Editorial standards

Research and sourcing

Articles are developed from publicly available data, government publications, company materials, institutional research and reputable reporting. Material claims are checked against the strongest primary source reasonably available.

Analysis and opinion

IR97 distinguishes reported facts from interpretation. Forecasts and judgments are presented as analysis, not certainty.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may assist with organizing research, comparing information and preparing early drafts. They do not make the final editorial decision. Every published article is reviewed and approved by a human author, who remains responsible for its accuracy and conclusions.

Corrections

Substantive factual errors are corrected promptly. When a change materially affects an article’s conclusion, IR97 will add a dated correction or update note.

Conflicts and independence

Relevant financial or professional interests should be disclosed when they could reasonably affect a reader’s interpretation. Coverage is not offered in exchange for payment or favorable treatment.
