Editorial methodology
How a report is made
Conclusion first, evidence behind every claim, and the signals that would change the verdict.
Frame the question
Each report starts from one question a reader would ask, the shape of the answer, and the windows or segments it will be judged on.
Collect evidence
Primary sources come first: advisories, filings, official statistics, papers, and vendor documentation. Every accepted number becomes a row in the evidence register with its source, date, class, and state.
Verify
Derived numbers are recomputed, headline figures are re-checked against the source, and quotes are compared word for word. Gaps stay visible instead of being filled in.
Build and audit
The page is built into one self-contained file. The build fails on any citation that does not resolve, any untagged quote, or any leftover placeholder.
Human review
Research and drafting are AI-assisted. A human reviews every report before it is published.
Reporting vs. analysis
We state what is confirmed, what is a publisher’s claim, what is our analysis, and what remains unknown — each with its basis. If sources conflict, we show the conflict. We do not invent exploit details, CVSS values, affected versions, trend percentages, or quotes. When evidence is thin, the gap is visible on the page.
