Editorial Policy

1. Purpose and scope

This policy applies to Forvest blog articles, explainers, guides, news reviews and educational product content. Our purpose is to help readers understand financial and crypto-asset risk, compare evidence and make more informed decisions. Our content is not a substitute for personalized financial, legal, tax or investment advice.

Forvest is designed for decision support rather than price prediction. We do not publish guaranteed-return claims, trading signals or instructions to buy or sell a particular asset.

2. Who creates and reviews content

• Every article displays the real author byline and links to a public author profile.
• The profile describes the person’s role, relevant experience, areas of focus and verifiable external profiles without inflating credentials.
• A reviewer is named only when that person has completed a meaningful second-person review.
• The author owns the accuracy of the draft; the reviewer owns the checks they actually performed; Forvest remains accountable for the published page.
• Financial, performance, security and regulatory claims receive stronger evidence checks because they can affect readers’ money or safety.

3. Editorial standards

We begin with a genuine reader question and aim to provide a clear answer, the important assumptions, the main downside risks and a practical next step. Articles should add original value through a worked example, transparent method, calculation, checklist, product screenshot or structured analysis where relevant.

Headlines, summaries and calls to action must accurately represent the article. We distinguish facts from interpretation, identify material uncertainty and avoid fear-of-missing-out language. Where evidence is mixed, incomplete or fast-changing, the article says so.

4. Sources and evidence

We prefer primary and authoritative sources: regulators, legislation and rulebooks, official project or protocol documentation, audited or first-party data, recognized standards and original research. Reputable specialist reporting may provide context, but it does not replace primary evidence for a material claim when primary evidence is available.

• Important claims should link to the source closest to the underlying fact.
• Risk, performance and security claims require context, date, scope and limitations.
• Past performance is never presented as proof of future results.
• Anonymous social posts, affiliate pages and unverified promotional material are not treated as sufficient evidence.
• Sources are checked for relevance, authority, recency and whether they actually support the statement made.

5. Use of AI

AI may assist with monitoring topics, summarizing source material, organizing an outline, producing a draft or identifying passages that need review. AI is not treated as a source and is not allowed to invent citations, credentials, experience, data or certainty.

A named human checks the source documents, verifies material claims, challenges unsupported conclusions, edits the language and approves the final content. We disclose material AI assistance when explaining the production method would reasonably help a reader assess the content.

6. Forvest products, commercial interests and conflicts

Forvest publishes educational content and also develops Fortuna, a portfolio and risk-monitoring product. This relationship creates a commercial interest and must be clear. Product links are included only when directly relevant, are labelled as Forvest links and must not change the conclusion of an article.

Sponsored or paid content, if introduced, must be conspicuously identified before the main content. Authors and reviewers should disclose material financial interests, compensation or relationships that could reasonably affect the topic. Editorial access is never sold in a way that disguises promotion as independent analysis.

7. Corrections, reviews and updates

Materially changed articles display a real updated or reviewed date. Routine formatting changes do not justify a new date. Significant factual corrections should be explained in a visible correction note; smaller fixes may be made without a note when they do not change the meaning.

Review frequency is based on risk and change rate. Regulatory, security, product and market-structure content is reviewed more often than stable educational definitions. Superseded or unreliable information should be corrected, clearly qualified or retired through a separate, reviewed SEO process.

8. What we do not publish

• Promises of profit, safety or low risk.
• Price certainty, guaranteed predictions or undisclosed promotional copy.
• Fabricated experience, sources, quotations, screenshots, tests or performance results.
• Pressure tactics, artificial urgency or language that exploits fear of missing out.
• Silent material rewrites that keep a misleading date or byline.
• Personalized buy, sell or hold instructions presented as Forvest education.

9. Feedback, questions and reference standards

Readers can report a possible error or conflict by emailing info@forvest.io. Include the page URL, the statement in question and supporting evidence where possible.

This policy is informed by Google Search Central’s people-first content and Who, How, Why guidance. It should be reviewed alongside the Forvest Methodology and Financial Disclaimer.
