Corrections Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-14

We hold our reporting to a high factual standard, and when we fall short of it, we fix it in the open. A publication that quietly edits its mistakes is asking readers to trust it less, not more. This page explains what we correct, how we mark it, and how you can flag an error.

1. What we correct

We correct material factual errors, a wrong figure, an incorrect date, a misstated rule, a misattributed quote or credit, or a claim that turns out not to be supported by its source. If an error could change a reader's understanding or a decision they might make, it gets corrected.

2. How corrections are shown

Corrections are posted with the original article and dated. We do not delete the article or silently rewrite it to erase the mistake. A dated correction note records what was wrong and what it now says, so the record is transparent. The article's update date reflects the change.

3. Corrections versus updates

Not every change is a correction. Many of our articles are evergreen references that we update as the underlying facts change, when a royalty rate is revised, a platform changes a rule, or a deal norm shifts. A routine update of this kind is dated as an update. A correction specifically addresses something that was wrong at the time it was published. We distinguish the two so readers can tell the difference between "this was an error" and "the world changed."

4. Significant corrections

For a correction that materially changes the conclusion of a piece, we make the correction prominent on the article rather than burying it. Where a piece is fundamentally unsupportable, we will retract it and explain why, rather than leave a misleading article in place.

5. How to report an error

If you spot something you believe is wrong, tell us. The most useful reports name the article, point to the specific claim, and, where possible, link to a better source. We review every good-faith report and respond within a reasonable time.

6. Our standing commitment

We correct material errors rather than hide them.
Corrections are posted with the original article, dated.
We distinguish corrections from routine updates.
We do not fabricate facts, and when one slips through, we own it.
