How Helix handles evidence
Science changes by design. Our templates are built to show status, sourcing, limits, and updates without turning uncertainty into confusion.
Evidence Labels
Every story distinguishes peer-reviewed work, preprints, analysis, field reporting, interviews, and explainers.
Uncertainty
We name limits, sample sizes, competing explanations, and what researchers do not yet know.
Images and Data
Captions identify credits and context. Demonstration data is labeled as demonstration data.
Corrections
Corrections remain attached to the article and include the nature of the change.
