Source hierarchy
- Company newsrooms, engineering blogs, investor-relations releases, product documentation, and official repositories are the default sources.
- Regulatory, exchange, grid, and public-agency records are used when they provide stronger evidence for financing, capacity, or approval claims.
- Additional reporting can supply context, but it does not replace a primary source for the central factual claim.
Selection criteria
Tech Brief weighs materiality, evidence quality, delivery stage, relevance to the AI industry chain, and whether the development creates a useful checkpoint to follow.
Skill Lab selects capabilities with a maintained public source and a clear practical use. Open Source Picks considers recent attention alongside repository activity, documentation, and license visibility.
Dates and freshness
Event date refers to the date of the underlying announcement or disclosure. Source snapshot records when the cited material was reviewed. Updated records the latest revision to the TechReadly page.
Open-source activity and star growth are snapshots, not permanent project attributes. Each weekly edition preserves the figures used at publication time.
AI-assisted production
Automated systems may assist with source extraction, drafting, comparison, and formatting. Every published item must still pass source checks for names, dates, numbers, availability statements, and links. AI output is not treated as a source.
