Methodology

How we source, produce and review our analysis

What goes into an item, who is accountable for it, and what the “Verified” label means.

What we publish

Business and policy analysis of the global AI supply chain, for investors and supply-chain risk teams. It is not investment advice or legal advice.

Sources

We use public primary documents: official notices and gazettes, regulatory databases, company filings and public statements. We do not use non-public or restricted information. Every item lists the sources behind it.

How an item is made

1. Collect

Software gathers documents from a reviewed list of public sources.

2. Structure

Key facts are recorded in our industry network: who issued a document, what type it is, what changed, and which companies and products it names, alongside the supply, capital and people links between companies.

3. Draft

Software, including AI tools, helps prepare a first draft from those structured facts, using fixed templates.

4. Review

An editor checks each factual statement against its source, checks the language, and decides whether to publish. The editor is accountable for the result.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to collect, structure and draft. They do not decide what is published, and nothing is published without editorial review. Materials supplied by clients are not entered into third-party AI services without the client’s consent.

What “Verified” means

An editor has checked each factual statement in the item against the cited source, as of the date shown. It does not mean a forecast is certain. Lines that interpret what an event may mean are our judgment and are written as such.

Language

We describe what happened and how far it reaches. We do not attribute motives. The same templates and wording rules apply to every jurisdiction.

Corrections

Material corrections are flagged on the article with the date and what changed.

What we do not do

We do not use non-public information, and we do not analyse imagery of facilities. We do not give legal opinions or recommend trades.
