CapitolExposed covers public-record accountability data. If something is wrong, the fix should be visible, specific, and traceable.
A correction includes factual errors in article text, wrong entity matches, broken evidence links, incorrect data labels, mistaken counts, or processing errors that materially change how a reader would understand a page.
Minor style changes, wording cleanup, or layout fixes that do not alter the meaning of the page may be updated without a formal correction note.
Correction requests should be acknowledged within two business days.
We compare the claim against the underlying filing, document, or database entry before changing public content.
If the correction is confirmed and material, the affected page should show that a correction was made.
When possible, we preserve the original source value and distinguish between source-record errors and our own processing or editorial errors.
Some records are wrong at the source. If an official filing contains a typo, an ambiguous asset description, or a self-reported error, we aim to preserve the original filing value while clearly annotating the problem.
If the mistake was introduced by CapitolExposed during parsing, matching, summarization, or editorial framing, we treat that as our correction and note it accordingly.
