We are transparent about the role AI plays in our work. This page describes it plainly.

Drafting
Our articles are drafted with AI. Drafting starts from primary sources, and every factual claim in a draft is logged with its source and the passage it rests on.
Automated quality gates and fact-checking
Every draft passes automated quality gates, an editing pass and a separate fact-checking pass in which its claims (figures, dates, names, and regulatory facts) are verified against primary sources such as exchange documentation, public on-chain data, and official regulatory information. A draft that fails a gate is held back, not published.
Human approval and publishing
Articles are published on a fixed schedule, and only after they pass the editing and fact-checking passes and a human editor has reviewed and approved them. A draft that fails either pass is held back and goes back for correction. Articles published before July 2026 went through an earlier fact-checking process and are being rechecked.
What we have not done
Unless an article says otherwise, our reviews are based on documentation, official filings, and public data, not on hands-on testing of the product. Where we do test something ourselves, the article says so and shows it.
Bylines
All content is published under the LakeBTC Editorial Team byline, which is an organizational byline. We do not use fictional author personas. An earlier pseudonymous byline was retired in July 2026, and all published articles were re-attributed to the Editorial Team.
Review scores
Scores in our reviews are calculated from a published rubric and are never generated freely. See how we research and fact-check.
