Formats & Methods

How we work.

Every article follows a defined format. Here we document which analysis and article types we use — so you know what to expect.

Analysis Types

How we investigate topics — transparent, reproducible, with multiple perspectives.

REV

AI Review

Structured analysis of an external document by an AI model. Prompt and metadata are documented. Every analysis is traceable and in principle reproducible.

MMV

Multi-Model Comparison

The same document is independently analysed by multiple models. Comparison reveals blind spots of individual models.

MBR

Media Review

Analysis of external media — TV shows, YouTube videos, podcasts. Transcript-based, then multi-model analysis with fact-checking.

MetaMedia

Rhetoric Analysis

Sports commentary for rhetoric — with an open rulebook. Four-level model: structure, Toulmin argumentation, rhetorical techniques, fact layer.

DEX

Data Extraction

Systematic extraction of structured data from documents — tables, lists, key figures. Foundation for fact-checking and visualisation.

REP

Replication

Repeating an analysis with a different model. Same prompt, different tool. Tests the robustness of results.

Opinion Formats

Context, commentary, counter-proposals — the voices of our editorial team.

EDT

Editorial

Joint editorial assessment by the team on a topic or publication. All four voices contribute.

EGB

It can be better

Constructive counter-proposal derived from an analysis. Not just criticising — but showing how it could be done differently.

KOM

Commentary

Individual voice of a team member on a current topic. Personal, pointed, transparently labelled.

Publications

Completed documents — citable, versioned, Open Access.

PP

Position Paper

Analysis and position in one document. Numbered (PP-001, PP-002, ...), versioned, with evidence matrix and policy demands.

PL

Practical Guide

Handbook for a specific audience. Legally and practically sound. For reference and application.

DS

Dataset

Accompanying data for an analysis — Excel, CSV, JSON. For verification and further research.

Series & Participation

Formats that appear across all sections — and how you can contribute.

LAB

AI Lab

We investigate our own methods: what works, what doesn't, and why? Prompt experiments, model comparisons on methodology, bias checks. Editorial self-reflection.

EMP

Editorial Picks

Curated reading tips and links — what our editorial team reads and recommends. Appears as a tag across all sections.

LB

Letter to the Editor

Have something to say? We publish selected letters — agreement, disagreement, additions. All welcome.
