How we source

Every GenZHype timeline is built on these rules:

Primary sources first

We prioritize the original material: the actual post, video, livestream, court filing, or official statement. Where we rely on reporting by another outlet, we attribute it by name.

Every claim is attributed

No event appears on a timeline without a source. If a claim cannot be sourced, it does not run.

Unproven means alleged

Allegations, leaks, and disputed accounts are clearly labeled as alleged or reportedly, and attributed to whoever made them. We do not state unproven accusations as fact, and we do not state that anyone committed a crime unless there is an official charge or conviction to cite.

Living documents

Situations evolve. We append new dated, sourced events and update the "last updated" date when a page changes. We do not change dates without a substantive update.

Checked before it goes live

Every page must pass our quality checks (depth, sourcing and accuracy) before it publishes. When we get something wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
