ProDrone Insights uses a source hierarchy and documented review approach so readers can understand where important claims come from and how changing information is handled.
Source priority
- Primary and official authorities, including regulators, governments and standards bodies.
- First-party manufacturer, platform and technical documentation.
- Peer-reviewed or authoritative institutional sources.
- High-quality specialist editorial sources.
- Reputable general secondary sources for context.
Source freshness
Freshness is claim-specific. Fast-changing subjects such as regulation, fees, product availability and platform rules require more frequent verification than stable technical concepts or historical facts.
How sources appear in articles
Important claims should link to relevant sources near the claim or in a clearly labelled references section. Articles should identify jurisdiction, date and applicable version where these affect interpretation.
Original research
When ProDrone Insights publishes original data or research, the article should describe the methodology, sample or population, collection period, exclusions, calculation method, data provenance, known limitations and update policy. Work that cannot support those elements should not be presented as formal research.
Images and media
Images, charts and diagrams should have a known source or rights basis. AI-generated visuals, when used, should not be presented as documentary photography, real customer evidence or proof of a physical test.
