Where our facts come from
We report what central banks, statistics offices, governments, regulators, stock exchanges and companies publish, along with facts reported in public news coverage. Where a fact comes from an official body, we name that body in the story and, where we can, link to it under "Sources". We do not publish rumours, and we do not present opinion as news.
How newsroom briefs are produced
Stories bylined "QuidMetrics Newsroom" are produced with automated tools from official and public sources. They are written in our own words and are built to use only facts found in that source material, never invented figures, quotes or dates. If you spot an error, we correct it openly. Stories written by named reporters carry their names.
What each label means
News brief is our everyday story of at least 300 words: what happened, the key figures, why it matters and what comes next. News is a longer story with more context or background. If a source does not give us enough to write a full story honestly, we do not publish one. Official release is a headline that links to the announcement itself. Every story shows when it was published, and when it was updated if it changed later.
Market data
Every figure on our markets pages shows what it is (a daily reference rate, a daily close, a monthly official figure or a number entered by our editors) and the date it refers to. Nothing on QuidMetrics is a real-time dealing price. Our data sources page lists where each number comes from.
No investment advice
QuidMetrics explains what is happening and why it matters. We do not tell readers to buy or sell anything, and nothing we publish is financial advice.
Independence
No one pays to appear in our news coverage. If we ever publish sponsored or partner content, it will be clearly labelled and kept separate from our journalism.
