Editorial standards & corrections
Every article on this site is published against a written quality bar and a verification gate. This page is the contract: how we source, when we update, what happens when we get something wrong, and who pays for it all.
Sourcing
We work from primary documents: 10-Ks and 10-Qs, proxy statements, 8-Ks, earnings call transcripts, and exchange data. Facts in an article trace to a source; when a claim references a filing, we link the filing. General market context aside, we do not publish numbers we cannot trace.
Verification — the fact-check gate
Our research pipeline is systematic and heavily automated: data collection, drafting, and verification run through systems our editors design, monitor, and continually audit. Before publication, every article passes a fact-check gate that tests each specific claim against the underlying data. The gate is fail-closed: if verification cannot complete, the article does not publish. Articles that repeatedly fail verification trigger an investigation into the data source itself.
Updates
Markets move and theses age. We re-examine prior coverage against new filings and prepend dated update notices rather than silently editing old calls. Articles display both the original publication date and, when meaningfully revised, a visible “Updated” date.
Corrections
When we publish an error of fact, we correct the article and note the correction. We would rather be clearly wrong and fix it than quietly vague.
Spotted an error? Email support@basisreport.com with the article link and the claim in question. Correction requests are reviewed against the primary sources, and substantiated corrections ship with a visible notice on the article.
Independence & funding
Basis Report has no investment banking relationships, no corporate advisory fees, and holds no positions in the securities we cover. Revenue comes from reader subscriptions only. We do not publish price targets, and nothing we publish is individualized investment advice.
The quality bar
Published work is scored against five dimensions: an original angle beyond the wire story, evidence density (numbers anchored to comparisons), a falsifiable thesis, structure that front-loads the story, and a measured news voice. Articles that fall below the bar are flagged and rewritten. Read more about the approach on our About page, or see the research itself under Analysis.
