Corrections policy
A finding is only as good as its accuracy. If a published finding contains an error of fact — a misquoted claim, a miscited source, a wrong date or figure — we correct it promptly and visibly.
Corrections are appended to the finding itself, dated, and describe what changed. We do not silently edit the record. Where a correction is material to the outcome, the outcome is revisited under the same standard.
How to request a correction
A subject, a cited party, or any reader may request a correction. Identify the finding by its case ID, state the specific error, and point to the source that establishes it. Requests that meet the Evidence Standard are acted on first.
Appeals process
A subject who believes a finding reached the wrong outcome may appeal. An appeal is not a correction of fact; it is a challenge to the application of the standard.
Appeals proceed in three steps. First, the subject submits the appeal with the qualifying sources they believe were not adequately weighed. Second, the case is re-examined by a reviewer who did not close the original matter. Third, the outcome is either affirmed, revised, or reopened for a further cycle, and the result is published alongside the original finding.
An appeal does not remove a finding from the record while it is pending. The record shows both the original outcome and the result of the appeal.
Timeline
We aim to acknowledge correction requests and appeals within five business days and to resolve them within twenty.
