Editorial Standards & Corrections
How Harderware verifies hardware announcements, funding and technical claims.
Last reviewed November 10, 2026Original-source reporting
We prioritize original press releases, filings, publicly available repositories, research papers, standards bodies and official engineering documentation. Secondary coverage is used to add context and independent confirmation where available.
Story labeling
A story may have several categories, such as Product Announcements and Fundraising, when the same documented event supports both. Category tags are not evidence of a completed sale, delivered unit or closed investment round.
Verification and uncertainty
Every published story must have an original source URL, attribution, relevant dates and an editorial review marker. We label vendor-reported results, unverified shipping status and claims needing independent validation. The presence of a company name in an article does not establish an investment or partnership.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected with updated content and an accountable note. The corresponding source and date trail should be preserved. Requests can be sent through the official contact channels.
Research versus publication
Candidate reports, fictional demo records and proposed ecosystem relationships must not be passed off as verified journalism. Our demo content is isolated from public editorial news.
Independence
Coverage should not be presented as paid placement without clear labeling. If advertising or sponsorship is introduced, disclosures and a separate review process are required.
