Corrections & Accuracy

Our corrections policy and public accuracy commitment.

We will get things wrong. What matters is what happens next, so this page says exactly what to expect.

Report an error

Email shamuddin1011@gmail.com with the article URL and what is wrong. A link to the correct source helps and speeds things up, but it is not required — "this number looks wrong" is a perfectly good report.

You do not need an account, and you do not need to be polite about it.

What we do with it

1. We check it. Against the primary source, not against our own article.
2. If you are right, we fix it — the article text, and any figure, chart or summary that repeated the error.
3. We record it on the article. Corrections appear in an Updates & Corrections section on the article itself, saying what was wrong and when it was fixed.
4. We reply to you. Including when we conclude the article was right, with the reasoning.

We aim to acknowledge a report within 2 working days and to resolve a clear factual error within 5.

We do not silently edit

Changing the text and saying nothing is the thing this policy exists to prevent. A substantive factual fix is recorded on the article, permanently, where anyone reading it later can see that it was corrected and what changed.

Two things are not recorded, because logging them would be noise rather than transparency:

• Typographical and grammatical fixes that do not change meaning.
• Formatting, link-target and image changes that do not change meaning.

Anything that changes what the article asserts gets a note.

Updates versus corrections

They are different, and we label them differently:

• A correction means we published something that was wrong.
• An update means the world changed — a price moved, a model was superseded, a deal closed. The article was right when published and now says more.

Both appear in the same Updates & Corrections section, described for what they are.

Numbers going stale

AI figures date quickly. Articles carry a last verified date, and a figure that has since moved is an update we want to hear about. Reporting one is not a complaint, it is useful.

Removal requests

We do not remove accurate published articles on request. If an article contains something about you that is inaccurate, we will correct it. If it contains personal information that should not be public, email us and we will deal with it — see the privacy policy for how personal-data requests are handled.

How we try to be wrong less often

Sourcing rules, dated figures, and a deliberate cap on how much is published per day so that nothing goes out unverified. That is described on our methodology page, and where AI fits in is on our AI disclosure page.
