Editorial policy
Our standards for editorial independence, conflicts of interest, evidence and corrections.
On this page
Readers should be able to trust that our coverage follows the evidence. This policy explains how we protect editorial judgement and handle interests that could affect it.
Editorial independence
We choose stories for their relevance to readers. We do not accept payment for favourable coverage or allow commercial relationships to determine our conclusions.
Conflicts of interest
Anyone writing or editing a story must disclose relevant asset holdings, paid work or other financial relationships to the editor. Where an interest could affect the coverage, we disclose it alongside the article.
Sponsorship
Bored Node does not currently carry sponsored content. If that changes, paid material will be clearly labelled and kept distinct from editorial reporting. Any affiliate relationship will be disclosed beside the relevant link. Payment must never buy a favourable editorial judgement.
Evidence and accuracy
We check material claims and link to original sources wherever possible. Company statements and allegations are attributed; uncertainty is made clear. Opinion is labelled, and market analysis explains its data, timeframe and reasoning. Illustrations must not be presented as photographs of events.
How we produce stories
Our research team supports the reporting and drafting of our stories. Some material may be written with the help of AI tools, and everything we publish is verified by our editorial team.
Corrections and reader concerns
We correct factual errors, and the Last updated date on the article moves when we do. If you spot a mistake or an undisclosed conflict, please contact us with the article link and supporting details.
