Editorial and Research Policy
This policy explains how MisterStory selects subjects, evaluates sources, uses research tools and handles corrections.
Last updated: 24 September 2026
Our editorial purpose
MisterStory publishes clear explanations of companies, business models, strategies and business leaders. We aim to separate verifiable facts from interpretation and to give readers enough context to understand why a fact matters.
How topics are selected
We choose subjects based on reader usefulness, business significance, availability of reliable information and the opportunity to explain something clearly. A company's size, popularity or willingness to speak with us does not guarantee coverage.
Our source hierarchy
Whenever practical, we prioritise:
- Regulatory filings, stock-exchange disclosures and government records.
- Annual reports, audited financial statements and official investor material.
- Direct company announcements, executive interviews and official websites.
- Established publications and specialist reporting for context or independent confirmation.
Source links and research notes may be retained internally even when they are not displayed on the public article. Anonymous claims, promotional statements and secondary summaries are not treated as equivalent to primary evidence.
Verification and writing
- Names, roles, dates and material numbers are checked against the strongest available source.
- Financial figures are labelled with their period and units where relevant.
- Estimates, opinions and reported claims are identified as such.
- Headlines should accurately represent the article and should not promise more than the article establishes.
- Articles are written in original language and reviewed for clarity before publication.
Use of AI and other tools
MisterStory may use software and AI-assisted tools to organise research, identify gaps, improve structure or help prepare early drafts. These tools are not treated as sources. A human editor is responsible for checking material claims, choosing the final wording and approving publication.
We do not knowingly publish invented quotations, credentials, people or company facts. When reliable evidence is unavailable, the information should be omitted or its uncertainty made clear.
Updates
Company information changes. We may update an article to reflect a new role, filing, ownership change, financial period or other material development. The page may display its most recent update date. An update does not necessarily mean the earlier version contained an error.
Corrections policy
Readers can report a possible error through our Contact page. Please include the page URL, the disputed statement and supporting evidence.
- Minor spelling, grammar or formatting mistakes may be corrected without a separate notice.
- Material factual errors are corrected as soon as reasonably possible after verification.
- Where useful to readers, a substantial correction or clarification will be noted on the page.
- Requests to remove accurate, lawfully published information are considered individually and are not automatically accepted.
Conflicts, sponsorship and independence
Commercial relationships must not determine editorial conclusions. Sponsored or paid material, if introduced, will be clearly labelled. Contributors should disclose a material financial or professional relationship that could reasonably affect their coverage.
Not investment advice
MisterStory provides general information and analysis. It does not recommend buying, selling or holding any security and does not provide investment, legal, tax or accounting advice.
