Every article carries an Intelligence + Trust card — a quick, honest summary of how the story was made and what can be independently checked.
What the card shows
Sources — the publishers and documents the story draws on, with their role (official, academic, primary, corroborating).
AI review — the story was AI-checked and scored, then governed: weak or unsourced output is held for human review.
Belgian impact — how relevant the story is to Belgium.
Provenance — a tamper-evident record of when it was published and from what sources.
Validiris badge — the trust tier it has reached (below).
The trust ladder
Provenance Recorded
The article and its sources are on record.
Evidence Supported
Recorded on the tamper-evident trust ledger — independently checkable.
Validiris Verified
Passed the full process: editorial sign-off, sources and provenance all complete.
Certified(coming)
Sealed with an independent external timestamp / verifiable credential for the highest-stakes records.
A higher tier means more of the trust process has been completed and proven — never that a story is beyond question. We reserve “Verified” for genuine validation, not mere existence.
