EDITORIAL POLICY

Evidence before confidence.

XTIANZ separates evergreen explanation, editorial interpretation, and fast-changing factual claims.

Review metadata

Long-form articles show the date of manual review, a confidence label, source status, and a correction path. Review dates do not mean every linked third-party page was updated on the same date.

Source hierarchy

  1. Official specifications, documentation, filings, regulators, exchanges, and government publications.
  2. Company investor relations and official product announcements.
  3. High-quality reporting and research for context.
  4. Secondary summaries only when clearly identified.

Fast-changing claims

Company status, tickers, protocol versions, product features, prices, regulations, and market data require current verification. Articles should describe the verification source and the condition that would invalidate the claim.

Use of AI

AI may assist research organization, drafting, code, and quality checks. AI output is not accepted as evidence. Published material is manually reviewed for source alignment, unsupported claims, and internal consistency.

Corrections

Readers can submit a correction with the page URL and supporting source. Material corrections should be reflected in the article’s review history.

Independence

Editorial conclusions are not determined by advertisers, referral programs, or companies covered by the site.
