AI Crypto News Research: Trace the Conclusion Back to the Tool Results

News conclusions rest on articles and their times. Each claim should trace to a source the assistant actually retrieved, with publication time.

Short answer

To verify AI news research, find each claim in a retrieved source, note whether it's primary or secondary, check the publication time, and compare with the price window cited. Claims that appear in no retrieved source, or causal links where price moved before publication, are unsupported. Paraphrases that strengthen hedged reporting ('may' → 'will') are a common distortion.

Illustrative: the source was real, but the rally began 38 minutes before publication. The causal claim didn't survive the trace.
