How we check AI news before it goes up

Primary sources first

Every article is built on the original announcement: the company's own post, documentation or pricing page, a regulator's page, or a court filing. News outlets are used to confirm, never as the only source for a number.

Every number and quote has a receipt

Each figure, date, price and quotation links to a numbered source in the Receipts list beside the article, with a short passage copied word for word from that page and the date we checked it. Before an article is published, a script fetches every source and confirms that passage is still on the page. If it isn't, the article doesn't publish.

Quotation marks mean word for word

We don't paraphrase inside quotes. Vendor claims, such as speed or benchmark results, are attributed to the vendor as their claim.

What we leave out

Anything we can't confirm on a page we fetched: rumored prices, leaked roadmaps, unconfirmed release dates. When a detail is widely reported but not confirmed by the source, we say that rather than repeat it.

Facts versus analysis

The "What to do with this" box is Brandon Rangel's practical take and is labelled as analysis. Everything above it is reporting.
