Editorial policy

Accuracy

We aim to base every factual claim on a reliable source: official statistics, government and central bank publications, company documentation, or published research. Where something is an estimate, an opinion or a rule of thumb, we try to say so clearly.

How articles are written

Articles are planned, researched and edited by a person. Like many publishers, we sometimes use software tools — including AI assistants — to help with research, outlining or proofreading. Nothing is published without being reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a human, who takes responsibility for the final text.

Independence

Guide Market earns money from display advertising. Advertisers don't choose, review or influence our articles. We don't accept payment for coverage. If we ever publish sponsored content or use affiliate links, it will be clearly labelled.

Updates and corrections

Topics like interest rates, technology and software change quickly. When an article is significantly updated, we show an "Updated" date next to the original publication date.

If you spot an error, please contact us. We'll check it, fix it if we got it wrong, and note significant corrections in the article.

Not personal advice

Our articles explain general concepts. They don't take your personal circumstances into account and aren't a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
