Our standards · Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it clearly.
Important corrections should tell readers what changed, when it changed, and why. Small spelling or formatting fixes do not need a public notice.
What deserves a correction note
We publish a note when a change affects a factual claim, the meaning of a conclusion, an important limitation, a commercial disclosure, or advice a reader could reasonably act on.
How corrections are handled
- Record the issue and identify the affected claim.
- Check the original source and any conflicting information.
- Have a human editor approve the correction.
- Update the page and any relevant dates.
- Add a short note explaining what changed and why.
When products or services change
A product update or broken link can trigger a review, but it does not automatically rewrite an editorial conclusion. Information that may be out of date is marked until a person has checked it.
Reporting an issue
A public corrections contact is coming soon. It will be added to this page once it is ready.
