Editorial Policy

Our rules

1. No fact without a source. Every claim, statistic and forecast on a published page is tied to an official source with a timestamp or page number.
2. Exact quotes are exact. We publish a verbatim quote only when it can be checked word-for-word against a transcript or clear audio. Everything else is a clearly labeled paraphrase.
3. Numbers carry their origin. Every figure links to where it was said or shown.
4. Opinions stay opinions. A speaker's judgment is never rewritten as established fact.
5. Company claims are labeled. Promotional statements are marked as company claims, not findings.
6. Time-of-talk identity. Speakers are credited with the title and organization they held when they spoke.
7. People are disambiguated. Speakers sharing a name are verified before pages merge or link.
8. Summaries keep uncertainty. Machine-drafted summaries must not add conclusions the speaker didn't state.
9. Higher stakes, higher review. Content involving high-profile figures, health, finance or policy gets a stricter review level.
10. Changes leave a trail. Published pages record when they were last checked and updated.

AI disclosure

We use AI to transcribe talks and draft summaries, takeaways and claim extractions. Drafts pass automated source-consistency checks, and records display their state — Source Verified, AI Summarized, Editorially Reviewed — so you always know what you're reading. Errors are ours to fix: report them to info@onlinesummit.com.

Independence

Payment never changes what our pages say. Sponsors and customers cannot buy rankings, favorable summaries, or "authority" in topic pages. Organizers and speakers may submit official materials; the same sourcing rules apply.
