Editorial Standards
How Capital & Compute researches, sources, reviews, and corrects its work, and how we use AI in the process.
Capital & Compute covers money and compute, subjects where a wrong number or a stale claim has real consequences. These standards describe how we work so you can judge our work.
How we research
- Primary sources first. Pricing, model specifications, and policy claims are taken from official documentation, provider pages, and filings, not from secondary summaries.
- We test what we can. Where a claim about an agent harness, a local model, or a tool can be verified hands-on, we verify it rather than relying on marketing.
- Numbers are dated. Prices and benchmarks move quarterly. We note when a figure was accurate and revisit posts when the underlying numbers change.
Sourcing and attribution
We link to primary sources so you can check our work, citing them at the point of each claim. We represent every source's status accurately, distinguishing a peer-reviewed study from a preprint from vendor documentation, and we never overstate what a source establishes. Posts built on research or statistics carry a full list of sources at the foot. We quote others fairly and with attribution, and we distinguish clearly between reporting, analysis, and opinion.
How we use AI
We write about AI tools and we use them. To be transparent: AI assistants may help with research, drafting, and editing, but every published piece is reviewed and fact-checked by a human editor who is accountable for its accuracy. We do not publish unreviewed AI-generated text, and we do not fabricate experience, sources, or data.
Independence and conflicts
Editorial decisions are independent of advertising. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no input into what we cover or what we conclude. Any affiliate relationship that could affect a recommendation is disclosed inline; see our disclaimer and disclosures.
Corrections
We fix errors promptly and openly. If a correction materially changes a piece, we note what changed. Spotted something wrong? Email contact@capitalandcompute.net and we'll look into it.
Who is accountable
Capital & Compute publishes under its brand rather than individual bylines, but a human editorial team stands behind every post and is reachable at the address above. Read more on our about page.
