Editorial policy
How evidence becomes a reviewed public brief.
Evidence first
Every public article must have a genuine, exact source URL. Material claims are mapped to reviewed facts and sources. Company statements establish what the company said; they do not automatically establish the underlying claim as objective fact.
Fact and analysis
Verified facts, attributed statements, calculations, estimates, inferences, scenarios, opinions, unconfirmed reports, and rumors must remain distinguishable. Headlines cannot be more certain than the evidence.
Human publication decision
Automated monitoring may detect and organize public information, and AI may assist after a human starts a job. Nothing auto-publishes. A named human editor reviews the exact release before a separate publication action.
High-risk claims
Claims involving crime, fraud, corruption, market conduct, misconduct, safety, environmental violations, secret arrangements, or military and intelligence involvement require direct primary support, precise procedural language, a response opportunity where appropriate, and legal review before publication.
