What 10 Things

How we work

Current interest helps us decide what to research. Breaking events are discovery signals, not stories for us to rewrite. We research the underlying subject, require sources for every published automated fact and use related facts to build an interconnected knowledge graph.

1. Discover

Trend and public-interest signals identify subjects people are trying to understand. A signal is queued and scored for lasting usefulness.

2. Map the evergreen subject

The system separates the underlying subject from the live event. A flood story, for example, may lead to an explainer about how landslides form rather than a page claiming to report the unfolding incident.

3. Research and verify

Candidate facts must be supported by retrievable sources. Published automated topics require exactly ten facts, a confidence threshold and at least one source per fact. Weak research is rejected instead of padded into a page.

4. Link the knowledge graph

Strong related subjects return to the research queue. Expansion is deliberately gated so one page does not automatically create hundreds of low-value pages.

5. Reuse verified facts

Once a topic passes the publishing gate, its verified facts can be used to create image cards, carousels, short videos and responses to genuine audience questions.

Corrections

Sources are shown on evidence-backed topic pages. If a claim needs correcting, contact us with the page address and the supporting source.
