Knowledge Soup exists to make accurate information delightful without making it misleading. This policy explains how we choose, verify, and correct our stories.
Accuracy before virality
We do not publish a claim simply because it is popular. Each factual story must be supported by an identifiable source and must preserve the qualifications or context that materially affect its meaning.
Source standards
We prefer primary and authoritative sources: government agencies, museums, universities, peer-reviewed research, standards bodies, and original company records. When a secondary source is useful, we look for independent confirmation and link to the strongest available evidence.
Headlines and visuals
Headlines may be concise, but they must remain faithful to the evidence. Illustrations and comparisons are explanatory, not documentary proof. We avoid invented measurements, fake diagrams, misleading scale, and unlicensed trademarks or characters.
AI-assisted work
AI may help organize information, draft language, translate, or create original illustrations. A human editor remains responsible for source selection, fact-checking, final wording, visual review, and publication.
Corrections
When a material error is confirmed, we correct it promptly and note significant changes on the article. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a correction note.
Commercial independence
Advertising or affiliate relationships do not determine our factual conclusions. Sponsored or affiliate content will be labeled where applicable.
