AI usage policy
Strict source, identity, duplication and independent-critic gates control autonomous publication; accountable people remain responsible for corrections.
Where automation is used
Automated systems can monitor approved feeds, cluster related reports, match names against the football database, calculate explainable signals, prepare drafts and create labelled editorial illustrations.
What automation cannot do
It may not invent a quotation, fee, salary, injury, agreement, source or official statement. It may not treat copied reporting as independent confirmation or publish a draft that lacks verified player and club identities.
Two publication paths
Editors may review and publish a draft manually. Separately, a conservative autonomous gate may publish a transfer article only after every required check passes; failure at any step keeps the article private. Each public article states which path was used, and an autonomous article never claims individual human pre-publication review.
Evidence-shaped output and page eligibility
AI drafts are not sources. Sections are created only when source evidence or verified internal football data supports them. A central quality decision separately controls public visibility, indexing, sitemaps, structured data and advertising; a draft or incomplete page cannot gain those privileges through a frontend fallback.
Generated images
Generated covers are editorial illustrations, not documentary photographs. They are visibly labelled and checked for player identity, destination context and misleading visual details.
Accountability
Emre DİLEK, Founder & Editor, is the accountable publisher. The autonomous gate makes an immediate publication decision only when every disclosed check passes; Emre can pause the system, correct or unpublish an article and audit its preserved decision record. AI-assisted and autonomous work follows the same Corrections Policy as manually reviewed work. Sources are never fabricated, and material changes remain attached to the affected article.
