Voltbean aims to make technology stories clear, accurate and useful. This page explains how we check factual claims and choose sources.
Source priorities
We prefer primary sources when they are available and appropriate, including official documentation, public records, research papers, standards, product materials and direct statements. Credible secondary reporting may provide context, independent verification or access to information that is not available in a primary source.
Verification
Names, dates, figures and technical details should be checked against reliable evidence before publication. Statistics are attributed to their source and presented with enough context to avoid giving a misleading impression. We distinguish reported facts from estimates, analysis and opinion.
Claims, quotations and attribution
Quotations must be traceable to a credible source or a documented interview. Anonymous claims are treated cautiously and are not repeated as established fact without meaningful corroboration. Links and attribution should help readers understand where a material claim came from.
Conflicting accounts
Technology history can contain incomplete records or conflicting recollections. When sources disagree, we look for contemporaneous evidence, identify the uncertainty and avoid presenting a disputed account as settled. We also avoid circular citations in which multiple pages ultimately repeat the same unsupported claim.
Corrections
If reliable new evidence shows that a published statement is wrong or materially incomplete, Voltbean may correct, clarify or update the article. Material factual errors should not be silently changed.
