Sources & Method

The site-wide rules for original links, human authorship, data attribution, uncertainty, feature status, and corrections.

TriWei is designed to help readers find and inspect original work without presenting machine-generated paraphrases as editorial research.

Site-wide publication contract

These rules apply to the homepage, Research Lineage Library, AI Hardware, Industry Data, Ethics Sources, Workbench, About, and every future public page or subpage.

TriWei must:

  1. link to the original author, publisher, organization, repository, company, or public institution whenever a third-party source is presented;
  2. preserve source metadata without guessing a byline, date, publisher, or canonical URL;
  3. identify whether a displayed value is a source statement, a vendor specification, an external measurement, an automated collection count, or original TriWei analysis;
  4. keep claims attached to the person or organization that made them;
  5. expose material uncertainty, review dates, expired records, and source gaps;
  6. prefer an incomplete page over copied text, an intermediary URL, an invented attribution, or a generated substitute; and
  7. publish substantive TriWei analysis only after independent human research, human authorship, source review, attribution review, and approval.

Useful information before limitation notices

Ethical safeguards should not become the primary content of the site. A topic page should provide useful source-linked information before discussing an unfinished feature. When a richer feature cannot yet be published:

  • the currently usable register or source material remains visible;
  • the withheld feature is moved to the Workbench & Roadmap;
  • the workbench identifies the intended value, the reason it is not yet public, and the acceptance gate required for publication; and
  • a permanently rejected method is recorded as retired rather than repeatedly reconsidered as an unfinished feature.

A page may still place authorship, provenance, source status, or a concise publication-mode disclosure beside the information when that context is necessary to interpret it responsibly.

Core publication rule

TriWei does not publish AI-written synopses, summaries, or explanations of third-party articles or papers that TriWei has not independently researched and human-authored.

A link collection is not original reporting. A generated paraphrase is not a substitute for reading the author. When TriWei has not produced original, human-authored analysis, the site presents source metadata, source-dated fields, and a direct link only.

A public source record should preserve:

  • the source’s original title when it has been verified;
  • the named author or byline when the source supplies one;
  • the responsible publisher, organization, repository, company, or public institution;
  • the publication date or reference period when available; and
  • the direct canonical source URL.

TriWei does not guess an author. When no individual byline is supplied, the site identifies the responsible publisher or institution.

Google News, search engines, social feeds, aggregators, and similar services may help locate candidate material, but their intermediary URLs are not presented as the original author’s piece. An item is withheld until a direct source URL is available.

Source metadata is not verification

Inclusion in a TriWei register means that TriWei recorded a direct source or a source-dated value. It does not mean:

  • every claim in the source was independently verified;
  • the source is endorsed;
  • the source is complete or unbiased;
  • a provider allegation was independently adjudicated;
  • a vendor specification predicts real-world performance;
  • a public institution’s page constitutes legal advice; or
  • TriWei’s collection is a complete account of the field.

Readers should inspect the original source and its context.

Original TriWei analysis

A future TriWei analysis must be:

  1. independently researched by a human;
  2. human-authored as an original TriWei work;
  3. supported by an inspectable source list;
  4. reviewed for attribution, uncertainty, material omissions, and conflicts;
  5. dated and assigned a named author or responsible editorial owner;
  6. clearly separated from automated feed output and source metadata; and
  7. subject to correction and revision.

AI tools may assist site code, accessibility work, source discovery, metadata checks, testing, and internal organization. They must not generate the published synopsis of a third-party article or paper. Any substantive TriWei analysis remains the responsibility and work of its human author.

A scheduled GitHub Actions job collects candidate headlines from feeds. On public pages, automated material may display only:

  • the feed’s original headline when it can be preserved accurately;
  • the publisher;
  • an author when the feed explicitly supplies one;
  • the publication date when available; and
  • a direct source URL.

The public index does not display feed descriptions or generated summaries. Items that only have a Google News or other intermediary URL are withheld.

Automated collection remains a discovery mechanism, not an editorial verdict:

  • recurrence in the collected sample does not establish importance or truth;
  • multiple links do not prove source independence;
  • folder placement is a navigation aid, not endorsement or condemnation;
  • machine-applied tags are not findings of wrongdoing, safety, legality, or merit; and
  • collection does not convert an author’s reporting into a TriWei factual record.

Feature states

TriWei uses three public feature states:

  • Published now — useful information that currently meets the source, attribution, and authorship requirements.
  • Research workbench — a feature concept with an explicit publication gate; its unfinished interpretive content is not presented as complete.
  • Retired method — an approach TriWei has decided not to use because it conflicts with the publication standard or creates a misleading impression.

Workbench placement is not a release promise. A feature may move to published only when its gate is satisfied, or to retired when a safe and useful implementation cannot be justified.

Page-specific publication boundaries

Research Lineage Library

The Research Lineage Library publishes verified scholarly metadata and direct links to original abstract pages. Its first release uses chronological, topic-based reading paths to help readers locate papers without reproducing or paraphrasing their abstracts.

Candidate selection and metadata organization were assisted by OpenAI ChatGPT. That assistance is disclosed on the page. TriWei remains responsible for publication, correction, and deciding whether a record should appear.

The current library does not claim that:

  • a paper is important, foundational, correct, peer reviewed, accepted, or influential;
  • chronological proximity establishes citation, influence, causation, priority, validation, or supersession;
  • appearing on arXiv establishes peer review or endorsement; or
  • the library is complete.

Relationship labels such as “introduces,” “extends,” “tests,” “replicates,” “critiques,” or “applies” remain unpublished until a human verifies the specific relationship against the papers and their citations.

TriWei links to arXiv abstract pages rather than copying PDFs, abstracts, figures, or tables. Reuse rights depend on the license selected for the specific paper version. TriWei does not use arXiv branding in a way that suggests affiliation or endorsement.

AI Hardware

AI Hardware publishes source-dated manufacturer fields and original references. Vendor specifications are not independent benchmarks, and unlike compute, power, memory, and interconnect labels may not be comparable. The intended visual explainers and their acceptance gate are recorded in the Workbench.

Industry Data

Industry Data publishes source-dated API prices, primary-source supply-chain references, and attributed model-access records. The intended visual atlas and its acceptance gate are recorded in the Workbench. Coverage frequency is not presented as market importance, power, quality, or truth.

Ethics Sources

Ethics Sources publishes original public-institution records. The intended human-authored Ethics Watch and its acceptance gate are recorded in the Workbench. Machine tags, feed frequency, sentiment, and keyword matches are not published as ethical judgments or findings of harm, intent, legality, safety, or importance.

Attribution and responsible use

TriWei links outward and attributes third-party work to its author, publisher, organization, repository, company, or institution. It does not claim ownership of third-party reporting, research, names, logos, marks, datasets, or specifications.

Direct quotations should be limited to situations where exact wording is necessary. Any quotation must remain short, attributed, and linked to its original context. Article bodies and paper bodies are not reproduced.

Corrections and revisions

TriWei treats correction as part of responsible publication, not something to conceal. Material changes are recorded on Corrections & Revisions.

A material change should be classified as one of the following:

  • Correction — a published factual statement was wrong.
  • Clarification — wording was materially ambiguous or incomplete.
  • Source update — the underlying source changed, disappeared, or was superseded.
  • Link correction — an intermediary, broken, or incorrect URL was replaced with the original source.
  • Attribution correction — the author, publisher, or responsible institution was misstated.
  • Expiry — current information passed its review deadline and must no longer appear current.
  • Feature-status change — a feature moved among published, workbench, or retired states.
  • Withdrawal — material was removed because its provenance, permission, accuracy, or authorship could not be supported.

A material correction should identify what changed, why it changed, the date of revision, and the affected page or record. Minor spelling, formatting, and accessibility repairs may be corrected without a formal log when they do not alter meaning.

The absence of a listed correction is not a claim that the site is error-free. Readers should inspect original sources and report material problems through the public project repository.
