Editorial principles

These principles explain how I write and update what you read here.

Personal views

Everything on this site is my personal perspective, based on my own experience and the sources I mention. It is not professional, legal, tax or investment advice. Market and economy commentary is general context, not a recommendation to buy, sell or invest in anything.

Sources and dates

When I rely on facts, figures or someone else’s work, I link to or name the source. Every article shows when it was published and, if it changed in a meaningful way, when it was updated.

Corrections

If I get something wrong, I correct it and note the correction at the end of the article. You can point out an error through the Collaborate page.

The Harsmit Ventures

I’m building The Harsmit Ventures (THV). When I write about areas where THV offers services, I say so. This site shares my personal perspectives; THV’s services are described on its own website.

Commercial collaborations

If a piece is sponsored, paid for, or written in collaboration with an organisation, I’ll disclose that clearly at the top of the piece. Membership of an organisation doesn’t mean it endorses this site, or that I speak for it.
