How We Research & Verify
How The Tech Archive researches, sources, fact-checks, and keeps AI content accurate — primary sources, independent corroboration, and a "last verified" date on every article.
The Tech Archive exists to be the always-current, source-verified place to understand and use AI. Trust is the product. This page explains exactly how we research, write, source, and keep our work accurate — so you never have to take a claim on faith.
Who writes and edits this
Our articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools and then reviewed and fact-checked under human editorial oversight. A named human editor is accountable for what we publish. We never present an AI as a fake human author, and we never publish unreviewed, machine-generated content at scale.
How we verify a claim
- Primary sources first. We trace each load-bearing claim back to its original source — official documentation, company announcements, peer-reviewed research, or primary reporting — not to other blogs re-reporting it.
- Independent corroboration. Significant facts are checked against more than one independent source before they go live.
- Honest labels. Vendor or self-reported figures are labelled as such. Statistics we could not verify are discarded rather than published.
- Numbers must appear in the work. Any statistic we headline is one that is supported in the article body, with its source.
Why every article has a “Last verified” date
AI facts decay fast — prices change, limits move, models get superseded. So every article carries a “Last verified” date, and we re-check time-sensitive claims on a schedule. If something can’t be re-verified, we update or remove it. This freshness discipline is the one thing we hold ourselves to most strictly.
How we format for clarity
We write answer-first, in plain English, with the practical takeaway up top and the supporting detail and sources below. We’d rather publish less and verify more than flood you with noise.
What we don’t do
- We don’t fabricate authors, credentials, or experiences.
- We don’t promise guaranteed search rankings — no one honestly can.
- We don’t publish hype we can’t source. If we’re uncertain, we say so.
