Source Transparency
How VQV.me scans open sources
VQV prefers open and public sources such as RSS feeds, public APIs, official blogs, technical communities, research databases, and code repositories.
Sources is the trust layer: it shows where signals come from, how source health looks, and which public channels are active.
Freshness, source weight, keyword relevance, cross-source confirmation, and novelty are combined into a simple MVP score.
NEW, RISING, SOURCE-BACKED, WATCH, LOW SIGNAL, and NOISE help separate concrete movement from repeated or weak items.
Signal strength reflects source quality, relevance, freshness, and evidence. It is not a claim of independent fact-checking.
VQV may use AI to polish summaries for high-signal items. These summaries are based only on the listed sources and do not represent independent fact-checking.
VQV uses a clear User-Agent, timeouts, limited requests, URL hashing, and feed/API endpoints before any normal web-page crawling.
VQV does not use X/Twitter scraping, does not use paid APIs, and does not claim private or insider information. Public API rate limits are reported as data limits, not hidden failures.
