Fact-Checking Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

At BetterChosen, accuracy is fundamental to our editorial mission.

We are committed to publishing content that is factually correct, transparent, and responsibly researched, especially in areas that influence purchasing decisions and lifestyle choices.

Our fact-checking process is designed to:

    • Ensure information is reliable and current
    • Reduce bias, misinformation, and promotional influence
    • Provide readers with confidence in our reviews and guides

Every article published on BetterChosen reflects a deliberate effort to verify claims, validate data, and present information in context.

How We Verify Information

Our verification process combines editorial judgment, primary research, and independent source review. The depth of verification varies by content type but follows consistent standards.

Source Evaluation

We evaluate all sources before referencing them in our content. Priority is given to:

    • Primary sources (official documentation, product specifications, company disclosures)
    • Reputable industry publications and research outlets
    • Verified user data, usage documentation, and first-hand testing insights

We avoid:

    • Anonymous or unverified sources
    • Sponsored claims presented as independent facts
    • Data that cannot be reasonably traced or validated

Sources are reviewed for relevance, credibility, and publication date to ensure context and accuracy.

Data Validation

When presenting statistics, feature comparisons, pricing information, or performance claims, we:

    • Cross-check data against multiple reliable references
    • Confirm figures using official sources when available
    • Clearly distinguish between factual data and editorial analysis or opinion

If estimates or projections are used, they are identified as such and supported with context.

Editorial Review Process

All content on BetterChosen is reviewed by a named editor responsible for that coverage area.

The editorial review process typically includes:

    • Verification of factual claims and product details
    • Consistency checks against our editorial standards
    • Clarity review to prevent misleading interpretations
    • We do not publish anonymous content. Accountability is maintained through visible author attribution and editorial oversight.

Updates and Corrections

We recognize that information can change over time. When content becomes outdated or requires correction:

    • Articles are reviewed and updated as necessary
    • Material errors are corrected promptly once identified
    • Substantial updates may include a visible “Last updated” notice

Our goal is to maintain content accuracy over time, not just at the moment of publication.

Use of AI and Automation

BetterChosen may use AI-assisted tools to support research efficiency, content organization, or internal workflows. However:

    • AI tools do not replace editorial judgment
    • All published content is reviewed and approved by a human editor
    • AI-generated outputs are verified before inclusion

We do not publish fully automated or unreviewed AI-generated articles.

Reader Feedback and Error Reporting

We value reader feedback as part of our quality assurance process.

If you believe any content on BetterChosen contains factual inaccuracies or requires clarification, you may contact our editorial team.

All reports are reviewed, and verified issues are addressed promptly.
