Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy & Standards

Every xSypher story passes through the same pipeline: reporting, verification, editing and fact-checking. Claims require named sources or documents; anonymous sourcing requires an editor's approval and a stated reason.

Our rules, in short

Two independent sources, or one source plus documentation, before any claim of wrongdoing.
Opinion is labelled opinion. Analysis is labelled analysis. News reads like news.
We disclose conflicts. If a writer holds stock in a company they cover, an editor assigns someone else.
Reviews are independent: we buy our own test units, and scores are never discussed with vendors before publication.
AI tools may assist research and production, but no xSypher story is written by an AI without human reporting, and generated media is always labelled.

Fact-checking

Statistics, quotes and technical claims are verified against primary sources wherever they exist. Where we rely on a single study or company claim, we say so in the story itself.
