Accuracy and sourcing

Art Market Compass seeks primary or authoritative sources for material claims. Sources are linked or identified on the article. Anonymous claims are not presented as verified fact.

Authorship

Every substantive article names the person responsible for the work and links to a profile describing relevant experience. AI systems are not listed as authors.

Commercial independence

Paid placement, affiliate links and compensation for favorable coverage are not accepted. If an author or related advisory business has a material interest relevant to an article, it must be disclosed on that page.

Review and updates

Publication and substantive review dates are displayed. Dates are not changed merely to create an appearance of freshness.

Corrections

Material factual errors are corrected promptly. The correction note identifies what changed and when. Readers can report concerns through the contact page.

Generative AI

AI may assist the editorial process, but a human author reviews and accepts responsibility for every published claim. Automated content is not produced at scale to manipulate search visibility.
