Our Commitment to Accuracy

Finance Copilot HQ publishes research that finance professionals rely on to make high-stakes decisions. Accuracy is not an aspiration — it is a foundational requirement. When errors occur, they are corrected promptly and disclosed transparently. We do not quietly edit articles without acknowledgement, minimise the significance of confirmed mistakes, or delay corrections to protect publishing convenience.

This policy applies to all content published on Finance Copilot HQ: software reviews and comparisons, workflow guides, market intelligence, and editorial commentary.

Types of Corrections

We distinguish between three categories of correction, each handled differently:

Factual Errors

A factual error is any claim in a published article that is demonstrably incorrect — including inaccurate pricing, incorrect feature descriptions, misattributed statistics, or false statements about a vendor’s product or business. When a factual error is confirmed, the article is corrected and a correction notice is appended at the bottom of the article noting the original error, the correction, and the date it was applied. Factual errors are corrected within 5 business days of confirmation.

Outdated Information

The finance software market moves quickly. Pricing changes, features are deprecated or added, vendors are acquired, and tools improve or decline materially over time. Outdated information — where a previously accurate statement has been superseded by subsequent changes — is updated during our scheduled review cycle or immediately when a significant change is reported and confirmed. The article’s last-reviewed date is updated to reflect the revision.

Editorial Omissions

If a tool that merits inclusion in a comparison guide has been omitted — whether through oversight, availability constraints at the time of research, or a product that has matured since initial publication — we evaluate the tool against our standard eight-criterion framework and, if it meets the inclusion threshold, add it during our next scheduled review. Readers can report omissions via the corrections process below.

How to Submit a Correction

Corrections can be submitted via the contact form on this site. To help us process corrections efficiently, please include:

• The URL of the article containing the error
• The specific claim you believe is incorrect or outdated
• The correct information, with a source or reference where available
• Your name and email address (used only to follow up on your submission — not published)

We acknowledge all correction submissions within 2 business days and provide a final determination — confirming the error and the correction applied, or explaining why we have not made a change — within 5 business days. Where our editorial team disagrees with a submitted correction, we will explain our reasoning clearly.

Vendor-Submitted Corrections

Software vendors covered in our guides may submit corrections through the same process as any reader. Vendor corrections are reviewed against the same standard: is the submitted information demonstrably more accurate than what we have published?

Vendor correction requests are assessed on evidential merit, not commercial relationship. A vendor’s request to revise a negative assessment of their product — absent new independently verifiable evidence — will not result in a change. We do not revise editorial conclusions because a vendor is dissatisfied with them. We revise editorial conclusions when the evidence supporting them is shown to be wrong.

Correction Notices

For confirmed factual errors, a correction notice is appended to the bottom of the affected article. The notice states: the specific claim that was incorrect, the correction applied, and the date the correction was made. We do not delete the original erroneous text from the correction notice — transparency requires that readers understand what was wrong as well as what is now correct.

For outdated information updates and minor clarifications that do not involve factual errors, the article’s last-reviewed date is updated without a formal correction notice. Substantive changes to assessments, rankings, or recommendations are noted in the article.

What We Will Not Do

We will not quietly edit published articles to remove confirmed errors without disclosure. We will not delay corrections to protect a publishing schedule or commercial relationship. We will not revise editorial assessments in response to vendor pressure without independent evidential justification. We will not suppress reader corrections that reflect poorly on content we have published.
