Editorial policy

Sourcing

We build stories from primary sources first: company announcements, official blogs, research papers, regulator filings and product pages. We add independent sources where possible and list the sources on every article. Rumours and leaks are labelled as rumours.

Original writing

We write in our own words. We do not copy or lightly reword other publishers. Quotations are short and attributed.

How we use AI

Some articles are researched and first drafted with AI assistance. Articles that were drafted this way carry the note "Researched with AI assistance and checked against the cited sources". Every article is reviewed by a human editor before it is published, and key claims are checked against the cited sources. AI does not publish on its own judgement for sensitive topics such as security vulnerabilities, legal matters or finance.

Real, Mixed or Hype

Real means the claim holds up against the evidence. Mixed means part of it holds up. Hype means the claim is not supported. The verdict reflects the evidence we found at the time of writing.

What we do not cover

We do not give medical, legal, investment or crypto-trading advice. On security stories we explain what happened and how to protect yourself, and we do not publish working exploit steps.

Corrections

We fix mistakes openly. See our corrections policy.

Independence and advertising

Advertising and affiliate links never decide what we cover or what verdict we give. Sponsored and affiliate content is clearly labelled. See the disclosure page.
