Sourcing Standards

Every StrikeOrbit article is built from verified sources. We prioritise primary sources — government reports, official statements, congressional testimony, and institutional publications — supplemented by established think tank research and reporting from credible, named news organisations. Every external source cited in our articles is verified as live and accurately represented before publication. We do not rely on unverified social media claims, anonymous forum discussion, or content aggregators as primary sources for factual claims.

Currency and Accuracy

Defence, space, and geopolitical developments change quickly. We date our analysis clearly and update articles when significant new developments materially change the picture we have presented. Where an assessment is uncertain or contested among credible sources, we say so explicitly rather than presenting a single view as settled fact.

Corrections

If an error is identified in any StrikeOrbit article, we correct it and note the correction where the change is material to the article’s conclusions. Readers who identify a factual error are encouraged to contact us through our Contact page.

Independence

StrikeOrbit accepts no sponsored content and no payment for coverage of any kind. We do not accept funding from governments, militaries, defence contractors, or any organisation with a direct interest in the subjects our analysis covers. Our editorial judgement is our own.

Analytical Approach

We aim to explain the strategic logic behind developments rather than simply reporting that they occurred. Where a topic involves genuine geopolitical disagreement, we present the range of credible perspectives rather than advocating for one side. Our goal is to help readers understand a situation clearly enough to form their own judgement, not to persuade them toward a particular conclusion.
