Our methodology

How we verify the news

Before we publish a news story we establish its real-world status against primary sources— the lab's own post, the official filing or directive, the documentation — not a second-hand summary. Each story carries the facts we could confirm, clearly separated from what is still developing. A claim we cannot verify is labelled as developing or as analysis; it is never asserted as fact.

What our dates mean

A story's published date is fixed. A "Verified"stamp means the day we last re-checked the piece against its sources — not the day it was written. We only advance that date on a genuine re-check, so "Verified June 2026" is a promise, not decoration.

Corrections

If we get something wrong we fix it and note the change. Accuracy is the only reason this is worth reading.
