Evidence-native news

Editorial standards

This publication is evidence-native: claims are stated with the evidence that supports them, and the evidence is inspectable by the reader.

Claims carry their status

Every substantive claim in a story has a recorded status, a confidence, and a verification date. Claims are re-verified on a stated schedule, and a claim whose support has changed is marked rather than quietly rewritten.

Sources are named and quality-scored

Every source is a record: who published it, when it was retrieved, how it was accessed, and quality signals such as primary status and known corrections. Sources that must stay confidential are protected explicitly, and the protection itself is disclosed.

The canonical article stands alone

Reading, evidence, and corrections never depend on scripts, external platforms, or AI services. Optional features may fail; the published record cannot.
