How PulseAugur summaries are written, sourced, and corrected.

How summaries are written

Every cluster summary on PulseAugur is written by a current frontier large-language model — Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Opus 4.7, and GPT-5 are the three we rotate through. The model receives the full text of the source articles in the cluster, a schema-validated prompt that constrains output shape (length, bucket label, entity list, forward-looking impact blurb), and no editorial commentary from us. Every output is validated against the source articles before it ships. Summaries are tagged with an AI chip on the cluster page so it is immediately visible that the prose is machine-written.

Source attribution

Every cluster page lists every source article that fed the cluster — publisher name, byline, original title (translated to English where applicable, with a language chip preserving the original), publication timestamp, and a link to the canonical URL. The same list ships in machine-readable form via schema.org NewsArticle.isBasedOn so crawlers and AI engines can treat the cluster as a citable roundup of independent sources rather than as original reporting. We do not generate citations for sources we haven't actually ingested.

What we don't do

  • We do not auto-publish LLM-only opinions. Cluster summaries consolidate the coverage; they do not invent angles that no source took.
  • We do not fabricate quotes. If the model produced a quote that doesn't appear in any source article, the summary fails validation and is regenerated.
  • We do not insert editorial commentary into source summaries. The forward-looking AI impact blurb is clearly labeled and scoped to industry implications, not to endorsements or critiques of the underlying source.
  • We do not take payment from any AI vendor in exchange for placement, ranking, or coverage. Sources that buy press get clustered the same way as sources that don't.

Corrections

If a cluster summary, AI impact blurb, score, or attribution is wrong, email [email protected] with the cluster URL and the specific issue. We commit to acknowledging the report within 24 hours and to publishing a correction (or a rebuttal of the claim, if we think the original was right) within 48 hours. Corrections update the cluster's dateModified timestamp so syndicated indexes pick up the change automatically.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure

PulseAugur's founder, Chris Valentine, also runs an unrelated consulting business (RdyGo) and has prior ownership stakes in ventures unrelated to AI infrastructure. None of those businesses receive ranking preference or coverage in PulseAugur, and PulseAugur does not accept money from AI vendors, AI labs, or AI-adjacent companies in exchange for placement, ranking, or coverage. If that ever changes, this page changes first.
