Confirmed
We use “confirmed” for information supported by credible named sources, official documentation, primary records or reliable reporting with clear attribution.
Unconfirmed
A claim can be important enough to explain without being established as fact. We label it accordingly.
Developing
Stories with material unresolved facts are marked developing. Substantive changes are recorded in an update log.
Health and science
For medical and scientific background, we prioritize public-health agencies and authoritative technical sources. Event reporting and technical context are sourced separately when appropriate.
