Methodology

How we report.

BossBlog is built on the principle that operator-grade intelligence requires operator-grade transparency. Every editorial decision below is an explicit, defensible choice — not an internal practice we hope readers will trust without seeing.

Sourcing

Every story is built on attributable, public-record sources: regulatory filings, primary news organisations (Reuters, FT, Bloomberg, WSJ, CNBC), official statements, court documents, peer-reviewed research, and direct corporate communications.

When a story relies on a single outlet, that outlet is named in the article body. Multi-source stories cite at least two independent reports; when those reports disagree, both versions are presented.

Anonymous sourcing is avoided unless the story cannot be told otherwise. When used, the source's relationship to the story is described.

Verification

Numerical claims (revenue, valuations, percentages, dates) are verified against the underlying source before publication. Numbers that cannot be reconciled to a primary source are removed or labelled as estimates.

Named entities (companies, people, products) are checked against current registrations and the named entity's own public materials. We avoid plausible-sounding fabrications by tying every entity reference back to a search-engine-verifiable artefact.

Direct quotations are reproduced verbatim from primary sources. Paraphrases are clearly marked as such.

AI disclosure

BossBlog uses AI tooling in three places: (1) discovery — surfacing candidate stories from public news feeds; (2) drafting — first-pass long-form composition under structured editorial constraints; (3) image search — locating Reuters/AP/CNBC/etc. wire photos via licensed image search APIs.

Every AI-assisted draft passes through a human editorial review before publication. Reviews check for factual accuracy, source attribution, novel claims, and originality of analysis. Articles that do not survive review are rejected.

We do not generate fictitious quotes. We do not synthesise photo-realistic images of named individuals. Article hero photos and inline images are licensed third-party news photography, and the source publication is named in the alt text.

AI is a research and drafting tool. The angle, sourcing decisions, and any stake-of-the-game claim are editorial decisions, not model outputs.

Updates and corrections

Substantive errors are corrected in place with a dated note appended to the article body. The original incorrect text is preserved in the article's edit history (git log) so the change is auditable.

Minor fixes (typos, punctuation, broken links) are made silently and are not flagged in-article.

If the news landscape changes after publication — a follow-up earnings release, a policy reversal, a correction by the underlying source — we publish an Update note dated, and link to any follow-up coverage.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising and sponsorship arrangements. Sponsored placements, when present, are clearly labelled as sponsored at the top of the affected unit.

Affiliate links are disclosed inline in the article footer. Affiliate revenue does not influence which products are mentioned or how they are described in editorial copy.

We reject sponsorship that requires editorial input on coverage angle, story scheduling, or named-entity treatment.

Data lineage (Monitor Signals)

BossBlog Monitor aggregates signals from open-source intel feeds. Each signal carries: source publication, timestamp, region, category, and a deterministic ID we use to track the same story across days.

Signals are mapped to a global signal registry so the same event from multiple outlets is collapsed into a single record. We do not republish source content; the Monitor surface only provides headline, source attribution, and a link.

The Monitor signal store is rebuilt twice a day via cron. We publish staleness indicators on every Monitor view so readers know when the underlying snapshot was last refreshed.
