Corrections Policy

1. Our commitment

KiqIQ is committed to accuracy. When factual errors are discovered — whether by readers, by our own review, or by external sources — we correct them transparently and document what was changed.

2. What counts as an error

• Factual error: a stated fact (statistic, date, name, result, quote) that is wrong
• Misattribution: a quote, claim, or analysis attributed to the wrong source
• Outdated information: content that was correct at publication but is now misleading without a date stamp
• Mathematical error: a computation in a worked example that produces a wrong number
• Broken link: a link to an external source that no longer resolves correctly

Disagreements about analysis or interpretation are not corrections — they are editorial differences that we are happy to engage with via editor@kiqiq.com.

3. How to report an error

Email editor@kiqiq.com with:

• The page URL where you found the error
• The specific text or claim that's wrong
• What you believe the correct information is
• A source or reference, if available
• Your name (optional — we credit reporters who request it)

4. Severity tiers and response times

5. How corrections are documented

When we correct a Critical or Major error, we add a correction note to the affected page that states:

• The date of the correction
• What was wrong
• What it has been changed to
• Whether the correction was reader-reported (with credit if requested)

Critical and Major corrections are also logged in our public changelog.

For Minor and Cosmetic corrections, we update the page silently — the page's git history still preserves the change.

6. Updating vs correcting

We distinguish between:

• Correction — fixing something that was wrong at publication
• Update — refreshing time-sensitive information that was correct at publication but is no longer current

Updates do not require a correction note, but the page's "last updated" date is always refreshed.

7. Removal

KiqIQ does not remove published content as a substitute for correcting it. If a piece is fundamentally incorrect to the point of being unreliable, we will publish a clear retraction in its place rather than silently deleting the URL.

In limited legal circumstances (court order, demonstrable defamation, takedown by a copyright holder), KiqIQ may remove a page. Any such removal is logged internally with a reason.

8. Right to reply

Where KiqIQ content references a specific organisation, person, or product, the affected party can request a right-of-reply statement to be appended to the relevant page. We consider these requests on their merits and may include the reply where it adds material context for readers.
