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

  1. Record the issue and identify the affected claim.
  2. Check the original source and any conflicting information.
  3. Have a human editor approve the correction.
  4. Update the page and any relevant dates.
  5. 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 Information that may be out of date is marked until a person has checked it.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.
