This page defines citation discipline for finance-oriented content.
The goal is to keep evidence traceable and interpretation clearly bounded.
Source hierarchy
- Primary sources for key figures and factual claims.
- Secondary analysis for context and framing.
- Commentary treated as interpretation input, not evidence.
Citation standard
- Include direct links for all high-impact claims.
- Label whether each item is observed data or interpretation.
- Preserve source references in archived briefs.
Common mistakes & fixes
- Mistake: using commentary as sole evidence.
- Fix: add primary references when available.
- Mistake: no distinction between source and interpretation.
- Fix: keep separate labeled sections.
- Mistake: no correction trail.
- Fix: maintain correction notes tied to source updates.
