Editorial policy
How we earn trust.
A plain-language guide to how EconToMarks researches, verifies, publishes and corrects its work.
Sources first
We prefer primary sources such as national statistics agencies, central banks, government departments and international organisations. Secondary reporting can add context, but it is labelled as such.
Original summaries
We write our own summaries and do not copy source articles. Links are provided so readers can check the underlying evidence themselves.
Governed automatic publication
A small allow-list of highly structured official releases can be published automatically. A release must come from an approved primary source and pass source-domain, freshness, classification, score, duplicate, completeness and release-specific parsing checks. Numerical facts used in the brief must be grounded in the official evidence. If any required check fails or the source format is uncertain, the story stays private for review.
AI-assisted workflows
AI may assist discovery, classification or private drafting, but AI is never treated as a source. The zero-click publication path for structured releases uses deterministic source-specific checks rather than asking a general AI model to decide whether a story is true. Broader or uncertain coverage remains subject to editorial review.
Updates, corrections and retractions
Recently automated stories can be rechecked against their official source. If structured official values change, the existing brief can be updated with correction metadata rather than silently replacing history. If a publication should no longer be relied upon, we retract it rather than quietly deleting the record.
