Editorial principles
- Traceability: important factual claims should identify a source or enough context for a reader to verify them.
- Separation: reported observations, model outputs, interpretation, scenarios, and promotional copy should not be presented as the same thing.
- Uncertainty: forward-looking analysis must use proportionate language and make important limitations visible.
- Accountability: the publisher remains responsible for work produced with software or AI assistance.
- Correction: material factual or computational errors should be corrected promptly and transparently.
Sourcing standards
We prefer primary sources for economic releases, policy actions, filings, and official statistics. Secondary reporting may provide context but should not replace an available primary record for a material claim. The data-sources page identifies recurring dashboard inputs.
Articles should distinguish the observation period from the publication date, especially for monthly and quarterly releases. If a source is preliminary, revised, estimated, delayed, or accessed through a fallback, that condition should be stated when it could change the interpretation.
AI and automation
VisionBoard uses software to retrieve data, calculate model outputs, detect changes, organize research, and assist with draft language. Generative systems may help summarize an evidence set or prepare an initial draft.
Automation does not remove editorial responsibility. AI-generated blog posts and blog posts submitted through the automated ingest path default to draft and require human editorial review. Publication is an explicit action reserved for a trusted administrator, and published work remains subject to monitoring and the corrections process.
Pre-publication review covers source support, internal consistency, unsupported certainty, misleading investment language, and obvious numerical or temporal errors. We do not publish an invented expert biography to disguise machine assistance.

Analysis and financial risk
Articles can discuss scenarios, risk factors, asset classes, sectors, and model implications. They must not imply guaranteed outcomes or pretend to account for an individual reader’s circumstances. Hypothetical or backtested results must be identified as such and must not be described as live performance.
VisionBoard content is general research and education. Readers remain responsible for independent verification and decisions. See the full financial disclaimer and terms.
Subscriptions and editorial independence
Some research is available only to members, and public articles may contain subscription calls to action. Access level determines how much content a reader can view; it should not change the stated evidence or conclusion. A paid relationship does not allow a reader, data provider, or commercial partner to purchase a favorable editorial conclusion.
Sponsored or affiliate material, if introduced, must be clearly labeled near the relevant content. It must not be presented as independent analysis.
Updates and corrections
Routine formatting, spelling, link, or metadata changes may be made without a correction note. A material correction—one that changes a key fact, computation, attribution, or conclusion—should include an explanatory note and a meaningful modification date.
Page views do not count as editorial updates and must not change an article’s displayed modification date. Correction requests follow the public corrections process.
