Hex Trust editorial and AI-use policy

Hex Trust Insights articles are written by the research team, checked against primary sources, reviewed by a compliance role before publication and dated; AI-assisted drafts are fact-checked by a named person before anything is published, and readers can report an error at [email protected].

HT-01 Authors and reviewers

Who writes and who reviews

The guides in Hex Trust Insights carry the byline of the Hex Trust Research Team and are reviewed by the Head of Compliance before they are published. Before the site goes live, every article names its author and its reviewer, each with a role, relevant qualifications and a profile page. The company behind the articles is described on the page about Hex Trust.

HT-02 Sourcing

Sourcing standard

Primary sources come first: regulator registers and rulebooks, standards bodies, and audit and assurance reports. Every figure carries its source and the date it was read. Facts about Hex Trust are quoted from its published pages, and where two pages disagree the article says so. The three current guides show the method:

HT-03 AI assistance

AI-assisted drafting

AI tools may help to draft text, titles, meta descriptions, structured data and image descriptions. Nothing AI-assisted is published until a named person has checked every claim against its source and approved the page. The name of that person and the date of the check are logged for each page. AI is never used to produce pages in bulk, and an article says so when automation played a material part in it.

HT-04 Corrections

Corrections and updates

If you find an error, write to [email protected] or use the contact page to report an error. A correction is marked on the page with its date, and numbers are never changed silently. The “Updated” date on an article changes only when its content changes. Pillar guides are reviewed every 6 to 12 months.

HT-05 Independence

Independence and disclaimers

Hex Trust earns its income from the fees clients pay for the services on this site, and it publishes Insights itself. A mention of a Hex Trust service in a guide is labelled as such. Articles are for information only. They are not investment, legal or tax advice, and they make no price predictions.

HT-06 Placeholders

Prototype placeholders

In this prototype the team byline and the reviewer role are placeholders. Named, credentialed people replace them before publication. The same holds for every statement that the page source marks for verification: the owner confirms it or it is removed.

Each guide shows its sources, its review line and the date it was last updated.
