Research standards

TrustLens research should be original, clearly written and reviewed before publication. Where external claims are discussed, the production version should identify the source and publication date. AI assistance may be used for drafting or analysis, but published research should add human-reviewed value rather than become a collection of automatically generated pages.

What readers should expect

  • Clear definitions and practical examples.
  • A distinction between evidence, interpretation and uncertainty.
  • Actionable verification steps.
  • Links to authoritative sources where external facts are material.
  • Updates when a tactic or technology changes.
