Methodology

Every claim, tied to
a real source.

A Deep Dive is only as good as what it reads. Here is how we choose the sources, weigh them, and make every claim checkable.

How we choose sources

For every topic we gather a wide pool of candidate material — videos, academic papers, long-form articles and transcripts — then evaluate each for relevance, credibility and recency before it earns a place in your dive. A typical dive draws on 50+ evaluated sources.

The kinds of sources we read

VIDEO

Video & lectures

Talks, courses and explainers — transcribed and timestamped so claims point to the exact moment.

PAPER

Academic papers

Peer-reviewed research and preprints, weighted by venue and citation.

ARTICLE

Long-form articles

Reporting and essays from credible publications and primary authors.

TRANSCRIPT

Interviews & transcripts

First-hand accounts and conversations, attributed to the speaker.

Our citation standard

Every factual claim in a Deep Dive carries a numbered citation that links to the source behind it. Where sources agree, we say so. Where they conflict, we show both and tell you which is stronger — never a single confident answer with nowhere to check it.

What we won’t do

  • We don’t invent sources or quotes.
  • We don’t hide where a claim came from.
  • We don’t present one view as settled when the sources disagree.

For rights holders

Dives summarise, synthesise, and cite; they are not reproductions — we want readers clicking through to originals. If you believe a Deep Dive reproduces your work beyond fair synthesis and citation, or you want your attribution corrected, contact sources@speedlearning.com [TBD — confirm mailbox] with the dive topic, the material in question, and your relationship to it. Formal DMCA notices: [TBD — register a designated agent with the US Copyright Office and list the agent’s contact details here].
