Trust architecture
Credibility is a publishing system, not a slogan. Each item carries a format label, a named role and a record of material changes.
Figures are checked against primary documents wherever available. Uncertainty is stated, not hidden.
Reporting, analysis and opinion are labeled separately. Commentary does not masquerade as fact.
Material changes include what was corrected, when and why. Silent rewrites are not the standard.
