Inside the newsroom
Accuracy before speed, context before sensationalism, verification before publication. Here is exactly how a story reaches you.
Editorial workflow
Legal review is triggered for regulatory, financial and human-rights stories. Every story keeps a version history, and monitoring continues after publication.
AI news desk
The AI desk assists; it never publishes. Every output requires an editor.
Source monitoring
Watches the trusted source registry for filings, communiqués and data releases.
Breaking detection
Clusters duplicate reports and raises a single candidate story with a priority estimate.
Headline suggestions
Proposes headline variants; an editor always chooses and can rewrite.
Context gap detection
Flags claims lacking a knowledge, data or research link before an editor sees the draft.
Freshness monitoring
Detects stale figures and recommends updates or follow-up stories.
Newsletter drafting
Assembles a draft digest from published stories for editor approval.
AI fact checker
Runs before an editor sees a draft.
- Cross-references claims against at least two registry sources
- Detects conflicts between sources and surfaces both readings
- Verifies dates, names, titles and locations
- Flags unsupported or unattributed claims
- Assigns a confidence score and routes high-risk topics to an editor
