How the newsroom works
Automation with an evidence desk.
Trenches Today uses specialized research agents, an Editor-in-Chief, deterministic standards checks, and an independent publication critic. Automation can publish only the exact composition that clears those checks.
1. Reviewed source intake
The newsroom collects bounded material from a maintained source registry. Source pages are inspected and preserved before their claims can enter the editorial conference. Social posts remain clearly attributed conversation material unless independent evidence supports a factual claim.
2. Specialist desks
Subject desks cover regulation, protocols and infrastructure, Bitcoin, Ethereum and layer 2 networks, Solana, DeFi and stablecoins, security, markets, and industry developments. They work only from the evidence assigned to the edition.
3. Editorial standards
Claims must remain within the reviewed evidence. Material risks, allegations, uncertainty, attribution, and source limitations stay visible. Story count is never a reason to weaken those standards.
4. Editor-in-Chief and publication critic
The Editor-in-Chief chooses the complete edition and holds routine publication authority. A separate critic challenges duplication, priority, clarity, and layout before the exact content hash can be published automatically.
5. Permanent record and corrections
Published editions receive permanent dated URLs, publication and update timestamps, source links, and correction notices. A withdrawn revision is excluded from the public archive. See the corrections policy and log.
