Editorial Policy
Last updated 2 November 2026
1. The source rule
Every factual claim, figure and quotation we publish must map to at least one primary source with a working URL. If a claim cannot be sourced, it does not publish — the pipeline blocks it automatically and an editor cannot override the block. Each article ends with a Sources block listing every source cited.
2. Human editorial control
PulseGrid uses AI to research, draft and synthesise. It does not publish. Every article carries a named human editor of record who reviews the draft, the claims and the sources before release. Bylines read "Edited by [Editor Name] · AI-assisted reporting". We never present an AI system as the verifier of its own output.
3. Market-moving claims
Claims touching earnings, capital, central-bank policy, listings, dividends, insolvency or valuations are routed to a human editor for explicit sign-off. Articles containing such claims are badged "Market-moving · human sign-off".
4. Sponsored and partner content
Paid content is visually separated from newsroom output and labelled "Sponsored / Partner Content" at the top of the unit. Outbound links carry rel="sponsored". Sponsored content never shares a byline with the newsroom and is never presented as an endorsement. We do not sell dofollow backlinks or anchor-text insertion.
5. Independence
Commercial teams do not review articles before publication. Advertisers have no advance sight of coverage. Gifts, travel and hospitality above a nominal value are disclosed in the article.
6. Corrections and retractions
Factual errors are corrected promptly and transparently: the article keeps a visible Corrections block stating what changed, when, and which editor signed it off. See the corrections policy.
7. AI usage
AI is used for source discovery, summarisation, drafting and data extraction. AI never selects the final headline without editor approval, never publishes, and never edits a published article silently. Full detail is in our AI disclosure.
8. Complaints
Write to editorial@pulsegrid.media with the URL and the specific passage. We acknowledge within two working days.
