Verification Signals
A Trust Score is computed across multiple independent integrity layers:[!NOTE] The exact weighting and mathematical models powering the Trust Score are proprietary to protect against adversarial manipulation and reverse engineering.
Feed Ranking and Discovery
Newsroom feeds and consumer discovery tabs utilise the Trust Score to organise breaking news streams:- Latest: A real-time chronological stream of all newly incoming dispatches.
- Top Stories: A weighted intelligence stream combining audience engagement velocity with creator credibility factors.
- Hot: A dynamic velocity window highlighting rapidly developing local and global stories.
- Weighted Interleaving: The discovery engine cycles across diverse news categories and creator networks in balanced rounds, ensuring local dispatches are not overshadowed by single viral stories.
Verification Badges in the Terminal
Dispatches that clear all integrity checks display distinct verification indicators in the Newsroom Terminal:- High Credibility: Dispatches clearing full hardware attestation, synthetic-media analysis, and spatial consistency.
- Under Review: Newly submitted content undergoing automated processing or awaiting secondary signals.
- Restricted / Flagged: Content failing synthetic-media evaluation; automatically suppressed from commercial licensing.
