Accountability

How editorial decisions are made

A verification must be reproducible: the claim, evidence, limits and corrections remain visible to the reader.

Evidence first

Primary documents and direct data take precedence. Every material separates facts, interpretation and remaining uncertainty.

Independent review

High-impact or disputed checks require a second editorial review before publication.

Right of reply

Where possible, the person or organization concerned is invited to respond. A refusal or absence of response is recorded without speculation.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected without silently replacing the previous conclusion. The date and substance of a significant correction are shown publicly.

AI assistance

AI may help find sources or prepare a draft, but it never publishes a verdict. Sources and conclusions are checked by an editor.

Translations

Machine translation is never presented as editorially verified. Language versions identify their review status and preserve the original verdict.
