Our Approach, Plainly Stated
AlgoFinance is an AI-assisted publication with human editorial control. We believe readers of financial content deserve to know exactly how the articles they read are produced, so here is the full process.
How an Article Is Made
- Topic discovery. We monitor established financial and technology sources (Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, CoinDesk, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, The Verge, and others) for developments worth covering.
- AI-assisted drafting. A large language model produces an initial draft from the source material, following strict editorial rules: specific numbers over vague claims, named source attribution, no filler, no sensationalism.
- Automated fact-check pass. A separate review pass checks every number, date, name, and claim in the draft. It specifically flags statistics attributed to a named source, so those can be checked against the original. Any claim that cannot be confirmed is marked with a verification flag rather than guessed at.
- Human review and approval. A human editor reviews every article before publication: flagged claims are verified against the primary source (the filing, report, or organization actually cited), reworded, or removed; structure and accuracy are checked; and nothing is published automatically. Articles that don't meet the bar are rejected.
- Updates. When we materially update a published article, we mark it with a visible "Last updated" date. We do not fake freshness by changing dates without changing content.
What We Don't Do
- We do not publish articles without human review.
- We do not invent sources, quotes, or credentials.
- We do not present AI-generated analysis as the work of a named human expert.
- We do not give personalized financial advice. Ever.
Why We Work This Way
AI tools let a small editorial operation cover fast-moving markets with consistent structure and sourcing discipline. Human review is what keeps that coverage honest. We think the combination, disclosed openly, serves readers better than either extreme: unreviewed AI content, or pretending AI isn't involved.
Corrections
No publication is free of error, and financial data changes over time. If you find a mistake in any article, email [email protected] with the article URL and the specific issue. We review good-faith error reports promptly, correct confirmed errors quickly, and note material corrections in the article. Our full process is set out in our Corrections & Accuracy Policy.
