Editorial Policy

What triggers coverage

Coverage is triggered by observable market events in S&P 500 stocks: a significant intraday price move against the previous close, a trading halt, or an earnings-related gap. Selection is mechanical — no editor chooses topics, and no company, advertiser, or other third party can pay for or influence coverage.

Sourcing and corroboration

Before anything is written, the event must be corroborated by at least one source published near the time of the move: independent news reporting from established outlets or an official SEC EDGAR filing. If no corroborating source is found, the event is not covered — without exception. Every causal claim in a published explainer carries a citation, shown on the page as a link to the original reporting or filing.

How content is generated and checked

Scripts and article copy are AI-generated from verified market data and the corroborating sources; the system is not permitted to introduce information from anywhere else. Before publication, every piece must pass a fixed set of checks:

• A second, independent AI review cross-checks every ticker, number, and claim against the source material.
• Deterministic validators verify tickers, figures, and the presence of a source for every causal claim.
• A prohibited-vocabulary filter blocks advice-like language (for example "buy", "sell", or "price target").

Content that fails any check is blocked. It is corrected and re-checked, or it is never published.

AI disclosure

All content is AI-generated and labeled as such: every video carries a persistent on-screen disclosure and a spoken disclosure in its opening seconds, and every page names our disclosed AI editor, Alex Whitfield. A human operator supervises the system and is accountable for it.

Accountability

We keep a permanent internal record of every published piece — the triggering market data, the sources used, and the result of every editorial check. Errors are handled under our Correction Policy.

Not investment advice

Nothing we publish is investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to trade any security. Explainers describe what happened; they do not tell anyone what to do.
