Verification and Fact-Checking
Every TickStock article passes through quality control architecture before publication, underpinned by our structured knowledge graph, before it's handled by our team of experienced human editors. This page describes our approach to fact-checking in plain terms.

Why Verification Sits at the Centre
Financial coverage carries a higher cost of error than most beats. TickStock's verification process is the cornerstone of our content operations, not an afterthought.
Multi-Layered Verification
TickStock verifies claims at multiple points, not just one:
- Source selection. Articles are drafted from primary source documents, rather than from second-hand summaries.
- Cross-reference checking. Significant claims are verified against multiple authoritative sources where they exist.
- Technical accuracy review. Tickers, financial figures, regulatory references, and time-sensitive data points undergo specific technical fact-checking.
- Update monitoring. Breaking stories are monitored for corrections or updates from original sources, and our coverage is updated to match.
- Reader feedback integration. Reader-submitted corrections trigger immediate review — see the corrections policy.
Reader-Submitted Corrections
The verification process is layered, but it's not perfect. Errors that reach publication are corrected promptly when identified — whether internally, by a coverage subject, or by a reader. Reports go to corrections@tickstock.io; the full process is on the corrections page.
