NEWSROOM

Inside the newsroom

Our source desk, publishing process and the checks behind the daily wire.

A source check is not an article.

The engine discovers publisher links and records source health. Our editorial workflow turns meaningful developments into original briefings with a collector angle. A quiet news day does not justify invented news.

Daily editorial schedule

The editorial task is scheduled for 08:30 and 20:30 Europe/London each day. It runs on the publisher’s local machine; the visible last-run record is the evidence that a source check completed. Original articles are published when there is a meaningful, verified story.

The publishing flow

  1. Check the registered official sources and record failures separately from unchanged pages.
  2. Deduplicate the canonical source URLs and compare new candidates with the archive.
  3. Read primary evidence, identify an original collector angle and draft the story.
  4. Review facts, card identities, dates, attribution and internal links.
  5. Publish only after the content gate and site checks pass.

What the engine does not infer

It does not infer odds from highlight reels, values from asking prices, permission from an affiliate landing page, or stock from a card image. Source failures preserve the previous state and appear in the run record.
