SpeedWire Editorial Standards, Fact-Checking & Corrections Policy

1. Primary Source & Data Verification Standards

All benchmarks published on the SpeedWire Intelligence Wire—including the Global Broker CAC Index—are derived exclusively from:

• Official Regulatory Documents: Public circulars, enforcement decrees, and warning registers issued directly by regulatory bodies (e.g., FCA, CySEC, CFTC, SEC, ASIC, DFSA, FSCA).
• Anonymized Telemetry: Aggregated, multi-source CRM and Google/Microsoft Ads auction telemetry across verified brokerage accounts with individual identifying markers stripped for privacy.
• Direct C-Suite Confirmation: First-hand statements confirmed on the record by executive leadership, authorized legal counsel, or compliance officers.

2. Independence & Commercial Separation Policy

SpeedWire operates under strict commercial separation. Coverage of regulatory actions, brokerage performance, or payment gateway adoption cannot be bought, influenced, or sponsored.

Any commercial relationship between M&G Speed Marketing and any entity mentioned in an analytical report is disclosed explicitly within the body of the article. We reject sponsored guest posts, paid promotional backlinks, and non-transparent affiliate review models.

3. Fact-Checking & Review Process

Prior to publication, every intelligence report undergoes a three-step review:

1. Technical Footprint Audit: Verifying domain records, license registries, and regulatory statuses against live official portals.
2. Data Math Reconciliation: Confirming sample sizes, currency conversions, and percentage variances against historical baselines.
3. Legal & Compliance Sanity Check: Ensuring reporting strictly adheres to fair comment, public interest, and regulatory reporting standards.

4. Transparent Corrections Policy

SpeedWire promptly corrects errors of fact or context. When an error is identified:

• Immediate Rectification: The text is amended immediately in the live article.
• Timestamped Correction Note: A transparent correction notice is appended to the top or bottom of the article specifying what was amended, why, and the exact timestamp.
• Submission of Corrections: Readers, broker executives, and regulatory bodies can submit correction requests directly to editor@speed.cy with the subject line "Correction Request: [Article Title]". All inquiries receive a formal response within 24 business hours.

5. Google Preferred Sources & AI Overviews Distribution

SpeedWire complies with Google's Publisher Center protocols and official Preferred Source integration standards.
