A three-person team around senior Daily Beast editor Michael Weiss, assigned until 2016 to The Interpreter magazine, was kept on the Voice of America payroll until February 2017 for the then-new website.[3]

As of April 8, 2020, the project employs five people.[4] Investigative journalist, researcher and Russian expert Fatima Tlisova works at Polygraph.info.[5][6]

Of the types of western responses to the challenge of Kremlin media (exposure of Russian disinformation, engagement with endangered populations, enhancement of local media), the site is in the category "exposure of Russian disinformation", next to the Ukrainian StopFake and the European Union EEAS East Strategic Communication Task Force's EU vs Disinfo.[7]

A similar website in Russian language is factograph.info.[8]
