How we decide what to publish

Every material fact is checked against a named public source or a documented on-the-record account. Nothing publishes on inference. Where a figure is undisclosed, we say undisclosed rather than estimating without labelling it.

Extraction and drafting may be assisted by automated tools, but an editor reviews and approves each article and each structured record. The person who approves a fact is accountable for it.

We prefer primary documents: filings, regulatory decisions, contract notices, company statements. Where sources speak on condition of anonymity, we explain why and what corroboration exists.

Rumoured transactions are labelled as rumoured, with the basis stated. Speculative valuations are not presented as facts, and target names are withheld where publication would be unfair or unverified.

Analysis is labelled and attributed. Forecasts state their method and assumptions. Index values carry published methodology and are editorial indicators, not regulated benchmarks.

Errors are corrected promptly and disclosed rather than quietly amended. Corrections note what changed and when. Database revisions are logged the same way.

Commercial relationships, memberships and sponsorships do not influence coverage. Commercial content, where it exists, is clearly identified and produced separately from the newsroom.

Everything published is for information only. Nothing on this site constitutes investment, financial, legal or medical advice.
