Editorial Policy

Swoopr Investment, publishing under the Swoopr Editorial Team byline. That responsibility is unchanged by how a draft was produced, including where AI tools assisted with research organization, outlining or initial drafting. Naming a single accountable publisher rather than distributing authorship across personas is what makes the byline mean something, and it is the same entity a correction report reaches under the Corrections Policy.

Because an example exists to demonstrate a mechanism, and using a real security attaches the demonstration to facts that change and implications the page is not asserting. A neutral invented company lets the arithmetic be followed exactly while making clear that nothing is being claimed about any actual business. Every such example is labeled as hypothetical, which is a convention applied consistently rather than a disclaimer attached where it seems necessary.

The relationship is disclosed on the page, and the Conflicts of Interest and Sponsored Content Disclosure is the canonical record of current and potential arrangements. The line this policy draws is between an arrangement being disclosed and an arrangement shaping the content: requests to change an article's conclusions, or to add promotional material for a specific broker, exchange or product, are declined regardless of any commercial relationship.

Education explains how something works and applies to anyone reading it. Advice evaluates a specific person's circumstances and recommends an action for them. The distinction is not a matter of tone: a page can be detailed, specific and practical while remaining educational, and a single sentence recommending an action for a reader crosses the line. This site publishes the first and does not publish the second.

Against source material rather than for plausibility, which is the specific failure mode that matters. An AI system is not treated as an authoritative source under the Citation and Sources Policy, so a factual claim requiring evidence is verified against the primary document before it ships. Fluent, confident and wrong is the characteristic failure of a generated draft, and it is invisible to any check that only reads the draft itself.

Content covering laws, taxes, regulatory rules and protocol specifications carries an explicit review frequency and a recorded next-review date, with rules-based material on a faster cycle. Review can also be triggered by an event rather than the calendar: a regulation changing, a protocol upgrading, or a correction elsewhere that touches the same fact. The recorded date is a floor rather than the only route back to a page.

By treating a contradiction as a defect rather than a difference of emphasis. Two pages disagreeing on the same fact leaves a reader with no way to resolve it and makes the site less usable by systems that extract answers from it. The site also assigns topic ownership by URL prefix, so a subject has one canonical home rather than parallel treatments that can drift apart, and a new page on a covered topic strengthens the existing owner instead.

Yes, with additional requirements, because a tool produces numbers a reader may act on. A tool's formula is stated in plain text on its own page and implemented once in a separately tested module, and its assumptions and limitations are disclosed on the same page. Simulated or backtested output is labeled as such. A tool that returns a figure without disclosing what the figure assumes has not met the standard.

It is revised where the subject still exists in changed form, and retired where it does not. Retiring a public route is not an isolated deletion: it triggers a repo-wide search for references to the old path and updates to internal links, the sitemap, breadcrumbs and structured data, so readers and crawlers reaching the old address are handled rather than left at an error. Leaving an inaccurate page live is not an option the policy contemplates.
