Editorial system
Auditable by design.
Evidence before automation.
PSYTECH News uses automation to widen the field of view, not to weaken editorial judgement. Discovery, source verification, psychological mapping, provenance and release checks remain inspectable.
The chain
Scan
A broad source mesh watches research, technology and institutional signals.
Score
Rules score human relevance, technological relevance, source type, freshness and duplication.
Map
Candidate stories are mapped to psychological constructs such as attention, cognition, trust, identity and autonomy.
Synthesize
Verified source packets are converted into structured PSYTECH briefs with source-specific interpretation and explicit uncertainty.
Bound
Every brief carries an evidence boundary, uncertainty section and inspectable source record.
Audit
Independent release checks test provenance, hype, causal language, duplication, editorial finish, voice quality and source integrity.
Publish
Only the audited state is committed. Failed or unfinished items remain newsroom data, not public editorial copy.

Last newsroom run
4 November 2026
The latest run completed normally, but no item met the publication threshold.
Non-negotiables
No model dependency
The core publication pipeline does not require an external generative model to remain operational.
No silent invention
Deterministic editorial assembly can reorganise and frame a source packet; it cannot invent findings, numbers, people or corroboration.
No source laundering
A reachable URL is not treated as independent proof. Evidence state and provenance remain explicit.
No mediocre fallback
If a story does not pass editorial-finish and release gates, it is not promoted as finished publication copy.
Principle
Automation should make the newsroom more disciplined, not merely faster.
Generative models can be used as optional editorial instruments when their contribution is disclosed. They are not required for the core publication pipeline to operate.
