Publisher and research standards

Editorial Policy

How Stock Dossier Lab sources, labels, updates, corrects, and audits equity research content.

Reviewed 2026-09-02

Evidence standards

Primary filings and official company materials take priority. Every time-sensitive claim should identify an as-of date. Calculations must name the source fields, period, and benchmark.

Model reporting

Model versions, assumptions, failed experiments, and benchmark-relative outcomes are retained. We do not remove unfavorable horizons to improve a headline.

AI-assisted production

Software and AI may assist with structure, code, editing, and pattern review. They do not replace source verification. Pages are reviewed against the stated methodology before publication.

Corrections

Material factual errors should be corrected with an updated review date and, when useful, a short explanation of what changed.

Sourcing and calculation standard

Primary sources take priority: SEC filings, issuer documents, regulator publications, exchange data, and clearly identified public datasets. Secondary sources may supply context but should not replace the closest available evidence. Calculations must state the period, unit, scope, benchmark, and any adjustment needed for comparability.

Updates, corrections, and conflicts

Material revisions receive a new reviewed date. A correction should fix the affected statement and recheck dependent conclusions rather than silently changing only one number. Commercial relationships do not control research conclusions. Sponsored placement, if introduced, must be visibly labeled and kept separate from editorial comparison tables.

Model and automation policy

Automation may organize source material, calculate reproducible statistics, and help maintain page structure. It is not evidence by itself. Published model results must retain their version and assumptions, while factual company claims require a traceable public source. Unsupported current figures and fabricated individual authorship are prohibited.
