Corrections

Last updated 26 July 2026

Everything we have had to fix, when we fixed it, and what it was. The denominator is here too, because a correction count without one is just a number.

The policy

Within 72 hours of being satisfied that something is wrong. At the top of the piece, not the bottom. With the history left public — the original wording stays visible alongside the fix, because a correction that hides what it corrected is not a correction.

This applies to figures, dates, attributions, and anything else that can be checked. It does not apply to opinions, which we would rather defend than quietly delete.

The log

Nothing yet. This publication is six fragments old, which is not long enough for the absence of corrections to mean anything. The page exists now so that it cannot be created later, quietly, at a more convenient moment.

Before publication

Corrections are what survive the process. Rather more is caught inside it: every draft is read back against its source sheet by a separate process instructed only to disagree, and the first fragment published here came back with fourteen findings, all of which were applied before anyone could read it. Those are not corrections — nothing was published — but they are the reason this page is short.

One thing did get through and has since been removed: a sentence in The Great Unbunkering attributed a claim to unnamed "securities firms and investors" with no source. It was not a factual error so much as a sentence that should never have cleared our own rule against publishing what we cannot trace. It is gone.

If you have found something wrong, we would like to know before your readers do: [email protected]. Telling us we are wrong is a contribution, not a complaint.
