Method / v0.1

We construct narratives. We do not invent facts.

These are Narratics’ principles for research, writing, verification, and correction. Automation may increase speed, but it cannot waive a failed publication gate.

From source to sentence

Search and AI answers are used only to discover material. Researchers extract facts, quotations, locations, limitations, and counterevidence from originals into Source Objects and a Claim Ledger. Writers create new work from verified claims and an approved outline.

Three kinds of sentence

Documented

A fact that can be externally verified and is linked to a source.

Analysis

Editorial interpretation grounded in verified facts. Material alternative explanations are addressed.

Scenario—not a factual prediction

A conditional path. It is not fact, fate, diagnosis, or investment advice. If Four Pillars research is used, we disclose the method version, input limits, and at least two alternative paths.

When we do not publish

We do not publish when a core fact lacks support, the draft closely rewrites one article, privacy is needlessly invaded, or a scenario reads as fact.

Corrections

We do not silently overwrite errors. Material changes retain an update date and correction record.
