Methodology

Five newsworthiness factors decide coverage; being in the network guarantees nothing.

Five newsworthiness factors decide coverage; being in the network guarantees nothing.

Monitoring the network

SourceWire’s AI watches the Madison Labs properties continuously, reading sitemaps and detecting page-level changes, to find what is genuinely new: a fresh filing, a moved yield, a new listing, an updated dataset.

Judging newsworthiness

Each detected change is scored on five factors: newness, market relevance, broad interest, significance, and likely investor attention. Most changes fail this bar and are never written up. Being on a Madison Labs site does not guarantee coverage: editorial judgment is independent of the network, and coverage cannot be bought or requested.

Research, writing, and the compliance gate

Stories that clear the bar get a research pass across market data and public reporting, then an original article that naturally credits the property where the subject was discovered. Every draft passes an automated copy desk and a compliance gate: no advice framing, facts distinguished from speculation, sources credited.

Review and corrections

Drafts that clear the copy desk and compliance gate publish automatically; anything they cannot clear is held for a human editor. Editors can revise, correct, or unpublish any article, corrections are logged with the sources that settle them, and a corrections policy governs material errors. The newsworthiness score is a triage tool, not a factuality certification.
