Editorial, source and AI policy
Credibility is the product. These are the rules Huburb holds itself to.
Source quality
Current factual content should originate from official company announcements, research institutions, government and regulatory sources, universities, peer-reviewed research, or established technology and business publications.
Every sourced record stores the publisher, the publication date and a link to the original. Where a record carries no source, it says so. Huburb never generates a citation that does not exist.
AI-assisted content
Huburb uses AI to summarise and explain, not to report. Anything produced or assisted by a model is labelled — the 'Why it matters' notes and 'Why it's interesting' analyses are editorial readings, not sourced claims.
AI never runs simply because a page loaded. Generation happens when new content is processed, when a reader explicitly uses Ask Huburb, when a comparison requires it, when a briefing is produced, or when an editor requests analysis. Output is cached and reused.
Company information
Unknown company details are displayed as unavailable rather than being filled in. Funding figures appear only when reliably sourced.
Founders can submit companies for review and will later be able to claim and correct a profile. Submissions are never published automatically.
Rankings and sponsorship
Huburb Radar describes momentum and activity. It is not a ranking, a scorecard or investment advice.
Paid placement can never appear as an organic listing. Sponsored content is always clearly identified as such.
Privacy
Huburb collects only what a feature needs. Follows, saved items, interests and newsletter preferences currently live in your browser's local storage and are not transmitted anywhere.
Analytics are aggregate and never include personal information from forms.
Corrections
If a record is wrong, we want to fix it. Corrections are applied to the record itself rather than being buried in a later entry.
