Independence, Corrections, AI Use

ARI3LLA INDEX is not sponsored by or affiliated with any brand, publication, retailer, or platform named in its reports. Editorial sources are cited as a source sector with its own commercial incentives, not treated as neutral authority.

ARI3LLA INDEX is an independently operated research and reporting project, not a staffed newsroom or a commercial publication. It is built and maintained by a single researcher-developer, with source code published on the project's public repository; there is no separate editorial board, ownership structure, or funding source to disclose beyond that.

AI assists with crawling, extraction, and summarization. Each report is reviewed against the project's editorial guidelines, including the interpretive classification calls, which are recorded in a human-editor note attached to each report. That review is currently carried out by the same automated process that drafts the report, not by a separate named human editor — see methodology for the full disclosure.

Errors in a published report are not silently edited. A dated correction is appended to the affected report, and the original entry is kept intact. Full detail is on the Methodology page. A suspected error can be reported by opening an issue on the project's public repository. This is not a staffed inbox, but it is a real channel, not a placeholder.
