Our method /

How we verify technology news

How we separate documented facts, a maker’s claims, and the questions that remain open.

Verify the claim, not just the link.

A working link does not prove a headline. For each substantive claim, we record what the source supports, when it was checked, and what remains uncertain.

An official announcement can establish that a product was announced. It does not independently establish a performance or safety claim. We keep that distinction in both languages.

Three labels, used carefully.

Verified: evidence supports the specific statement. Claimed: a source makes the assertion, but adequate supporting evidence is missing. Unverified: we could not establish it, and explain why.

Only verified news is eligible for the future social publishing queue. Editorials describe our own approach; they are not labeled as verified news.

Correct the record.

When we find a factual error, we correct the article and explain the material change. A serious error pauses the affected publishing flow while we investigate.
