How BriefPulse Small Business works

Where the stories come from

• Each publication follows a fixed list of public feeds and APIs, listed below. Nothing is scraped from behind a paywall.
• A story is written from the text stored for it, and every article links the exact pages used.
• Numbers and identifiers in the text must appear in that stored text before publication; anything that cannot be traced is removed rather than guessed.
• Reporting and interpretation are separated: reported statements are listed with the page that states them, and our own reading is labelled as ours.
• Where the reporting was silent, the text says so instead of filling the gap.

What this publication avoids

• Unsourced claims, invented numbers, and headlines the reporting cannot carry.

Corrections and withdrawals

• When source material changes, the story is revised and the change is recorded on the article.
• If a story cannot be supported, it is withdrawn: the address stays live with an explanation instead of disappearing.
• To ask for a correction, reply to the source list on the story.

Sources followed

These are the publishers and public bodies this desk actually collects from, with the interval each one is checked. A source appears here once it has completed a collection; a feed that stops working is removed until it is fixed. Reference pages the desk checks by hand are listed separately.
