Verification Framework v2.0

Editorial Standards & AI Governance Policy

Every article published on ConfirmPress is governed by strict journalistic verification rules, primary-source traceability, and automated + human anti-fabrication safeguards.

1. Multi-Source Corroboration & Attribution

ConfirmPress does not publish uncorroborated rumors as fact. When reporting breaking developments, our system ingests dispatches from accredited international and national news agencies, regulatory bodies, and official transcripts. Every article displays a dedicated Editorial Verification & Source Transparency panel linking to the primary reporting sources.

  • Named Attribution: Factual claims, figures, and official positions are attributed directly to the originating institution, filing, or wire service.
  • Distinguishing Fact from Allegation: Unproven legal accusations, ongoing investigations, and contested political claims are explicitly qualified.

2. Responsible AI Assistance & Zero-Fabrication Mandate

ConfirmPress utilizes Google Gemini models to assist in clustering multi-wire dispatches, extracting verifiable claims, and drafting structured news synthesis. To protect reader trust, our publishing pipeline enforces a strict Zero-Fabrication Quality Gate:

No Invented Quotes or Anonymous Analysts: AI models are strictly prohibited from fabricating direct quotes, unnamed correspondents, or synthetic eyewitnesses. Direct quotation marks are only permitted when verbatim text appears in the verified source record.
No Template Boilerplate: Generic filler paragraphs, repetitive AI clichés, and ungrounded speculation are automatically rejected at the pre-publication gate.
Automatic Hold on Uncertainty: Any draft whose verification score falls below threshold, whose defamation risk exceeds policy limits, or whose AI synthesis encounters an upstream error is automatically held in NEEDS_REVIEW for human editorial inspection.

3. Sponsored Content & Guest Post Separation

Submissions received through the ConfirmPress Guest Wire undergo automated compliance screening and editorial review. Sponsored or partner contributions are clearly labeled and never alter our independent news coverage.
