Editorial Standards

Sourcing

Every story cites its sources and links to them. We prefer primary sources: government notices, company announcements, regulatory filings and official data. We do not republish other outlets' articles; we summarize in our own words and send readers to the original reporting.

Verification

Figures, dates and names are checked against at least one primary or reputable source before publication. Where facts are unconfirmed, we say so.

AI disclosure

Our newsroom uses AI to monitor sources, research and draft stories. Every story is produced against these standards and reviewed for accuracy against its sources. Analysis and "what procurement teams should do" guidance is general and not legal, financial or trade-compliance advice.

Independence

Coverage decisions are made on news value alone. Should we ever carry sponsorships, sponsored content will be clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial coverage. Vendors cannot pay for coverage.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the update date on the story.
