Corrections policy

Last updated: 17 July 2026

We will get things wrong sometimes. What matters is what we do next. A wrong fast story costs more trust than a slightly slower right one, so speed never overrides accuracy here.

Before publishing

Every article is checked against its sources automatically before it goes live. Our system flags any figure it cannot trace back to a source, any quote it cannot verify word for word, and any wording that sits too close to another outlet's — and anything carrying one of those flags is held back for a person to read first. Stories that pass every check publish without waiting. Our team holds editorial responsibility for all of it.

After publishing

If we find an error — or you tell us about one — we fix it quickly and say so. Every article keeps a full change history internally, recording what changed, when, and why. Significant corrections are noted on the article itself rather than quietly edited away. If a story is wrong at its foundation, we retract it and explain why rather than leave it up.

We measure this

We track the share of published articles that later need a correction, and we watch that number daily. It is the single most important measure of whether this project deserves your attention.
