Trust Center & Editorial Standards

NewEdgePolicy is an independent, ad-supported insurance education publisher for India — not an insurer or broker. We build trust around the publication itself: transparent methods, evidence traced to official sources, dated reviews, and a clear corrections process. Below is exactly how we work.

How we produce content

Research MethodologyWe research every topic from primary sources first — IRDAI regulations and circulars, insurer policy wordings, and official government data — before writing a single sentence.

Evidence MethodologyKey claims carry a machine-readable evidence record — the authority behind them, the source, its date, and a confidence level — so you and AI systems can verify them.

Source Selection PolicyWe rank sources by authority. Regulators and primary documents sit at the top; insurer and aggregator marketing sits at the bottom and is never used as proof.

Fact-Checking PolicyBefore a page publishes, its material claims are checked against the primary source and recorded in our evidence layer. Anything we cannot verify does not go in as fact.

How We Evaluate Insurance ProductsWe are transparent about our method: we analyse policy wordings, IRDAI filings, and public data. We do not run proprietary "tests," accept payment for ratings, or claim hands-on trials we have not done.

How we maintain accuracy

Review ProcessEvery page follows the same workflow: research from primary sources, draft, evidence-check, editorial review, publish with a review date, then re-review on a schedule.

Update PolicyPages carry a visible review date and are updated whenever the underlying regulation changes or we find something inaccurate — not on a cosmetic schedule.

Corrections PolicySpotted an error? Tell us. We verify, fix it promptly, and record the correction with the date it was made rather than quietly editing.

Version History & Transparency of ChangeWe track when pages are reviewed and updated, and surface those dates on the page, so you can see the content is actively maintained rather than abandoned.

Independence & transparency

Independence & Conflict-of-Interest PolicyOur editorial content is independent of our advertising and affiliate relationships. No insurer can pay to be recommended, rated higher, or written about more kindly.

Transparency PolicyWe are clear about what we are: an independent, ad-supported insurance education publisher for India. We are not an insurer, broker, or aggregator, and we do not sell policies.

AI Usage PolicyWe use AI as a tool to research and draft faster, always under human editorial oversight and always checked against primary sources. AI is never allowed to invent facts, statistics, or citations.

Editorial Ethics PolicyOur ethics are simple: put the reader first, be honest about what we do and do not know, and never use fear or pressure to push a financial decision.

People & governance

The NewEdgePolicy Editorial TeamOur content is produced and reviewed by the NewEdgePolicy Editorial Team, working to the published standards on this site. We attribute honestly at the publication level rather than invent named experts.

Editorial StandardsEvery page must be evidence-based, clearly written, balanced, dated, and free of sales pressure. These are the standards our team holds itself to.

Contributor GuidelinesAnyone contributing must source from primary documents, disclose conflicts, write in plain language, and never fabricate facts or credentials.

Future Expert Reviewer FrameworkOur platform is built to plug in real, qualified reviewers (such as IRDAI-licensed professionals) with verifiable credentials, per page, whenever they join — no redesign required.
