Editorial policy and use of AI
What is automated, what a human controls, and how we handle sources and mistakes.
AI-generated content
Match pages are written automatically by AI language models from public sources and data. Currently the analysis and page text use GLM 5.3 Flash (Z.ai, via OpenRouter), with Google Gemini as a fallback. A human editor controls the methodology, the prompts and the rules below, and checks pages selectively. Every match page carries a note saying it was generated by AI.
Sources and citations
- Each fact on a match page links to the source it came from, with the date we read it.
- We write our own short summary. We don't copy articles and don't quote more than a few words.
- When sources disagree, we say so rather than pick a side silently.
- We prefer club websites, established national media and reliable team-news outlets; we exclude tipster and betting-tip pages as sources of fact.
Sensitive topics
We mention players' personal matters (illness, family loss, private life) only when a reliable source confirms it and it affects availability or the match, and then without detail. We don't speculate about private lives or publish rumours as facts.
Predictions are never edited
Once published, a prediction cannot be changed, only followed by a new version before kick-off. The full history is on every match page and in the ledger.
Mistakes
If a page states a wrong fact, we correct the text and log it on the corrections page. Probabilities are not corrected; they stay as published. Report an error: [email protected].
