Editorial standards

Sources

We link to primary sources and distinguish announced projects, approved funding, open procurement and awarded contracts. Amounts are given with currency and purpose. Disputed claims are attributed next to the claim.

AI-assisted reporting and human review

Our editorial team may use AI to assist with research, drafting and checks. A human editor reviews published reporting and is responsible for the publication process.

Conflicts and sponsorship

We label paid placements and disclose relevant conflicts. Sponsored content is marked “Advertisement / Werbung” where required.
