Editorial Policy

Facts, never advice. Every page reports observations with their reference period and source. We do not recommend, rate, or rank instruments by attractiveness, and we never tell a reader to buy, sell, or hold anything.

News selection. Headlines are aggregated by topic and instrument from mainstream outlets and financial feeds. Press-release wires and buy/sell-rating content mills are excluded by a standing blocklist. Every item names its publisher, shows the publisher's own summary, and links to the original article. Inclusion is not endorsement.

AI-written content, labeled. Short data briefs and Ask the Data answers are generated with AI from the figures on this site, under rules that forbid advice, predictions, and invented numbers. They are labeled ("Options Band Data Desk", "model-estimated") wherever they appear, and every generated figure carries its as-of date. An automated language check additionally scans the site for advisory phrasing before each release.

Corrections. When a source revises a figure, our pipelines overwrite it on the next refresh and the observation date updates. If you find an error the pipelines missed, use Contact — corrections ship with the next deploy.

Independence. Data display is never influenced by advertisers or partners. If affiliate links are ever introduced, they will be disclosed and marked at the point of decision.
