LAUNCH MODEL
Display advertising is prepared, but not active.
The site is technically prepared for Google AdSense activation after the publisher account, two manual ad units, consent configuration and external review are complete. Until valid account and placement IDs are configured, no ad unit or third-party advertising script is rendered.
PLACEMENT POLICY
Two restrained placements, away from the opening argument.
One responsive unit may appear after the home-page research index, and one may appear between evidence sections in a long-form report. The publication does not use an above-the-fold hero ad, interstitial, sticky overlay or autoplay placement. Automatic ad placement remains off so the desk controls density and context.
SEPARATION
Ads do not enter the research process
Advertisers cannot select conclusions, suppress a correction or receive advance approval rights over independent coverage.
LABELING
Commercial content is identifiable
Display placements and any future sponsored or affiliate material will be labeled so a reader can distinguish it from research.
RESTRICTED CATEGORIES
No deceptive investment promotions.
The desk may reject advertising that impersonates a regulated business, promises guaranteed investment returns, obscures material terms, conflicts with reader safety or would reasonably undermine editorial trust.
