Methodology
How We Build Coverage
This page explains sourcing, evidence labels, and update rules used across story files.
Source selection
- Primary references are official release notes, product documentation, and on-record announcements.
- Secondary references add context (industry reporting, analysis, or policy coverage).
- Lower-tier ecosystem signals are used as directional context and never as standalone proof for hard claims.
Source-basis labels
- Multiple primary sources: two or more primary references.
- Primary + supporting sources: one primary reference plus additional supporting context.
- Single primary source: one primary reference and no additional source depth.
- Supporting-source mix: multiple non-primary references.
- Single supporting source: one non-primary reference only.
Evidence and risk scores
Evidence and risk scores are editorial heuristics used to prioritize follow-up reporting. They are not scientific certainty ratings and may change as new information arrives.
Update and correction policy
- Material factual changes trigger timestamped updates.
- Confirmed errors trigger correction notes on article pages and entries on the corrections log.
- Source lists are preserved so readers can inspect provenance directly.
