Editorial Ethics Policy

By the NewEdgePolicy Editorial Team · Last updated 13 July 2026

Our 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.

Reader-first

We write for the person trying to make a good decision, not for the insurer trying to make a sale. When reader interest and commercial interest conflict, the reader wins.

Honest about uncertainty

We distinguish settled regulation from common practice from our own reasoning, and we say when confidence is low or a rule is changing. We do not manufacture false certainty.

No manipulation

We do not use fear, urgency, or misleading framing to push you toward a product. Insurance decisions should be made calmly and on the facts.

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 If any statement here is inaccurate, out of date, or unclear, please tell us.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.
