Standards & Policies

Ethics & Independence

Our reporting is driven solely by editorial judgment. We do not accept payment in exchange for news coverage, and editorial staff operates independently from advertising or sponsorship functions.

Potential conflicts of interest among writers or guest contributors must be disclosed prominently in the relevant article.

Corrections Policy

We strive for accuracy in reporting, data analysis, and market coverage. When we make a substantive error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrected articles include a notice detailing what changed and when.

Contributor Guidelines

Guest commentary must be original, analytical, supported by data or clear structural analysis, and disclose relevant positions or relationships. We do not publish promotional pieces or thinly veiled marketing.

Advertising & Sponsorship

Advertising is visually distinct from editorial content and clearly labeled. Sponsors have no advance review of editorial content and no influence over coverage decisions.

Fact Checking Policy

Factual assertions are verified before publication, primarily against filings, court dockets, credit agreements, official statements, and corroborated on-the-record reporting. We do not publish rumors or unsourced speculation.

AI Usage & Disclosure Policy

AI tools may assist with background research, data extraction, and early-stage drafting. Every published piece is reviewed, verified, and approved by a human editor. We never use AI to fabricate facts, manufacture quotes, or invent data.
