Corrections Policy

How factual errors, unclear disclosures, source updates, and review-date changes should be handled.

How corrections are handled

Material corrections update visible copy, source notes, and review dates together. Minor edits do not imply a new review, and freshness labels must not suggest otherwise.

Correction sequence

Correction process

A correction should be handled through the same launch posture as other source-sensitive claims.

  1. Identify the affected page, claim, and visible block.
  2. Decide whether the issue is factual, disclosure-related, privacy-related, or copy clarity.
  3. Update the visible copy, source notes, and review record together.
  4. Record the reviewed date only after a real review occurred.
  5. Keep the page draft/noindex if the corrected claim still needs source support.

Examples that need careful correction

Corrections should preserve the difference between an educational category and a reviewed claim. Earnings quality, repeat demand, customer concentration, rollover equity, earnouts, seller notes, and working-capital targets can all be useful planning language, but a correction should clarify when those items are examples rather than advice about a specific buyer, offer, valuation range, or transaction outcome. A correction might clarify that a rollover equity example is educational deal-structure context, not reviewed advice that a seller should accept rollover in a specific offer.

Questions about this policy

Correction questions

  1. 01Does every edit change the review date?

    No. A typo in a deal-structure guide can be fixed without implying a fresh expert pass. A material change to earnings quality, buyer-fit, or rollover-equity language should update the review posture.

  2. 02Can a source-limited page be corrected?

    Yes. A page can clarify wording, limits, and disclosure while remaining draft/noindex until the source support for a benchmark, market claim, or transaction example is resolved.

  3. 03Do corrections create valuation advice?

    No. A correction can make deal-term education clearer, but it does not turn a guide into a formal valuation, legal opinion, tax recommendation, or transaction process.
