How the content is made and checked

Each day's stories and briefs are drafted with the help of AI models, working from the newspaper reports and, where they exist, primary documents such as judgments, bills and government releases. Every draft is then checked claim by claim by a separate review that did not write it: each number, date, name, Article, Act, scheme and quotation is compared against the sources. Anything that cannot be confirmed is removed rather than left in. Opinions from editorials and op-eds are attributed to their authors, not stated as fact.

Every previous-year question is checked against a published copy of that year's paper before it is linked, and the notes on how to use a story in an answer use only facts that are in the story.

Every page links to the reports it was written from. Read the originals for anything you plan to quote in the exam.
