Fact-Checking Policy
This fact-checking policy explains exactly how Nexvolu verifies what it publishes. In short, no claim, statistic, or quote reaches a reader until a human has confirmed it against a reliable source. We wrote this because accuracy is not a nice-to-have on money and health topics, it’s the whole job. Ultimately, this is the standard we hold every article to, whoever writes it.
Why our fact-checking policy exists
Readers act on what they read here they make decisions about their money, their health, and their time. For that reason, getting the facts right isn’t optional. Moreover, a single unchecked number can undermine trust in everything else we publish. So we treat verification as a required step, not a final polish.
What counts as a source when we fact-check
We don’t treat every link as equal. First, we prefer primary sources the original study, the agency, the official filing over aggregators that summarise them. In practice, that means:
- Health: the CDC, NIH, WHO, the NHS, the Mayo Clinic, and peer-reviewed journals.
- Finance: the Federal Reserve, the SEC, the IRS, and established financial institutions.
- General news and data: official reports, named organisations, and reputable primary reporting.
We avoid citing anonymous blogs, AI-generated summaries, or unsourced social posts as evidence.
How our fact-checking policy verifies a claim
Every statistic, quote, or specific factual claim goes through the same loop before it publishes:
- Open the actual source. A search snippet is not proof. We open the original page and read it in context.
- Confirm it exactly. We check that the number or quote genuinely exists and says what we claim — no rounding up, no paraphrasing that changes meaning.
- Record the details. We note the exact figure, the named publisher, the year, and the URL, then cite it inline.
- Prefer the primary source. Where an aggregator and the original disagree, the original wins.
- Flag the unconfirmable. If we can’t open or confirm a claim, it doesn’t run as fact; full stop.
What we never do
We never invent data, quotes, case studies, or first-hand experience. We never present an estimate as a measured figure, and we never claim we “tested” or “measured” something that didn’t happen. Illustrative examples are fine but only when they’re clearly framed as examples, never disguised as real results.
AI and fact-checking
We sometimes use AI tools to help draft and research. However, we never trust AI output as a source. Instead, every AI-assisted claim is verified by a human against a named, primary source using the loop above before it publishes. In other words, AI can help us write faster, it can never decide what’s true.
Our fact-checking policy for YMYL topics
Health and finance articles get a stricter pass. Every health or financial statistic must trace back to a named authority, claims stay conservative (“may,” “some research suggests,” “talk to a professional” never guaranteed outcomes or dosages), and each piece carries the appropriate disclaimer. Health and finance articles receive additional editorial review and are based on authoritative sources. They are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical or financial advice.
Corrections and updates
We get things wrong sometimes, and when we do, we correct them openly rather than quietly deleting them. If you spot an error, please email us at contact@nexvolu.com with the article title and the detail in question. We review every correction request promptly, fix confirmed errors, and note significant updates on the article itself. For the bigger picture on how this fits our standards, see our Editorial Policy. This policy is reviewed periodically and updated when our editorial standards or publishing practices change.
