Every answer comes from The Thursday Times and Pakistan’s official record. Where they do not settle a question, Thursday AI says so.
Our reporting and commentary come first: dated, edited, and labelled as news or opinion. An answer never quotes a column as if it were news.
Statements, data releases, notifications and gazettes, read at the source where the record matters, with the date it was issued.
State Bank · Bureau of Statistics · Election Commission · The Gazette · Ministries · Courts
No other news outlets, no social media, no anonymous web pages, no forwarded messages as evidence, and no memory of the internet. If it is in neither source, the answer says so.
Four squares. Orange is the only colour on an answer, and it means one thing: how much of the claim is proven.
Read in an official record or confirmed by a Thursday Times reporter, and signed off by a person.
Most answers about fees, dates, decisions and published figures.
Supported by the record, with one point still open. The open point is named.
When a notification is expected but not yet issued, or one detail cannot be read at the source.
Two accounts contradict each other. Both are shown, each with its source, and nothing is chosen for you.
Both-sides questions, and claims an office has denied.
Nobody has been able to check this yet. It is treated as a claim, not a fact, and the answer says what would settle it.
Fresh forwards and rumours. Pakistan Now lists these so you can see what is being asked.
If a fact is in neither source, the answer is three words: we don’t know. Yet.
Not to confirm, not to contradict, not even to summarise.
A post is a claim to check, never evidence.
If it has no author and no date, it has no place in an answer.
What you send us is the question. The answer comes from the record.
The model writes. It is not allowed to remember facts for us.
Each authority is read at its own source. Where a document exists in English and Urdu, both are read.
