One-sentence brief
Accuracy is not only a source question; it also requires a fair, safe, and reviewable way to challenge consequential errors.
INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION INTEGRITY
A rights-aware publication model for notice, safe response, confidentiality, correction, review, appeal, and remedy when a public claim may materially affect a person or institution.
ORIENTATION
Accuracy is not only a source question; it also requires a fair, safe, and reviewable way to challenge consequential errors.
WORKING BRIEF
Ask whether the public-interest proposition can be reported without a name, exact location, account handle, protected trait, confidential relationship, or raw private record. More detail is not automatically more accountable.
Where lawful and safe, identify the intended wording, decision source, relevant date, response deadline, confidentiality options, and how a response will be represented. Avoid vague demands that expose a source or private person.
Record the response, supporting records, material contradictions, and what was independently checked. Do not treat silence as admission or a denial as conclusive.
Correct the exact proposition, preserve the earlier version, state the reason and date, identify affected routes, and avoid repeating unnecessary harmful detail in the correction itself.
An editorial review, platform appeal, regulator complaint, judicial appeal, data-access request, deletion request, or compensation claim has different authority and time limits. Name the available route without promising an outcome.
Use role-based review, redaction, secure internal evidence, and necessity tests. Do not reveal confidential sources or private identities merely to make a public page look more transparent.
COMPLETE DOSSIER
Terms are defined for this site’s evidence method, not as universal legal or clinical definitions.
| Stage | Required record | Unsafe shortcut | Publication-safe action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intake | Exact proposition, source origin, version, date, and claimant | Treating a link count as corroboration | Create a bounded claim record |
| Review | Directness, independence, custody, counterevidence, legal posture, and affected-person implications | Combining confidence, reliability, and legal outcome | Record separate fields and scoped reviewer questions |
| Publication | Narrow wording, decision source, uncertainty, response, and remedy | Implying authority not granted by the evidence | Publish the supported proposition only |
| Correction | Reason, prior state, dependent routes, owner, date, and reopening trigger | Silent overwrite or deleted uncertainty | Propagate and preserve the revision history |
Is the exact proposition and evidence state named?
Pass condition: Observation, interpretation, legal posture, reach, effect, and remedy are not silently merged.
Are evidentiary origins traced rather than inferred from citation count?
Pass condition: Common origins, actor-controlled material, translation, syndication, and copied anomalies remain visible.
Is the public wording bound to the exact evidence revision and review date?
Pass condition: A later change can supersede one claim without silently rewriting the historical record.
Can affected people or institutions understand, contest, correct, or appeal the claim?
Pass condition: Notice, response, correction, escalation, and remedy paths are explicit where applicable.
Is identity disclosure minimized and operational enablement excluded?
Pass condition: The content remains public-interest education rather than identification, surveillance, targeting, or operational attribution.
