Fact-Checking Policy

Verification before publication

Reporters are responsible for the accuracy of their work, and editors verify factual claims before publication. Figures, dates, rules, and quotations are checked against primary sources.

What we check

• Statutory and regulatory rules against official government sources.
• Numbers, thresholds, and dates against the underlying data.
• Quotations and characterizations against source material.
• Historical and market claims against the public record.

Handling uncertainty

Where facts are contested or evolving, we say so. We attribute projections and estimates to their source and avoid stating assumptions as settled fact.

After publication

If a verified error slips through, we address it under our Corrections Policy. Readers can flag potential errors through our contact page.
