Editorial Policy

Standards

Valdrans holds all published content to the following standards:

• Accuracy. Every factual claim must be attributable to a named source. Assertions of fact without a corresponding source citation are not permitted in published content.
• Sourcing. Source material is cited inline where practical and listed in the Sources section of every report. We do not republish unverified claims.
• Proportionality. The strength of a claim in a Valdrans report must be proportionate to the evidence behind it. Speculation is labelled as such; it does not appear as analysis.
• Corrections. Errors are corrected promptly. Corrected content carries a clear note indicating what was changed and when. Material corrections are documented in the article itself, not silently fixed.

Independence

Valdrans operates without advertiser relationships that could affect editorial decisions. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored research, or any form of compensation in exchange for coverage. No company, fund, or individual can pay to have its instruments, securities, or views featured in our analysis.

Our editorial team has no obligation to cover any particular instrument, sector, or story. Coverage decisions are driven entirely by newsworthiness and relevance to our readership, as assessed through our source monitoring and triage pipeline.

Neither Valdrans nor its editorial team members make investment decisions in instruments that appear in upcoming unpublished coverage. We treat this as a fundamental requirement of editorial integrity.

AI disclosure

All Valdrans analysis is AI-assisted. Specifically:

• An AI triage model classifies incoming source items for relevance, sentiment, and affected instruments before any human sees them.
• An AI synthesis pipeline — comprising a thesis generator, a critic model, and a risk officer model — produces the initial draft of every report.
• A final AI synthesis step consolidates the multi-pass draft before it reaches editorial review.
• A human editorial review step is required before any report is published. This step verifies accuracy, assesses the quality of sourcing, and approves or rejects the content for publication.

We do not conceal the role of AI in our process. We believe transparent AI disclosure is essential for financial content, and we comply with the principles set out in Google's quality evaluator guidelines for YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) content.

Corrections

If you believe a published Valdrans report contains a factual error, contact us at [email protected] with the following information:

• The URL of the relevant report
• The specific claim you believe is incorrect
• The source or evidence that contradicts it

We aim to investigate all corrections submissions within 24 hours of receipt. If we confirm an error, we will:

• Correct the specific text and append a correction note to the article, visible to all readers.
• For significant errors — where the core thesis of a report was materially wrong — retract the report and publish an explanation of what was incorrect and why.

We do not delete correction records. Readers who accessed a report before correction deserve to know what changed.
