Editorial policy

Clear sourcing, clear edits, and a practical correction path.

The site is meant to behave like a real editorial product: source the information, keep the copy specific, and separate reporting from promotions.

01

Sourcing

Stories should be built from published filings, company releases, market data, public statements, and other traceable sources.

02

Editing

Copy should be plain, factual, and short enough to scan without losing meaning on a small screen.

03

Corrections

If something is wrong, fix it quickly and note the update clearly. No hiding changes in generic language.

04

Independence

Editorial coverage stays separate from advertising, sponsored placements, and paid submissions.

Standard

Readable and traceable

Every article should show enough context for a reader to understand what it is about without extra work.

Standard

Specific over generic

Weak filler gets removed. The copy should sound like it was written by a publication desk, not a marketing tool.

Standard

Useful on mobile

Headlines, cards, and article layouts are designed to work cleanly on narrow screens and older phones.

What readers can expect

Editorial pages should identify the subject clearly, avoid unsupported certainty, and distinguish reported facts from analysis. Material claims should be checked against traceable sources such as filings, regulator publications, company statements, technical papers, or named data providers. Source quality should match the importance of the claim.

Headlines should describe the change without overstating its scale. Forecasts should be labelled as forecasts, planned projects as planned projects, and early research as early research. Where a page is updated, the change should be recorded rather than hidden.

Corrections should be made when an error is found. If a material error changes the meaning of a story, the correction should be visible and the updated wording should be checked before the page is republished.
