GemStateHub aggregates local intelligence for Idahoresidents. Here's exactly how we source, verify, and publish content - and why you should trust it.
Every intel item traces back to an official source - weather.gov, state DOT, transit agencies, venue sites. We extract un-copyrightable facts: dates, times, locations, prices. We don't publish speculation.
Each item goes through source verification: Is the event confirmed on the organizer's site? Is the road closure on official 511? Is the weather alert from NWS? If we can't verify it, we don't publish it.
Intel briefings are refreshed daily. Events are refreshed weekly. Every item shows a "Last updated" timestamp. Our automated freshness checker flags stale content so nothing quietly rots.
We are a discovery layer, not a destination. Every item links to the original source so you can verify it yourself and take action directly. We route you to the source - we don't replace it.
Every card shows where the information came from: Official, Venue, Ticketing, or Media. You always know the provenance. No mystery content.
When we write original analysis (like "why it matters"), it's clearly our editorial voice. When we cite facts, the source is always named. You can always tell the difference.
Every source badge, every timestamp, every outbound link - it's all live on the intel page.
