Editorial Standards

By the NewEdgePolicy Editorial Team · Last updated 13 July 2026

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

The standard for every page

Evidence-based — material claims trace to primary sources with a confidence level.
Clear — written for a real person making a decision, not for jargon's sake.
Balanced — trade-offs and downsides are stated, not hidden.
Dated — a visible review date, honestly maintained.
Independent — free of advertiser or affiliate influence.

These standards are operationalised through our Review Process, Fact-Checking Policy, and Evidence Methodology.

Keeping this honest. If any statement here is inaccurate, out of date, or unclear, please tell us. We log corrections with the date they were made. This page is reviewed on our standard editorial cycle.

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.
