What we check
- Names, job titles, company names and spellings.
- Dates, locations, figures and funding amounts.
- Quotes and attributions.
- Claims about a person or company, especially anything that could affect reputation.
How we check
- Each claim is matched to at least one reliable source, preferring primary sources such as government registers, regulators and the company itself.
- Contested, sensitive or high-impact claims need stronger evidence, and we seek a response from the person or company concerned where fair to do so.
- A claim we cannot support is removed, softened to what the evidence shows, or clearly attributed to its source.
- Every profile shows its sources and a Last reviewed date.
