How we work

Public sources, always cited

Every fact comes from a public source: a news article, a press release, an official document. Sources are numbered at the bottom of every story and each sentence points to its own.

A paywalled or unreadable article does not count as a source.

An automatic check before publication

Before publication, a program compares the story with its sources: every number, every date and every quote in quotation marks must be found there. Any mismatch blocks publication until it is fixed.

Artificial intelligence, and a human review

We use artificial intelligence for writing, for the voice of the videos and for some illustrations.

Nothing is published without a human review.

Corrections, dated

When we get something wrong, we fix it. A corrected story carries the words "Updated on" followed by the date of the correction.

Partnerships, always disclosed

Sponsored content is always disclosed as a partnership. The facts it presents are sourced like everything else.
