How GOV RADAR verifies information
Every country, region, tender and conflict item is cross-checked daily. Each item carries a verdict and its sources; unverified items are not published.
Verification policy
- 'Confirmed' requires 2+ independent sources saying the same thing, at least one of them tier 1 or 2.
- Several outlets copying one wire story count as one source.
- Statements by a party to a conflict are labelled 'Party claim' until the other side or a third party confirms.
- Amounts separate ceiling from actual obligation; dates separate announcement from effect.
- 'Unverified' items are kept off public and member screens and go to operator review.
- An automatic cross-check runs daily; changed verdicts and corrections are logged.
- Prophecy or fortune-telling content is outside this system and never shown on public or member screens.
- T1 Official government, military and international-organisation statements and documents (DoD, JCS, CENTCOM, INDOPACOM, State, UN, NATO, EU, national governments)
- T2 Wire services (AP, Reuters, AFP, Yonhap, Jiji), major outlets, defense trade press (The War Zone, Defense One, Defense News), research institutes (ISW, ASPI, CSIS)
- T3 Other outlets, wikis, blogs, social media, YouTube
