Editorial and Corrections Policy

Public content is reviewed by a responsible human owner, discloses material sources and AI assistance, and receives visible corrections when an error changes meaning.

Cited Alpha Research Team

Authorship and AI assistance

Every public article and report has a responsible author or team page. AI may help retrieve, compare, outline, translate, or draft material, but a named human reviewer remains accountable for scope, source selection, calculations, wording, and publication.

We do not use an AI system as a fictional expert identity. A team byline means the listed editorial team accepted responsibility for the published version and its correction history.

Sources, conflicts, and commercial influence

Material factual claims should link to accessible evidence, with primary sources preferred. Sponsored placement, affiliate incentives, token holdings, employment relationships, or other material conflicts must be disclosed when they could reasonably affect interpretation.

Subscription plans do not buy favorable coverage. Product pages can explain Cited Alpha capabilities, but research conclusions are not changed to support conversion goals. Unsupported testimonials and review statistics are prohibited.

Updates and corrections

Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a correction note. A factual, numerical, sourcing, or interpretive error that changes meaning requires a visible note describing what changed and when. Major revisions preserve the original publication date and add a new review date.

Readers can report an issue through the contact page. The editorial owner verifies the claim against source material, records the decision, and updates affected translations or linked reports when the same error appears in more than one language.
