Editorial standards

Clear sources. Clear assumptions. Clear corrections.

Our standard is simple: readers should be able to see where a number came from and what it does—and does not—mean.

Independence

Editorial conclusions are not sold to advertisers, vendors, or political campaigns. Sponsored work, if ever published, will be visibly labeled.

Evidence

We prefer original government data, public filings, and peer-reviewed research. We link sources for material claims and state when a calculation is an estimate.

Corrections

Report a potential error by contacting the editorial team. Material corrections receive a dated note on the affected page.
