Editorial standards

These are the standards Conduit Report holds itself to. They are published so that readers can hold the site to them.

Sourcing

Every factual claim is traced to a named source. Where a company has published something directly, that is what is cited. Where a claim comes from an outlet's reporting, the outlet is named in the text, so its reliability can be judged, and the original is linked wherever it is publicly available, so readers can check it for themselves.

Aggregator posts, content farms, and sites that recycle other sites are not used as sources. A claim that appears only on pages built to capture search traffic does not appear here.

The three stamps

Every substantive claim carries one of three designations. Confirmed means the company or people involved have stated it directly. Reported means an established outlet has published it but it has not been officially confirmed. Rumour means it is unverified and should be treated as speculation until an official source addresses it.

Leaked material

Leaks are covered as a phenomenon, not republished as an asset. The site may report that material has circulated, describe in words what it is claimed to show, and assess its credibility. It does not host, embed, mirror, or link to leaked builds, stolen footage, or copyrighted material. Any claim drawn from a leak carries the Rumour designation without exception.

Images

No screenshots, key art, logos, trailer stills, or marketing assets belonging to the companies covered appear on this site. The design uses only typography and colour. Where an image is required, it is either original or properly licensed and credited.

Speculation

Speculation is acceptable when it is labelled as such and reasoned from something real. Analysis grounded in a company's past behaviour is fair; a headline stating an unannounced feature as fact is not. Headlines describe what the article establishes, and where the honest answer is that something is unknown, the article says so at the outset.

Corrections

Substantive errors are corrected on the affected article with a dated note describing what changed, rather than edited away silently. Corrections can be reported via the contact page.

Advertising

Advertising is served by third-party vendors and is not connected to editorial decisions. No coverage is paid for, and advertising has no influence on what any article says or which designation a claim receives.
