Sources & Verification

214 words·2 mins·

MeteSec aims to make the basis of an article visible instead of asking readers to trust confident wording alone.

Source priority
#

When possible, technical claims are checked against primary material such as official documentation, standards, vendor advisories, source code, research papers, or direct test results. Reputable secondary reporting is useful for context, but it should not silently replace the underlying source when that source is available.

Practical verification
#

Commands, configurations, detections, and lab observations should be tested in an appropriate environment before they are described as working results. The article should state important limits: product version, date, assumptions, or areas that were not tested.

Personal experience
#

Career reflections and learning reports use first-hand experience as their main source. They can be useful without being universal. These articles distinguish what happened to the author from what another reader should necessarily do.

Uncertainty
#

If available evidence is incomplete or contradictory, the article should say so. Inference is presented as inference. Marketing claims, anonymous screenshots, and repeated claims without a traceable origin are not treated as confirmation.

Reader verification
#

Links and publication dates are included so readers can inspect the material themselves. If a source disappears, changes materially, or no longer supports the claim, please use the contact page to report it.
