Sources and verification
- Primary records from developers, publishers, platforms, regulators, filings, and official channels are preferred.
- A source link does not automatically make every claim verified; editors check material facts against the original record.
- Rumors, estimates, and analysis are labeled and are not presented as confirmed facts.
- Anonymous or community claims require additional corroboration before publication.
Intelligence assessments
Dossier scores use a documented lifecycle-aware method, bounded evidence influence, confidence reporting, and dated snapshots. Editorial judgment remains part of the method; the score is an assessment, not an objective promise of quality or commercial performance.
Automation and AI
Automated systems may collect metadata and bounded excerpts from approved first-party feeds. AI may prepare a private working draft from a source-stated fact sheet. An editor must verify, revise, approve, export, and deliberately promote the article before it can become public.
Commercial separation
Advertising is labeled and separated from editorial controls. Sponsors and ad providers cannot purchase a score, suppress a correction, or approve coverage. Material commercial relationships are disclosed near the relevant content.
