Correction categories
| Category | Examples | Typical response |
|---|---|---|
| Material factual error | Wrong figure, date, entity, source, instrument, quotation, or statement that changes the main conclusion. | Correct promptly, review related conclusions, and add a noticeable correction explanation where appropriate. |
| Non-material factual error | A mistake that does not change the main conclusion. | Correct the text and consider a short note if readers could have relied on the original. |
| Clarification | Wording is ambiguous or lacks necessary context. | Revise or add context without describing the original as false when it was not. |
| Data-provider issue | A widget, symbol, delayed value, chart, or provider feed appears wrong or unavailable. | Verify the page and supporting source, add a notice or remove a broken component, and refer underlying provider issues where necessary. |
| Presentation or accessibility issue | Broken link, heading error, poor contrast, cropped logo, missing label, mobile overflow, or keyboard barrier. | Fix the display or interaction and test the affected view. |
| Disagreement or opinion | A reader reaches a different conclusion from the same facts. | Review factual support and labeling; no correction is required merely because opinions differ. |

Review process
Log and identify
Confirm the page, version, statement, and supporting material.
Verify
Review the cited evidence, original sources, calculation, timeframe, and page context.
Assess materiality
Determine whether the issue changes meaning, risk, conclusion, or a user’s likely understanding.
Correct or clarify
Revise the material, add context, repair the display, or explain why no change is warranted.
Check related content
Consider whether the same error appears in another page, chart, brief, or linked document.
Correction notices
A material correction should be described in a way that allows a reasonable reader to understand what changed and why. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, link, or accessibility changes may be made without a prominent notice when meaning is unchanged.
Unresolved concerns and complaints
If you disagree with the response, reply with the additional evidence and identify the unresolved issue. Repeated submissions without new support may be closed. A well-supported complaint about misleading presentation, conflict disclosure, privacy, or security may be routed under the relevant policy.
Records and limitations
Relevant request and correction records may be retained to document review, prevent repeated errors, and resolve disputes. Correction does not guarantee that every copy, screenshot, cache, forwarded message, or third-party reproduction will be updated.
