Editorial standards
How the Robrief newsroom chooses, writes, checks and corrects its briefings.
Who writes Robrief
Robrief is written and edited by the Robrief newsroom, and every briefing carries the newsroom byline rather than an individual name. Drafts are prepared with the help of AI tools, then edited against our writing guide and reviewed before they are published.
Sources
Every briefing lists its primary sources with links: company announcements, filings, research papers and reporting from established outlets. We don't publish unsourced statistics, and we say so when a claim comes only from the company making it.
Verification
Before a briefing goes live, each fact, figure and date is checked against the sources it lists. The “Sources verified” mark on a briefing means that check was done.
Corrections and updates
When we get something wrong, or a story moves on, we fix the briefing and show the date of the update at the top of the page.
Eight languages
Briefings are published in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. The English version is the master copy. The other versions are adapted for each language, not translated word for word, and keep every fact and source.
Explainers and company pages
Glossary explainers define a concept and stay general, so they don't go out of date. Company pages and coverage lists are built from the briefings that mention each company or term.
