Editorial Policy

Choosing topics

Topics come from the questions readers search for: whether a company is publicly traded, how an investing practice works, or how a type of business software is used. Related searches with the same intent are grouped into one article rather than split into thin copies, so each published page is meant to answer its question fully.

Research and sources

Articles are written by the Kidawood Editorial Team. Company and market facts are checked against primary sources where they exist, such as SEC filings and company search records, exchange listing directories, and regulator guidance from bodies such as the SEC and FINRA. Software articles are based on how the type of product is generally used in the trade, and they avoid product rankings and prices, which change too often to state responsibly without a test.

Each article lists its sources at the foot of the page, shows the dates it was published and last updated, and opens with a short direct answer to the question in its title.

Accuracy and balance

Writers must not invent figures, prices, statistics or quotations. Where a fact cannot be confirmed from a reliable source, the article either leaves it out or says plainly that it is unverified. On investing topics, risks are explained in the body of the article, not only in the disclaimer. Kidawood does not accept payment to cover, praise or criticise a company or product.

Updates

Articles are reviewed when the underlying facts change, such as a company listing on an exchange or a regulator updating its guidance. Changes are reflected in the updated date on the page. Material errors are handled under the corrections policy.
