Sources and methods

The news coverage on Framesandfans originates from published feeds and indexes of established news publications. These sources are selected for their consistent reporting on the technology sector, specifically covering the component hardware market and the actual frame rate performance delivered per unit of currency. Each story from these feeds is processed to extract the core information. An automated system assists in creating a concise summary, which is then rewritten into plain prose. The original publication is always credited as the source of the news item.

When a factual claim, such as a performance figure or product specification, appears in only a single publication, it is treated as unverified. These points are either omitted from the summary or explicitly noted as being from a single source. The editorial process prioritises information that is corroborated across multiple reputable outlets or by official manufacturer channels to ensure reliability.

The reference pages, such as those for Components or Build Guides, are constructed differently. They are built from stable, verifiable facts. These are presented in a standardised facts table, detailing specifications, performance data, and value metrics. Each reference page is accompanied by a credited product photograph sourced from official material. These pages are intended as static reference points, distinct from the flowing news coverage.

All news articles and reference pages are subject to a scheduled refresh cycle. News coverage is updated continuously as new information is published by source outlets. The factual reference pages are reviewed and updated on a regular calendar basis, or immediately when a significant product revision or price change is confirmed through official channels. This ensures the information across Framesandfans remains current and accurate.
