Editorial Standards & Policies
Our commitment to accuracy, objectivity, and transparency.
At MicroStocks.in, our goal is to provide institutional-grade financial analysis and education to retail investors. Because we deal with financial topics, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy, objectivity, and transparency (YMYL - Your Money or Your Life). This page outlines the editorial processes that govern our content.
1. Fact-Checking & Primary Sources
Our editorial process requires rigorous fact-checking for all published data:
- Exchange Verification: Market data, index constituents, and regulatory rules are verified against official exchange bulletins (NSE, BSE, NASDAQ, SGX, etc.).
- Corporate Filings: Financial metrics, earnings results, and corporate actions are sourced directly from the company's official filings (e.g., Annual Reports, 10-K, 10-Q) rather than third-party aggregators.
- Regulatory Updates: Policy changes or compliance rules are cited directly from the governing bodies (e.g., SEBI, SEC, MAS).
2. Author Expertise & Independence
All content on MicroStocks.in is written and reviewed by financial professionals with demonstrable expertise in their fields.
- Verifiable Credentials: Every article includes a detailed author bio, outlining their qualifications (such as CFA, FRM, or advanced degrees) and areas of market specialty.
- Independence: Our writers and analysts are independent. We do not accept compensation from publicly traded companies to write favorable reviews, promote their stock, or manipulate market sentiment.
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage Policy
As an AI-powered stock analysis platform, we extensively use advanced machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to parse large datasets and generate initial market screenings. However, we maintain strict oversight:
- AI as a Tool: AI is used to aggregate data, run quantitative screeners, and surface technical signals. It is not used to write the final editorial opinion or investment thesis.
- Human Review: Every article, blog post, and glossary definition published on the site goes through a rigorous human editorial review process by our credentialed experts before publication.
- Algorithmic Transparency: When quantitative models are used to generate a list of stocks (e.g., "Top Gainers"), the criteria and methodology for that model are transparently stated.
4. Corrections & Updates
We strive for 100% accuracy, but given the dynamic nature of financial markets, errors can occasionally occur or information may become outdated.
- Content Updates: We actively review our glossary and evergreen blog posts. When a post is updated, the "Last updated" date at the top of the article reflects the most recent review.
- Reporting Errors: If you spot a factual error, broken link, or outdated regulatory citation, please let us know immediately so we can investigate and correct it.
