This policy applies to every FORM/PRICE guide, research note and football-desk item. It is designed to make the published record inspectable—not merely persuasive.
Official competition, club and governing-body material is preferred for factual match context. Peer-reviewed or original research supports methodology. Secondary reporting must be named and attributable; anonymous social posts and scraped rewrites do not satisfy verification.
A material factual correction receives a dated note on the original URL. A retracted item keeps a public tombstone and its correction history. Typography and clarity edits may be made without changing the original claim.
AI may assist with collection checks, analysis, drafting, translation and consistency review. Every published claim still requires a named source or clearly labelled first-party evidence. An AI output is never cited as proof and cannot approve its own publication.
News, education, market movement and model selections are distinct states. An article cannot enter the performance ledger, and an editorial narrative cannot retroactively explain away a losing prospective record.
FORM/PRICE currently carries no bookmaker affiliate links, paid bookmaker placement or sponsored picks. If sponsorship is introduced later, it must be labelled and cannot alter model ranking, editorial conclusions or the public ledger.
Material is currently published by the FORM/PRICE Research desk as an organizational author. Personal expert profiles will appear only when a real reviewer has agreed to public attribution; credentials and endorsements will never be fabricated for trust signals.
