How Bulleted builds a brief

Collect and preserve

Bulleted collects selected reports and stores their title, metadata, body, publication time, language, Open Graph fields and structured data separately. Source records are retained for newsroom verification; the public brief does not reproduce the source article.

Group independent reporting

Feeds are associated with publisher organisations before corroboration is counted. Several reports or updates from one newsroom can improve the timeline, but they count as one independent publisher.

• A first publication normally requires four independent publisher organisations.
• A material update normally requires reporting from at least two publisher organisations.
• Source-optional creative formats follow a separate editorial policy and are labelled by format.

Compare events and claims

Automated matching compares language, entities, place, time and semantic similarity to suggest whether incoming reporting belongs to a new event, an existing event or a material update. The result is a recommendation, not a publishing decision.

Key points can be mapped to the specific stored reports that support them. Public evidence links identify the supporting organisations without exposing protected source excerpts or internal editorial notes.

Draft in Bulleted form

Automation may translate and synthesize the reporting into an English-language title, concise bullets and optional explanatory sections. AI output is never counted as a source. The draft is checked for source-site boilerplate, repeated bullets, publisher names inside editorial copy and excessive similarity to source wording.

Human publication decision

During the controlled rollout, every new article and every material update remains in Review until an authorised editor verifies the sources, facts, wording, matching decision and similarity result. The editor may edit, defer, hide, redirect, merge or publish the brief.

Updates, corrections and accountability

Material developments create a new article version and can return the story to the top of the news flow. Corrections and rollbacks are distinguished from ordinary updates. The public article shows its current version, source breadth and publication history, while the protected newsroom retains the complete audit record.

Illustrations and listening

Generated backgrounds are illustrative rather than documentary and are labelled accordingly. Listening controls use the reader’s device speech engine, never start automatically and do not change the written editorial record.
