Clarity beyond the headline.Source Policy
VERIQIA is built around attributable evidence. Sources enter the editorial workflow through an approved registry and retain their identity, links and provenance throughout analysis and Story File creation.
Last updated 20 August 2026Free-first approved sources
VERIQIA prioritizes free, publicly accessible sources from official bodies, governments, regulators, statutory authorities and public institutions. Established publisher sources may be added only when access and intended use are clearly permitted.
Respectful source access
VERIQIA does not use arbitrary website scraping or methods that bypass access controls or publisher protections.
Primary-source preference
VERIQIA prefers the source directly responsible for a decision, filing, announcement, record or event when that source is genuinely relevant. An official designation or internal Tier P classification alone does not make every item primary evidence for every Story File.
Internal source tiers
Source tiers P, A, B and C are internal workflow tools that support prioritization and review. They are not public scores, endorsements or guarantees that every claim from a source is accurate.
Attribution and direct access
Public Story Files identify the primary source first when available, list supporting sources separately and provide direct source links where practical. VERIQIA synthesis and context are distinguished from source-provided material.
Comparison and disagreement
Multiple-source comparison is used where it materially improves understanding. VERIQIA records agreement, differences, conflicting claims and unclear points without labelling publishers as left or right, biased or unbiased, trustworthy or untrustworthy.
No blanket endorsement
A source’s inclusion in the Approved Source Registry or a Story File does not mean VERIQIA endorses every statement, editorial position, product or external page associated with that source.
