Corrections Policy

Orbis Signal aims for analytical accuracy and source integrity. When we get something wrong — a factual error, a misattributed source, an incorrect epistemic label, or a material omission — we will investigate promptly and correct the record transparently.

Corrections apply to substantive errors that affect reader understanding. We do not issue corrections for differences of analytical interpretation where evidence and epistemic labelling were applied in good faith.

If you believe a published briefing contains a factual error, please contact us with:

• The briefing date and topic
• The specific claim, sentence, or source you believe is incorrect
• Your reason for believing it is wrong, with supporting evidence or a link to a primary source if available

Send reports to contact@orbis-signal.com with the subject line Correction request, or use our Support form and select feedback related to briefing accuracy.

When we receive a correction request, we:

• Acknowledge receipt within two business days
• Retrieve the production audit trail for the edition in question, including the evidence record, source URLs, and quality control results
• Assess whether the reported issue is a factual error, a sourcing problem, an epistemic mislabelling, or a matter of analytical judgment
• Determine the appropriate remedy — inline correction, source update, epistemic relabelling, or a published correction notice

We aim to complete substantive reviews within five business days. Complex cases involving disputed primary sources may take longer; we will communicate status updates.

Depending on severity and timing, corrections may take these forms:

• Minor correction — typographical errors, broken links, or formatting issues corrected without a separate notice
• Substantive correction — factual errors corrected in the live briefing with a dated correction note appended to the affected section
• Source correction — misattributed or invalid URLs replaced or removed; epistemic labels adjusted to reflect actual source quality
• Retraction — in rare cases where a briefing section cannot be responsibly supported, the affected content is removed with an explanation

Substantive corrections are disclosed on the affected briefing with a visible note stating what was changed, when, and why. We do not silently alter published analytical content without record.

A log of significant corrections may be maintained on this Transparency Center page as our correction volume warrants. Individual correction notices appear on the affected briefings directly.

Orbis Signal briefings contain analytical inference and probability assessments that go beyond raw reporting. Reasonable readers may disagree with a judgment without that disagreement constituting a factual error.

We welcome substantive feedback on analytical framing. If you believe a judgment should carry a different epistemic type or confidence band, include your reasoning and we will review whether the labelling was appropriate given the evidence on record.
