AI TRANSPARENCY

Ai is used on this website

The site owner has declared that AI tools are used. The details below explain where and how.

Threadmap News uses AI as part of an evidence-led editorial workflow. AI helps us find, organise and examine connections between public sources; it does not replace source reporting, evidence checks or clear editorial boundaries.

AI tools and services

We use a mix of local and cloud-based AI language models for research support, source organisation, drafting and editorial structure. Specific tools may change over time as the workflow develops.

What AI is used for

- Finding and clustering relevant public reporting
- Summarising and comparing source material
- Identifying possible cross-domain connections
- Supporting article structure and first drafts
- Checking that articles distinguish documented facts, interpretation and hypothesis
- Producing some site and editorial copy

What AI is not used for

AI is not treated as a source or as proof of a claim. It is not used to invent sources, fill gaps in evidence, present speculation as fact, impersonate outside experts, or make unsupported predictions. Articles are not published when the evidence path is unclear.

Human review and responsibility

Threadmap News is an AI-assisted publication, with Daniel Mercer as its public editorial identity. The editorial workflow checks source links, evidence boundaries, article structure and public rendering before publication. The site operator remains responsible for the publication, its editorial policy and corrections.

Data and privacy

This editorial workflow is designed around public reporting and public source material. We do not intentionally send visitor messages, customer records, private correspondence, confidential source material or other sensitive personal data to AI services for article production. This statement concerns the editorial workflow; normal website hosting and analytics may process limited technical visitor data under their own policies.

Limitations and context

AI can make mistakes, miss context or overstate apparent connections. Threadmap therefore labels the difference between documented fact, interpretation, hypothesis and missing evidence. A source link is provided wherever possible, and readers should follow the original reporting for full context. We welcome corrections.
