This page explains how Haut-Hisse articles are chosen, researched, written, checked, illustrated and updated, and what role artificial intelligence plays.
How we choose topics
We start from questions readers actually ask, within our seven topics: brand stories, money psychology, behind the story, ads and marketing, mental models and philosophy, engineering failures, charisma and communication. A topic is kept if we can answer it more clearly or more completely than what already exists.
Our sources
- We favor primary sources: company filings and annual reports, official registers, investigation reports (BEA, NTSB…), published studies, period archives, original interviews.
- Every figure is linked to its source in the paragraph where it appears, and sources are listed at the end of the article.
- Wealth estimates, celebrity columns and mass-generated content sites are never used as the source of a figure.
- When sources conflict or something isn’t established, we flag it rather than settling it without evidence.
Writing and the use of artificial intelligence
Articles, signed by the site’s founder, are prepared with artificial intelligence tools, which carry out the desk research and a first version of the text. A second model, separate from the first, rereads the article to check facts and figures. Automated checks then block any article containing an unsourced figure or a dead link. Finally, every article is read by a human before publication: nothing goes live automatically.
We do not invent testimonials, experts or lived experience. In advertising breakdowns, the founder gives a personal analysis.
Images and visuals
- Photographs: freely licensed photos (Wikimedia Commons in particular), credited under the image with their license.
- Charts and diagrams: made by us from the article’s sourced figures; the source appears on the visual.
- AI-generated images: used as illustrations, never to depict a real person or a real document or event. They are identified as such in their metadata (IPTC standard).
Money and personal decisions
Our articles about money explain mechanisms and behaviors; they are not financial or investment advice suited to your situation.
Updates and corrections
We regularly revise our articles to add new data or correct what needs correcting. An update is only made if it brings a real change, and the update date is shown. Spotted an error? Report it through the Contact page: we check it and correct the article if it holds up.
Independence
Our content is not sponsored. If an article ever contains an affiliate link or a partnership, it will be clearly flagged in the article.
