Corrections Policy

01 / Tell us

Report an error

Accuracy is central to The Meyers Report’s work. If you believe a factual statement is wrong, use our contact page to send a correction request. Please include the page or document URL, the exact passage, an explanation of the concern, and supporting sources where available.

For a forecast, include its record ID, PDF page, or forecast number. Specific, dated primary sources help us assess a report. Please do not send passwords, account credentials, or unnecessary personal information.

02 / Review

How we review reports

We assess a report against the original material and relevant evidence, preferring original records, official data, legislation, court documents, and other directly attributable sources. We may ask for clarification or consult the contributor responsible for the material.

Reports are considered on their evidence, regardless of the person or organization submitting them. A difference of opinion alone does not establish a factual error. Interpretations and disputed claims should be evaluated in context.

When a material factual error is confirmed, we correct the affected material and explain the substantive change. We do not promise a fixed response time; some reports require further documentation or investigation.

03 / What changed

Corrections, clarifications, and updates

• Correction: fixes a factual error in previously published material.
• Clarification: explains wording or context that could reasonably be misunderstood.
• Update: adds a later development or new information. A later change in circumstances does not by itself make an earlier statement incorrect.
• Routine edit: fixes formatting, spelling, or grammar without changing meaning. These edits do not require a substantive correction notice.

A change to a conclusion, a material figure, an attribution, or the meaning of a statement is substantive and should be identified rather than treated as a routine edit.

04 / Public explanation

Where correction notices appear

Substantive correction notices should appear with the affected article, page, document listing, or review record. The note identifies the date, the issue corrected, and the nature of the change. A correction should not silently erase the context needed to understand it.

When a downloadable document is substantively revised, identify the new version and explain the revision at its listing. Earlier forecast-source editions remain archived. Sensitive personal information should not be repeated unnecessarily in a public notice.

This policy applies to our editorial material. If a concern involves an external source or embedded service, we identify that distinction and correct our own description or attribution when appropriate.

05 / Forecast integrity

Forecast corrections preserve the record

The Forecast Accuracy Center preserves original forecast wording, printed dates, source pages, and an archived PDF. Printed dates and source result notes are distinguished from evidence-backed reviews.

A changed assessment is published as a new review with its date, reasoning, evidence, and methodology version. Previous reviews remain visible. Original wording and published resolution criteria are not edited to improve the apparent outcome.

A substantively changed forecast belongs in a separately archived edition. Any future methodology revision must have a new published version; it must not silently replace the rules used for earlier results.

06 / Access

Public and subscriber material

The same correction principles apply to public and subscriber material. Public notices remain available with public material. Subscriber-content notices appear with the protected material without exposing the full subscriber document publicly.
