Editorial policy
The rules every article follows, from the source to the correction.
Sources
We write from official public sources: central banks, statistical agencies, company filings. We do not rewrite other media. Each article links to the publication it reports.
Figures
Every figure comes from a dated fact: a value read from the official API, or found word for word in the official document. Before publication, code checks that each number in the text matches one of these facts. An article with an unmatched number is not published.
Use of AI
Articles are drafted by AI models from the sheet of verified facts, natively in each language, then checked by code. Models never supply a figure. Short flashes are published once they pass the checks and are reviewed by a person afterwards; any article flagged by a check waits for a person. When a flash fails the checks, a fixed template filled only with the facts is published instead.
Facts and analysis
Each article keeps what was published apart from what it may change. Analysis uses conditional wording and names the mechanism. We give no buy, sell or position advice.
Forecasts
A forecast is shown only from a named public source, such as a central bank's projections. Without one, we compare with the previous value and with the official target.
Signature
Articles are signed B-NKER Research, the name of our newsroom.
Corrections
A wrong figure is corrected on the page, with the date and the cause, and logged on the corrections page.
Reuse
Our facts are free to reuse under the CC BY 4.0 licence, with the mention “Data: B-NKER (b-nker.com)”. Articles are free to read on the site.
