CRONACA FARO / REFERENCE NOTE

Editorial policy

Cronaca Faro uses an evidence-first editorial rule: describe the source accurately, make the distinction between fact and claim visible, and do not write a stronger conclusion than the record supports.

AT A GLANCE

The important points first

01

Write for a person who is trying to verify something

Our audience is not assumed to know regulatory terminology. When a source uses a specialist expression, the article should explain what practical question the term answers and what it does not answer.

We prefer a sentence such as “the company name appears in this register” to a vague phrase such as “everything checks out”.

02

Keep fact, claim and interpretation separate

If a company states that it is licensed, that statement is a claim until the relevant register supports it. If a regulator publishes a warning, the warning is a fact about what the regulator published; the page should describe its date and scope.

Our own interpretation should be clearly framed as an explanation, not presented as if it were part of the source.

03

No paid rankings or verification badges

Cronaca Faro does not sell favourable placements, scores, badges or removals. A company cannot pay to be described as “verified”, and a consultation is not a sales funnel to a broker, trading platform or recovery company.

If the project ever introduces sponsorship or a commercial relationship, the editorial and disclosure pages would need to be revised before that activity begins.

04

Naming third parties

Third-party brand and company names may appear because they are the subject of a search, a public record or an educational example. Their appearance does not mean that the third party sponsors, endorses or operates Cronaca Faro.

We avoid copying logos or marketing material where a text reference is sufficient to explain the research point.

05

Sensitive allegations

Words such as fraud, scam, criminal, fake or illegal can have serious implications. We do not use them as an automatic label generated from a keyword. If an authority uses such wording in a published notice, we attribute the statement to that authority and preserve the context.

Where evidence is incomplete or conflicting, the page should say that rather than trying to manufacture certainty.

06

Corrections and update dates

When an error affects the meaning of a page, it should be corrected as soon as the supporting information can be checked. When a source materially changes, the page should be reviewed and its update date changed.

We do not remove accurate public information merely because it is inconvenient, but we also do not preserve a statement that has become demonstrably outdated.

07

AI and automated assistance

Tools may assist with drafting, translation, organisation or technical work, but publication responsibility remains with the site operator. Automated text is not treated as a source and an automated system is not allowed to turn a brand name into a factual accusation.

The value of the page should come from its method, source selection, context and limitations, not from the volume of generated words.
