Methodology

How we plan to find the extraordinary.

iHolyShit is in development. These are the principles guiding our editorial process, not a claim that every feature is live.

Events before headlines

We aim to group reporting about the same event and distinguish independent confirmation from repeated coverage.

Evidence before excitement

Sources should support factual claims. Uncertainty and conflicting reports need editorial attention; AI output must be checked by a person before publication.

Surprise is not certainty

The iHolyShit Index measures how remarkable a story may be. It is separate from confidence in the underlying facts, and its scoring method still needs evaluation.

Respect for sources

Our approach requires separate permission for accessing, storing, processing, and displaying source material. Availability alone does not grant those rights.
