Our Commitment to Verified Information
Fact-checking is central to Economic Pulse’s mission of delivering trustworthy economic intelligence. This policy outlines our procedures for verifying the accuracy of all content before publication and addressing errors after publication.
Pre-Publication Verification
All Content Types
Every article published by Economic Pulse undergoes verification, regardless of how it was produced. Our editorial team verifies:

- Dates and periods: Time references, base periods for percentage changes, and forecast horizons are checked for correctness
- Source attribution: Every source cited in an article is verified as legitimate and accurately represented
- Headlines: Must accurately reflect the article’s content

Articles drafted with the assistance of automated tools undergo mandatory human review before publication:
- A human editor reviews all data points and source citations
- Any generated quotations are verified against real sources or removed
- The article is reviewed for factual consistency and logical coherence
- Only after editorial sign-off is the article scheduled for publication
