Publishing standard
This page describes the current public operation of Auto Research Digest as of 2026-05-06. If the public operation changes, this explanation is updated as well.
Research scope and public evidence
Topic discovery may use news reports, blogs, social posts, or event notes as signals, but those materials are not shown as public evidence. The public evidence list is limited to materials that can be verified as official documentation, vendor-published announcement or release pages, or papers.
For new articles or substantial rewrites, the working standard is to collect at least 20 primary-source URLs for the topic and publish only when the main claims in the article can be explained within that evidence base.
- publishedSources is reserved for primary evidence that can be shown directly on the public page.
- Third-party media and recap pages may help discovery, but they are not used as public evidence.
- Retrospective articles only rely on primary sources that were publicly available by the article date.
Writing and expression rules
The public tone stays neutral and avoids hype, overstatement, and unsupported certainty. Confirmed facts, observed patterns, and implications are written as different things, not collapsed into one claim.
Articles are generally structured around what happened, what changed, what the evidence is, and why that matters for operational or business decisions.
- Information that is not backed by the published evidence list is not presented as settled fact.
- Japanese and English versions stay aligned in meaning and tone even when they are not literal translations.
- Publishing cadence is not treated as a reason to lower the evidence threshold.
Updates and corrections
When an existing article is updated, source links and article claims are reviewed together. If new official material changes the frame, older wording is not kept by inertia.
If a typo, broken link, translation mismatch, or explanation gap is found after publication, the page can be revised according to the nature and impact of the issue. Accuracy and reader understanding drive that decision.
