Not A Tech Guy explains technology, AI and the Australian property market in plain English. This page describes how the publication works and the standards its stories must meet.
What this publication is
Not A Tech Guy is a personal project: an automated publication its owner built to follow and decode AI and technology developments from around the world, shared publicly in case others find it useful. It is not a commercial news organisation.
How stories are produced
Every article starts from an audited evidence pack: a set of claims, each tied to a named source. The pipeline prioritises primary sources — the RBA or ABS release, the research paper, the company's own announcement — over second-hand reporting, and every factual claim in an article carries an inline citation to a source listed at the end of the piece.
An automated publication
Not A Tech Guy is produced end-to-end by an audited automated system, and we believe you deserve to know that plainly. Articles are researched, written, validated and published by automated AI pipelines working strictly from the evidence pack described above — they are not permitted to introduce facts, numbers or quotes that are not in the sourced evidence. Every article must pass automated validation gates (source verification, plagiarism and accuracy checks) before it publishes, and every decision is recorded in an audit trail.
Articles are not individually reviewed by a human before publication. The owner designs and maintains the system and the rules it must follow, but the content itself is machine-generated — which is why every article lists its sources, so you can verify any claim yourself, and why nothing on this site should ever be relied on as advice (see the terms of use).
Header images are AI-generated illustrations and are labelled as such in their captions.
Standards
- Accuracy first. A story only runs when the evidence supports it. When the evidence is thin, we say so — every article ends with a "What we don't know yet" section listing the open questions.
- No advice. We publish information and analysis, never personal financial, legal or medical advice, and we don't predict prices.
- Attribution. Reported and unconfirmed material is attributed as such. Social-media items are treated as discussion signals, not verified facts.
- Independence. We accept no payment for coverage. Reader support (free subscriptions and tips) is our only revenue.
