How this analysis was produced
- Data sources
- bbc.co.uk
- What the AI did
- An AI model read the source article, classified the event, wrote the headline, the key takeaway and the chain of steps from the event to a small business, and gave the cost direction where the evidence supports one.
- Checked automatically
- the publication gate: the analysis finished cleanly and its served text passed the public-content rules; no investment-recommendation wording; a cost direction is withheld when the story's own words point the other way; the indexing rule: only stories with a cost direction, a three-step chain, a named organisation and a small-business cost are offered to search engines.
- What people did
- No person read this page before it was published. People set the rules the engine follows and the sources it reads, and review every error that is reported.
