How We Verify Tech News

Every technology story at Aevum passes through a rigorous editorial pipeline designed to ensure accuracy and context.

01

Source Verification

Every claim is traced to primary sources — press releases, technical papers, regulatory filings, or on-the-ground reporting. Anonymous sources require dual-verification before publication.

02

Technical Review

Technical stories are reviewed by a second desk member with domain expertise. Complex claims about AI models, chip specs, or security vulnerabilities are independently validated.

03

Context Layering

Every story includes historical context, competitive landscape analysis, and stakeholder perspectives. We don't just report the what — we explain the why it matters.

04

Expert Consultation

Our team maintains a network of 200+ verified experts across academia, industry, and government who are consulted on complex stories to ensure balanced, informed coverage.

05

Correction Protocol

When errors occur, they are corrected prominently with transparent attribution. Our correction log is publicly archived, and we issue clarifications when follow-up reporting reveals new context.

06

Conflict of Interest Checks

All correspondents disclose financial holdings, advisory roles, and relationships with companies they cover. Editorials are strictly separated from advertising operations.

Specialized Beats

Our desk is organized into specialized sub-teams, each focused on a distinct dimension of the technology ecosystem.
