+```
+
+**Impact**: Fixed sharing functionality and database persistence
+
+## 📊 Performance Characteristics
+
+### Model Loading
+- **First run**: ~30-60 seconds (downloads models)
+- **Subsequent runs**: ~5-10 seconds (cached models)
+- **Memory usage**: ~2GB RAM for both models
+
+### API Response Times
+- **Simple claims**: 3-8 seconds
+- **Complex claims**: 8-15 seconds
+- **Bottlenecks**: Web scraping and model inference
+
+### Scalability Considerations
+- **Stateless design** for horizontal scaling
+- **SQLite for development** (recommend PostgreSQL for production)
+- **Model caching** reduces cold start times
+

+## Deployment
+
+### Railway Deployment (Recommended)
+
+This project is configured for one-click deployment on Railway:
+
+1. **Fork this repository** on GitHub
+2. **Connect to Railway**:
+   - Go to [Railway](https://railway.app)
+   - Click "Deploy from GitHub repo"
+   - Select your fork
+3. **Set environment variables** in Railway dashboard:
+   - `SERPER_API_KEY`: Your Serper API key (get from [serper.dev](https://serper.dev))
+4. **Deploy automatically** - Railway uses `Procfile` and `runtime.txt`
+
+The app will be live at your Railway-provided URL (e.g., `https://your-app.up.railway.app`)
+
+### Manual Deployment
+
+For other platforms, the project includes:
+- `Procfile`: `web: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT`
+- `runtime.txt`: `python-3.11.9`
+- `requirements.txt`: All dependencies with versions
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `SERPER_API_KEY`: **Required** - Get from [serper.dev](https://serper.dev)
+- `DATABASE_URL`: Optional - SQLite database path (default: `./factcheck.db`)
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the comprehensive test suite (18 tests covering all components):
+
+```bash
+# Install test dependencies
+pip install pytest
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Expected output: 18 tests passed
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- API endpoints and response formats
+- ML pipeline components (search, NLP, logic)
+- Database operations and JSON serialization
+- Error handling and edge cases
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Pipeline Flow
+1. **Claim Input**: User submits claim via web UI or API
+2. **Web Search**: Serper API searches for relevant sources
+3. **Content Extraction**: Multi-strategy scraping of source content
+4. **Relevance Filtering**: Sentence embeddings rank source relevance
+5. **Fact Verification**: DeBERTa model performs natural language inference
+6. **Verdict Aggregation**: Confidence-weighted averaging of individual verdicts
+7. **Post Generation**: AI creates shareable social media content
+8. **Result Storage**: SQLite database saves results with unique share IDs
+
+### Key Features
+- **Domain Deduplication**: Prevents bias from multiple sources from same domain
+- **Confidence Scoring**: ML-based confidence estimation for verdicts
+- **Robust Error Handling**: Graceful degradation when sources fail to load
+- **JSON Serialization**: Proper handling of Pydantic models for database storage
+- **HTMX Integration**: Dynamic UI updates without JavaScript build complexity
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**"No search results found"**
+- Check your `SERPER_API_KEY` is set correctly
+- Verify the claim is in English and well-formed
+
+**"Model loading errors"**
+- Ensure you have sufficient disk space (~2GB for models)
+- Models download automatically on first run
+
+**"Database errors"**
+- Check write permissions in the app directory
+- SQLite database is created automatically
+
+### Development Notes
+
+**Pydantic v2 Compatibility**: The project uses `model_dump(mode='json')` for proper URL serialization when saving to database.
+
+**Model Caching**: Transformer models are cached locally after first download. Subsequent runs are much faster.
+
+**Rate Limiting**: Serper API has rate limits. Consider implementing caching for production use.
