How it's made
The method
Nothing here hides how it was made. The seam between machine and human is the brand.
The seam: AI × human
Every article is researched and drafted with AI running under a strict source filter, then curated, sourced and verified by a human. We mark that seam openly on each piece. Original photographs, drawings and notes are always labelled human work, kept plainly separate from anything the machine produced.
Why it beats the usual three
- vs. Google's first page — that page is mostly salesmen optimising to be found. We rank truth and obsession, not ad budgets.
- vs. a bare chatbot — a chatbot gives a thin, confident summary with its biases baked in and nothing to check. We go deep, stay honest about doubt, and show every source.
- vs. raw AI — because it's read in the original languages, kept honest about what's contested, and touched by a human who actually cares whether it's true.
The tiers of evidence
When a claim is about what something does (a benefit, an effect), we never flatten the evidence. Each is sorted into one of three tiers, and the tier is stated on the piece:
"Evidence reached: Tier 3" on an article means the strongest tier any claim in it is supported by — and we tell you when that Tier 3 is one small trial, not a mountain.
Read across languages
We read sources in their original language wherever it matters — and tell you which. Passages drawn from machine translation are flagged; soon, whole articles will be mirrored in Russian (which can be verified by hand), with the original phrase shown beside the translation so you can re-check it yourself.
Sourced in the open
Every rabbit hole ends in a colophon: the tier of evidence reached, the languages consulted, the open questions left standing, and the full list of sources — each one a real link, grouped by type. The raw research document is never published as-is; the article is the edited, human layer on top of it. The vetted source spine lives at the Registry →
