Editorial standards and AI use

How these articles are made

Every article starts from a question people actually search for. We find the primary source that answers it — a government agency, a regulator, an industry body — and we build the article around what that source says, with the year stated.

We use AI tools to help draft and illustrate. Every article is reviewed by a named editor before it is published, and that editor holds editorial responsibility for it.

Images

All illustrations on this site are generated with AI. We do not use photographs of real people, places or documents, and we never present a generated image as a photograph.

Where a caption credits a source, that credit refers to the figures in the article, not to the image. Charts are drawn from the published numbers of the source named beneath them.

Figures

We do not estimate, round up, or invent numbers. If we cannot find a figure in a primary source, we say so rather than publish a guess. Every article lists its sources at the end, with links.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say what changed. Corrections are noted on the article itself, not quietly edited away. Write to Peter using the contact details on our About page.

Advertising

This site carries advertising, labelled Advertisements wherever it appears. Advertisers have no say in what we publish and do not see articles before publication.
