Our promise
Evidence before a streak.
Every article needs at least three genuinely independent sources, including an authoritative record. Sensitive claims need direct support from at least two sources. When evidence conflicts or a crucial source cannot be checked, the story is quarantined—not published to keep a calendar moving.
