How IntelScroll researches, drafts, fact-checks, and corrects its coverage.

What we cover

IntelScroll focuses on four pillars where rigorous reporting is scarce and operational stakes are high:

• AI Security — prompt injection, agent runtime threats, vector-store exfiltration, supply-chain risk in LLM tools, model-release threat modeling.
• Models & Economics — inference cost layers, enterprise rollout patterns, agent design, HITL practice, the unit-economics math behind AI features.
• Quantum — hardware progress across superconducting, neutral-atom, trapped-ion, and topological modalities; the q-day timeline; post-quantum cryptography migration; NIST FIPS 203/204/205.
• Data Center — power and capacity constraints, grid interconnection, transformer and switchgear supply, behind-the-meter generation, the shift from compute-bound to energy-bound infrastructure.

We do not cover consumer-tech product reviews, daily market commentary, political news, or topics outside these pillars. Staying narrow lets us go deep on the topics we do cover.

Our standards

Accuracy is the contract

Every numeric claim, CVE number, dollar amount, percentage, and entity name in our wire items and deep reference pieces is reconciled against a primary source before publication. If the source does not support the claim, the claim does not ship. Where the underlying data is contested (vendor capex projections, threat-volume estimates), we attribute and name the disagreement.

Primary sources preferred

We cite primary sources where available — vendor security advisories, NVD CVE records, NIST publications, IBM Newsroom, Bloomberg, BCG primary reports, peer-reviewed research, federal agency disclosures, and first-party company announcements. When we cite a secondary source (industry analyst, trade publication), we say so and link the underlying primary source where one exists.

Editorial independence

We make editorial decisions independent of advertising or commercial relationships. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. We do not write items at the request of vendors, even when their work is accurately summarized in our coverage. Affiliate and ad-revenue relationships are disclosed in full on our Disclosures page.

Persona-tagged takes are framing, not advice

IntelScroll wire items include three persona-tagged takes ("As a Builder / Investor / Operator…") that describe how readers in those roles might think about the development. These takes are framing, not directives. They are not investment advice, not legal advice, not security-implementation recommendations specific to your environment. They describe categories, themes, and analytical considerations — not specific securities to buy or sell.

How we use AI assistance

IntelScroll uses AI assistance in research, source aggregation, drafting, and copy-editing. This is intentional, disclosed, and continuously audited. The specifics:

• Research and source aggregation. We use AI to scan and summarize large volumes of primary and secondary sources across our four pillars — vendor advisories, regulatory filings, academic papers, trade press. AI helps surface relevant material faster than manual search alone.
• Drafting. Initial drafts of wire items and reference pieces may be AI-assisted. Every draft is then reviewed and edited against the cited primary source before publication.
• Fact verification. AI is used to cross-reference claims against source URLs, identify discrepancies, and flag unsupported assertions. An editor performs the final pass and signs off before publishing.
• What AI does not do. AI does not make our final editorial decisions. AI does not write our corrections. AI does not select which sources we trust as primary. Those judgments are human.

The goal of disclosing this clearly is reader trust. AI assistance does not absolve us of accuracy — it raises the bar. When we get something wrong, the responsibility is editorial, not algorithmic.

Corrections policy

When we identify an error in published material, we correct it promptly:

• The correction is made directly in the piece.
• A changelog entry is added noting what changed, when, and why.
• Significant errors (wrong CVE numbers, wrong dollar amounts, wrong entity names) are flagged at the top of the piece for at least 14 days after correction.
• If the error materially changed the reader's takeaway, we issue a follow-up piece explaining the correction.

To report an error or suggest a correction: editorial@intelscroll.com. We aim to acknowledge corrections requests within 48 hours and resolve them within five business days.

Conflicts of interest

We disclose financial relationships, vendor partnerships, affiliate arrangements, and any other ties that could create the appearance of conflict. The complete list lives on the Disclosures page and is updated as relationships change. Specifically:

• We may earn affiliate revenue from prediction-market platforms (Polymarket, Kalshi) linked in our editorial pieces.
• We display ads through Google AdSense and may add other ad networks. Ad placement is automated and editorially separate from our coverage.
• We may at times accept sponsorships, which would be labeled as such with full transparency on the relationship.
• Editors and contributors disclose any personal holdings in companies we cover prominently. Material disclosures appear in the piece itself.

What we do not publish

• Unverified rumors presented as fact.
• Plagiarized content. We rewrite all summaries in our own voice and cite original sources.
• Speculative investment advice or securities recommendations. We discuss themes and categories, not individual buy/sell decisions.
• Misleading headlines that do not match the underlying piece.
• Content that violates copyright, privacy, or applicable law.
• Coverage outside our four pillars when it would dilute the focus.
