Editorial standards and corrections

This page covers the docs, the blog and the comparison pages. It replaces the former editorial policy page.

Purpose#

We publish to help an individual investor do something: understand a research concept, build a repeatable routine, or choose a tool for a specific job. We do not publish guaranteed returns, anonymous stock tips, or pages that exist only to rank for a search term.

Sources#

• For company and market facts we prefer SEC filings, investor relations releases, exchange notices and regulator material.
• For product comparisons we prefer the other product's official feature, help and pricing pages.
• Secondary reporting can add context. It should not be the only support for a material claim.

Facts, judgment and uncertainty#

A reported figure is a fact to verify. A thesis, a score, a call or an interpretation is a judgment. Articles should make that boundary clear, name the important uncertainty and say what evidence would change the conclusion. Nobody, and no model, can reliably predict short-term prices.

Comparisons and conflicts of interest#

• stocksbrew is a party to every comparison that includes stocksbrew. We say so on the page.
• We evaluate tools by the job they are used for, describe where the other product is stronger, and link to its official pages.
• We avoid naming a universal best when the answer depends on use.
• We do not use affiliate links in comparisons.
• We say a tool was tested only when we can describe the test. Otherwise the comparison is labelled as desk research from official documentation and public product access.
• Prices and plan limits change. Confirm them on the linked official page.

Use of models in writing#

A model may help organise research, find missing questions or edit prose. It is not treated as a source. A named person reviews published, indexable writing for usefulness and product accuracy, and material figures are checked against linked sources. For model writing inside the product, see What is written by a model.

Updates#

A page gets a new updated date only after a real change to its text, data, sourcing or conclusion. Spelling and formatting fixes do not reset it. A blog post is listed for search engines only after a deliberate review.

Reporting an error#

• Email tomartarun2001@gmail.com with the page address, the claim and the best primary source you have.
• For a wrong number on a stock report, include the ticker, the panel and what the filing says.
• We correct verified errors. When the change is material we update the page's date.
• Data errors that come from a source are fixed at the source of our pipeline where we can, so the same error does not return on the next refresh.

Financial boundary#

stocksbrew provides information, analytics and decision-support tools. It is not a broker or an investment adviser. Nothing here accounts for your objectives, finances, taxes or tolerance for risk, and nothing here is individual investment advice. See the disclaimer.
