Editorial Policy

Our goal is simple: help readers understand what gold costs, what can go wrong, and what the record shows.

Source rules

• Use first-party or primary documents for financial rules and company terms.
• Show the source and the date checked when a fact can change.
• Label examples as examples.
• Do not call data “live” unless the page really uses a current data source.
• Do not use a forecast as a fact.

Commercial pages

Commercial relationships do not change our source standard. Fees, minimums, promotions, insurance, and buyback terms must be checked against current documents. Old offers are archived or removed from active promotion.

Updates

A meaningful update changes the facts, sources, analysis, or user value. We do not change dates only to create a freshness signal.
