Editorial Policy

Our standards for accuracy, sourcing, independence and clarity.

Last updated 13 September 2026

Accuracy

Every factual claim in a published piece must be traceable to a source listed at the end of the article. We do not publish statistics without a named source, and we do not invent quotes, experts or studies. Where a figure is an editorial estimate, it is labelled as such.

Sourcing

We prioritise primary sources: filings, papers, official data, documentation and direct statements. Secondary reporting is cited when it adds verified information. Anonymous sourcing is used only when the information cannot be obtained otherwise and is approved by a senior editor.

Analysis and opinion

Analysis is labelled Analysis. Opinion is labelled Opinion. Predictions are framed as predictions with the reasoning behind them. We separate what happened from what we think it means.

Independence

Coverage decisions are made by the editorial desk. Sponsored research, when it exists, is labelled and does not influence news or analysis coverage. Editors do not hold undisclosed positions in companies they cover.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and visibly. See our Corrections policy.

Use of AI

AI assists research, drafting and production. Humans verify and publish. See How We Use AI.
