Corrections policy

Accuracy matters more than preserving the appearance that a first version was perfect.

LAST UPDATED / 25 AUGUST 2026

PROCESS

Correct clearly, without silently rewriting the record.

Substantiated factual errors are corrected promptly. Material corrections receive an editor’s note describing what changed and when. Minor spelling, formatting and broken-link repairs may be made without a formal note when they do not alter meaning.

New information does not always mean the old report was wrong.

When later earnings, regulation or product developments change the thesis, the report may receive a dated update or a new note. The original data cut remains visible.
