Publishing standards
Evidence, attribution, and visible uncertainty.
A TradeScout publication must be useful, auditable, and honest about what is not known.
Before publication
A recommendation needs verified timestamps, a stored factor breakdown, a confidence score of at least 60, entry and risk plans, an invalidation rule, a plain-English thesis, and human approval. Category-specific liquidity and freshness rules also apply.
Source discipline
Primary sources are preferred. Major claims use two independent sources where practical. TradeScout links to originals, writes its own summaries, and does not republish articles or copyrighted publisher images.
Language standard
We use forecasts, rankings, and setups. We do not use guaranteed winner, sure thing, can't miss, safe trade, or regulator-approved. Uncertainty and primary risk must be visible near the recommendation.
Updates
Material new information can increase or reduce confidence, place a recommendation under review, invalidate it, or remove it. Every change is timestamped with the inputs and explanation that caused it.
