The team
Loro reports from primary records: company filings, regulatory notices, share dealings by directors, political donations. Some stories are found and written by software, some by people, and every byline says which. This page sets out who and what stands behind each one.
Bylines
Loro Staff Writers
Stories under this byline are written or edited by Loro journalists and checked against the primary records before they are published. Each one names and links the filings, registers and notices it is built on, so a reader can check every figure for themselves.
Loro Desk
The Loro Desk drafts stories from the leads the engine raises, to the same evidence standard as the newsroom: specific figures, each claim tied to the record it comes from, quotes only where the record holds one. A draft waits 24 hours for an editor. If none picks it up, it is published under this byline with a line saying it was not reviewed.
Loro Intelligence Engine
The Loro Intelligence Engine reads primary records as they are published: company filings, regulatory notices, share dealings by directors, political donations and more. It flags what is out of the ordinary against a baseline, and for a narrow set of routine records it writes and publishes the story itself. Every piece it publishes names the records it was built from and says that no editor reviewed it.

How a story is made
- 01
The engine reads the records
Registers and filings are read as they are published, and compared with a baseline so that only what is out of the ordinary is raised.
- 02
The Desk drafts
Leads become drafts, each figure tied to the record it comes from. A draft waits 24 hours for an editor before it can go out on its own.
- 03
An editor checks and publishes
Anything an editor has not reviewed says so under the byline. Every story links the filings it is built on.
The standard
- Specific figures from the record, never “sharply” or “significantly”.
- Every substantive claim names the filing or register it comes from.
- Quotes only where the source holds one, attributed by name.
- A silent or failing source is shown openly on the sources page.
