## What is Ground Truth?

Ground Truth finds out why your Wi-Fi or internet feels slow, before you spend money on a router, a mesh system or a new modem you may not need. When the problem is your internet provider, it helps you prove it and get it fixed.

FIND THE REAL CAUSE
Ground Truth tests each part of your connection on its own: the Wi-Fi in each room, your router, your modem, your provider's network and DNS. The diagnosis names the most likely cause, says how confident it is, and lists what it has ruled out. It also tells you when a common guess, such as "I need mesh", doesn't match what was measured.

DON'T BUY ANYTHING YET
Free fixes come first: moving the router, changing a channel or band, changing DNS, a better cable, a router setting. Check them off, and Ground Truth measures again to show whether it worked. New hardware is suggested only when a measurement shows it would help, with a rough price range and no brands.

SEE YOUR WI-FI, ROOM BY ROOM
Walk through your home holding your iPhone or iPad. On devices with LiDAR, Ground Truth draws the floor plan as you go. Without LiDAR, walk anyway or use a PDF or photo of your floor plan. The map shows where your Wi-Fi is great, poor or dead, stopped at the walls, and which rooms are ready for video calls, gaming and 4K.

WATCH IT FOR DAYS ON YOUR MAC
Leave Ground Truth running on a Mac and it records every dropout and slowdown, even with the window closed. See when your connection struggles by hour and day, spot router restarts, and read your cable modem's signal levels and errors.

GET YOUR PROVIDER TO FIX IT
When the trouble is past your router, Ground Truth gathers the evidence and writes the message for you: a chat opener, a full email and a phone script, filled in from your measurements. It keeps a log of every contact, reminds you to follow up, tells you when to escalate, and exports an evidence pack as a PDF and spreadsheet.
