Accuracy
We aim to present financial and market information accurately, clearly and in its proper context. Material facts should be checked against identifiable and credible sources wherever reasonably possible.
STFL Standards
Editorial Policy
This policy describes the principles used to prepare, review, present and update STFL research and educational content.
Last updated: 26 October 2026
Editorial Principles
Standards guiding STFL content
Independence
Editorial conclusions should not be altered to satisfy an advertiser, data provider, commercial partner or company being discussed.
Transparency
STFL aims to explain important methodologies, data limitations, assumptions and material conflicts that could help users interpret its content.
Responsible Language
We avoid promises of assured returns, guaranteed accuracy and sensational claims that disregard investment risk or uncertainty.
Clear Separation
Educational content, analytical tools, editorial research, advertisements and sponsored material should remain clearly distinguishable from one another.
Continuous Improvement
Research processes and analytical models may be reviewed as data sources, regulations, market structures and technology evolve.
Sources
Preferred source hierarchy
When several sources are available, STFL generally gives greater weight to primary and authoritative information.
1
Regulatory and statutory disclosures
2
Stock-exchange announcements
3
Company filings and investor communications
4
Government and public institutional data
5
Authorised or identified market-data providers
6
Established financial information sources
7
Independent calculations based on disclosed assumptions
Review
What we seek to verify
The level of review may vary according to the nature, complexity and timeliness of the content.
Whether the central facts are supported by available sources
Whether dates, currencies, units and periods are presented consistently
Whether estimates are distinguished from reported information
Whether risks and limitations are adequately explained
Whether automated outputs require human clarification
Whether material conflicts or commercial relationships should be disclosed
Reported Information, Estimates and Opinions
STFL seeks to distinguish reported facts from estimates, model outputs, interpretations and opinions. A forecast or valuation estimate should not be presented as an established future outcome. Market conditions and company performance can change after publication.
Automated and AI-Assisted Content
Automated calculations and artificial-intelligence tools may support data processing, summarisation, classification or drafting. These systems can make mistakes. Important information should be checked against primary sources, and automated outputs should not be treated as guarantees or personalized advice.
Corrections and Updates
When STFL identifies a material factual or calculation error, we aim to correct it within a reasonable period. Content may also be updated when new financial results, exchange announcements, corporate actions or improved datasets become available.
Conflicts of Interest
Material ownership, commercial relationships, sponsorships or other interests that could reasonably affect the interpretation of published research should be disclosed when applicable. Such disclosures do not eliminate the need for users to conduct independent research.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
Advertising does not determine the analytical conclusions presented by STFL. Paid or sponsored content, if published, should be clearly identified. Advertisements should not be designed to resemble technical signals, navigation controls or independent editorial conclusions.
Testimonials and Performance Claims
STFL does not use selective performance examples to guarantee future results. Historical performance, simulations, backtests and hypothetical outcomes must be interpreted with their assumptions and limitations.
Report a possible error
If you believe that STFL content contains a material factual, calculation or attribution error, please provide the relevant page, disputed information and supporting source through the contact page.
