Methodology
Our work is guided by a transparent editorial method grounded in evidence, public sources, and structured analysis.
How we work
TIDE Bangladesh uses an evidence-based approach to monitor, verify, and analyze politics, governance, and public claims.
Our editorial work is structured around clear content types so readers can understand the purpose and nature of what they are reading.
Monitoring
Our monitoring work focuses on:
- political developments
- governance actions
- institutional decisions
- public announcements
- rights-related developments
Monitoring entries are designed to be short, structured, and timely.
Analysis
Our analysis pieces are longer-form and interpretive. They aim to provide context, identify patterns, explain implications, and connect events to broader institutional and political developments.
Analysis is based on:
- available evidence
- public documents
- official statements
- relevant historical and political context
- careful editorial review
Fact checks
Our fact-checking process examines specific claims made by public actors or circulated in public discourse.
We classify claims using verdicts such as:
- True
- False
- Misleading
- Unverified
- Out of Context
Each fact check is based on available evidence and clearly explained reasoning.
Explainers
Explainers are educational pieces designed to make complex institutions, issues, and processes easier to understand. They are intended to be accessible, structured, and grounded in public relevance.
Reports
Reports are longer-form editorial or research outputs that bring together evidence, developments, and analysis in a more structured format.
Sources
We prioritize:
- official documents
- public statements
- primary records
- public data where available
- reliable reporting and source material
Where information is incomplete, contested, or uncertain, we aim to say so clearly.
Editorial separation
We distinguish between:
- Monitoring
- Analysis
- Fact Check
- Explainers
- Reports
This helps readers understand the editorial purpose of each piece.
Corrections
If an error is identified, we review it and correct it where necessary. Accuracy, clarity, and accountability are essential to our editorial process.
