Why these scores
Citation Discipline
The Way We Work editorial guide enforces fact-check + sourcing standards; corrections public.
Editorial fact-check process is rigorous, but anonymity makes individual-claim provenance opaque.
Modern Reference
Premium terminal-first; web articles paywalled; LLM corpus inclusion partial.
Machine-readable; broad LLM inclusion via paywall-bypass partnerships.
Citation Velocity
Multiple stories per minute via Terminal; cited by every financial news outlet.
Weekly print + daily online; cited heavily in finance and policy discourse.
