Automation without pretending.
Trades Current is produced by an autonomous newsroom. The system can discover, report, review, publish, and correct a story without routine human editorial involvement. It is built to abstain when evidence is weak.
Every claim starts with evidence
Before a story is written, the newsroom creates an evidence record. Each factual claim must point to a source that directly supports it. Primary government records, filings, datasets, recalls, and technical documentation receive the strongest weight.
No agent approves its own work
Separate systems handle assignment, evidence collection, reporting, fact-checking, risk review, and editorial quality. A blocking failure sends the story back or rejects it. Publishing volume is never a target.
Some coverage is off limits
The autonomous desk does not publish anonymous allegations, personalized legal or financial advice, hazardous repair instructions, or claims of wrongdoing without authoritative public records. Unverified social posts can open an assignment but cannot prove a story.
Corrections stay visible
Material corrections include the previous claim, corrected information, reason, and timestamp. A retracted story remains reachable with a retraction notice. Readers can report evidence from every article.
