Editorial Standards

These are the rules the wire operates under. They are the product: a wire item is worth citing precisely because these constraints were applied to it.

Reporting

• Our headline, their story. Every item is our own headline and a 1–3 sentence factual summary, attributed and linked to its source. We summarize; we never reproduce source text.
• True dates or flagged dates. Items carry the source's real publication date as best determinable. An old story is never laundered as news — late catches are labeled ("catch-up"), and undeterminable dates are marked "date uncertain."
• Single-source stories run flagged, or don't run.
• Labels are mandatory. Vendor-published studies are labeled vendor studies. PR is labeled PR. What we couldn't verify is flagged or not run.
• Dry by default. Point of view lives in exactly one place on the front page — the lead slot. Everything else reports.

Corrections

Corrections are appended to the item, dated, and never silently edited. Every correction also appears on the standing corrections log. If you spot an error, write to [email protected].

Selection

The wire aggregates far more than it publishes. An automated poller reads the industry's primary sources continuously (see Sources); a human judgment gate decides what runs. Items are never manufactured to hit a publishing cadence — if the news is thin, the wire is thin.

Independence

• No coverage favors. Our publisher's own projects get no softer treatment here than anyone else's — see the disclosure.
• The wire sells no optimization services.
• Tips are credited by name or handle, every time. Send one in.

Images

Art on the wire is one of four things: our own screenshots of AI surfaces, a vendor's own announcement assets (credited), reader tips (credited), or public documents. We do not republish source articles' images.
