Fact Check Policy

Last Updated: September 3, 2025

At TechDealReview, audience trust is the cornerstone of our work. We aim to publish accurate, fair, and balanced coverage. This policy explains how we verify information before it goes live.

Commitment to accuracy

“Due accuracy” means more than meeting journalistic basics. It means readers can rely on our work with confidence. We consider topic complexity, the type of information, and what readers reasonably expect for each piece.

1) Thorough investigation

Our editors examine claims, question assumptions, and evaluate information from relevant stakeholders. When details remain uncertain, we say so and avoid overstating conclusions.

2) Standards by content type

Fact-checking depth varies by format. A hands-on review, a deal post, and an investigative feature have different sourcing needs. We adapt methods while keeping accuracy non-negotiable.

Guidelines for ensuring accuracy

  • Reliable sources: We base coverage on verifiable, trustworthy sources. If a primary source is unavailable, we credit the original outlet.
  • Verification of claims: We verify statements and data from companies, public authorities, and organizations wherever possible. If something cannot be verified, we disclose that clearly.
  • Corrections: When we discover inaccuracies, we correct them promptly and transparently.
  • No misinformation: We do not mislead, fabricate, or manipulate information. Significant errors are acknowledged and fixed without delay.
  • Reader feedback: Every article invites feedback. You can suggest a correction at any time.

Fact-checking methodology

  • Editorial review: All content goes through internal fact-checking, followed by review from one or more editors depending on sensitivity and complexity.
  • Engagement with sources: We contact relevant parties for comment or clarification when appropriate and include their responses or note attempts to reach them.
  • Expert input: We consult subject-matter experts when needed and document the basis for key conclusions.

Sourcing principles

  • Two-source preference: When feasible, we confirm important facts with at least two independent sources. Single-source claims get additional scrutiny.
  • Documents over anecdotes: We prioritize documentation, public filings, technical notes, and repeatable tests over unverified statements.
  • Survey transparency: If we cite surveys, we disclose methodology and limitations.
  • On-the-record: We prefer on-the-record sources and provide context about credibility and relevance.

User-generated content

UGC needs extra care. When we include reader tips, photos, or social posts, we:

  • Verify the source and seek permission when applicable
  • Label what is confirmed versus what is unverified or opinion
  • Separate facts from rumor or speculation

Responsibility for accuracy and AI

AI tools may assist with outlines, transcripts, or data cleanup. Our editorial team is responsible for fact-checking and the final content. Every article is reviewed before publication.
