MachineHours Editorial Policy

MachineHours publishes news, reference entries and analysis about AI, robotics, semiconductors, energy infrastructure and the automation economy. Coverage aims to explain what changed, what the evidence supports and why it matters, without hype.

Sources and verification

Claims should be traceable to attributed sources, with original research, official documentation, regulatory material and company filings preferred where relevant. News normally uses independent corroboration. Where only one reputable primary source is available, it must be clearly attributed and distinguished from MachineHours analysis. A company announcement or advocacy claim is not an independent finding.

Numbers, dates, quotations and benchmarks must be supported by the supplied evidence. Failed fact checks, unresolved mixed-topic stories and insufficient original reporting are held rather than presented as verified news.

Analysis and uncertainty

MachineHours analysis adds context drawn from the evidence and relevant indicators; it is not a substitute for source reporting. Estimates, projections and disputed claims should be identified as such. Where evidence is incomplete or vendors and analysts disagree, coverage should explain the limitations rather than imply certainty.

AI assistance

Daily news uses AI-assisted research and writing tools with editorial oversight. Analysis briefings are editorially curated and sourced from primary research. AI output is subject to source and factual checks; automated writing does not itself establish that a claim is true. FAQs and takeaways summarize the article, rather than introducing unsupported facts.

Corrections and updates

Factual corrections should be supported by evidence. New information should be distinguished from original publication, and substantive updates should explain what changed. Please send the article URL, disputed statement and supporting source through our Contact page.
