Editorial policy

How we research what we publish, where our figures come from, and how we fix what we get wrong.

How we research

We start from primary sources. Company facts come from SEC filings, quarterly 13F filings, earnings-call transcripts, and company press releases, not from secondary blogs or aggregators. Market data comes from established providers, and it is delayed. When a guide cites a figure, a rule, or a competitor detail, we check it against the original source before we publish.

Where another tool or a free public resource does something better than Brief Equity, we say so. Our comparisons and roundups name the cases where an alternative is the right choice, including the ones we lose. A page that only ever concludes in our own favor is not one we would trust ourselves, so we do not write them.

Who writes and reviews

Our guides are published under one byline, The Brief Equity Team, by the people who build the product and use it to research their own portfolios. A person reviews each page before it goes live. We do not run a paid content farm, and we do not claim credentials or a review board we do not have.

Corrections

Competitor pricing and features reflect public information at the time of writing and can change. If you find something inaccurate or out of date, email info@briefequity.com and we will correct it. When we revise a page, we update the visible date on it.

Not investment advice

Brief Equity is a research tool, not a broker or an investment adviser. Everything we publish is for research and education, not investment advice, and the market data we show is delayed. The decisions you make with it are your own.
