Methodology
Source methodology
World Context is useful only if the public brief makes source roles, uncertainty, and boundaries easier to inspect. This page records the operating standard for the public layer.
Sources have roles
World Context does not treat every source as the same kind of evidence. A source may be useful as original reporting, specialist context, regional signal, official record, commentary, or dissenting interpretation. The brief should make those roles easier to compare, not flatten them into one anonymous summary.
Briefs are mediated, not replacement publishing
The public brief is a reading layer over source material. It is meant to organize context, surface contrasts, and make uncertainty legible. Original reporting, analysis, and authorship remain with the cited sources.
Uncertainty is part of the output
A good brief can say what changed, what is still unclear, what needs corroboration, and what to watch next. World Context should not hide weak evidence behind confident language.
Public and private layers stay separate
The public layer is the shared daily brief, weekly rollup, archive, status, support, and methodology surfaces. Private account settings, private briefs, admin tools, invite routes, and internal API routes are not public discovery targets.
What World Context does not claim
World Context is not a wire service, social feed, financial adviser, legal adviser, or replacement for primary sources. It is a context tutor: useful when it helps readers inspect source-grounded claims with better structure.
