Editorial Principles
How we handle automated content, sourcing, advertising independence and quality control.
Facts first
Values, years and trends are based on retrieved structured data. We do not alter data to manufacture an opinion.
Transparent automation
Software generates charts, formats numbers and creates some factual summaries. Automated content must be grounded in visible page data and disclose sources and limitations.
Advertising independence
Advertising relationships do not determine which countries or indicators are included or how calculations work. Advertisers and ad platforms are responsible for ad content.
Corrections
When an error is identified, we verify the original source, correct the page or explain a source revision, and document material methodology changes.
