At CloudwaysReviews, audience trust is the foundation of our work. We aim to publish accurate, fair, and balanced coverage, and we hold every article to high standards.
Commitment to accuracy
“Due accuracy” means more than meeting basic journalistic norms. It means you can rely on our reporting with confidence. For each piece, we consider topic complexity, the type of information, and reasonable reader expectations before we publish.
1) Thorough investigation
Our editorial team examines claims, questions assumptions, and evaluates information from relevant stakeholders. When some details remain unclear after reasonable effort, we say so and avoid overstating conclusions.
2) Standards by content type
Fact-checking depth varies by format. A hands-on test, a quick tip, and an investigative feature have different sourcing needs. We adapt our methods while keeping accuracy non-negotiable.
Guidelines for ensuring accuracy
- Reliable sources: We base coverage on trustworthy, verifiable sources. If primary sources aren’t available, we credit the original outlet.
- Verification of claims: Statements and data from companies, public authorities, or organizations are independently checked wherever possible. If something cannot be verified, we label it clearly.
- Corrections: Inaccuracies are corrected promptly and transparently.
- No misinformation: We do not mislead, fabricate, or manipulate information. Significant errors are acknowledged and fixed without delay.
- Reader feedback: Every article invites feedback so you can report potential inaccuracies.
Fact-checking methodology
- Editorial review: All content goes through internal fact-checking, followed by review by one or more editors based on sensitivity and complexity.
- Engagement with sources: We contact relevant parties for comment or clarification when appropriate and note outreach when it adds useful context.
- Expert input: We consult subject-matter experts when needed and document the basis for key conclusions.
Sourcing principles
- Two-source preference: When feasible, important facts are confirmed with at least two independent sources. Single-source claims get extra scrutiny.
- Documents over anecdotes: We prioritize documentation, public filings, technical notes, logs, and repeatable tests over unverified statements.
- Survey transparency: If we cite surveys, we disclose methodology and limitations.
- On-the-record: We favor on-the-record sources and provide context about their credibility and relevance.
User-generated content (UGC)
UGC needs extra care. When we include reader tips, screenshots, or social posts, we:
- Verify the source and seek permission when applicable
- Label what is confirmed versus what is unverified or opinion
- Distinguish facts from rumor or speculation
Responsibility for accuracy and AI
AI tools may assist with outlines, transcripts, or drafting. Our editorial team is solely responsible for fact-checking and the final content. Every article is reviewed before publication to uphold our commitment to trustworthy reporting.
