arc — The entry describes the plot and production of '1923', not 'Slow Horses'
Season Two Arc — The entry claims the second season was announced in February 2023, but 'Slow Horses' season two was announced in December 2021 and released in December 2022
The Adversary Novel — The entry calls the dossier 'The Adversary Effect', but in the show it is simply a classified MI5 file on 'The Adversary' (a Russian agent), not a titled manuscript.
The Adversary Novel — The entry claims the dossier is 'attributed to Jackson Lamb' as an author, but in the show it is a classified MI5 file about Lamb's past operations, not a manuscript written by Lamb.
