Editorial method: facts, signals and financial questions

Sections distinguish actual, forecast, assumption, hypothesis and analysis. Forecasts are not observed facts. Analysis does not guarantee business outcomes. Actual and forecast sections must cite registered sources.

Issue date, source cutoff, source release or revision and publication time are separate. Corrections create immutable new editions. Withdrawals retain reasons and enter the change stream.

Explain the baseline, industrial mechanism, operating exposure, potential financial variable, conditions and next observation. Without evidence for the baseline or mechanism, keep a lead explicitly provisional.

Public packages do not receive enterprise ledgers, contracts or budgets. Readable material is not automatically licensed for commercial redistribution. Pending source rights block publication.
