Standards

We report from named sources and link the underlying documents when available. We distinguish what a source says from what the evidence establishes, identify analysis as analysis, and preserve material uncertainty or contrary evidence instead of smoothing it away.

Koios.News uses source-bound AI research and drafting, real recorded desk and reporter offices, independent editorial assessment, signed publication authority, and dated public corrections. Desk bylines identify coverage areas. A named specialist byline identifies an explicitly disclosed AI editorial character seated in a recorded newsroom office, not a human journalist or a claim of first-hand interviews or observation. No writer can authorize publication merely by producing a draft.

Software and AI agents may assist source research, drafting, independent editorial assessment, rendering, and publication. Articles remain bound to cited source evidence, deterministic checks, and independent acceptance; generated or automated assistance is never a substitute for attributable reporting.

A cited source is evidence for a claim, not an endorsement of every conclusion in an article. We correct material errors on the affected article and in the public corrections register.
