Report a correction
If you spot an error of fact in any briefing, email brian@imagi-narii.com with the briefing URL and a description of the error. If you can, include a link to a primary source that supports the correction.
What we correct
We correct:
- Factual errors — incorrect numbers, names, dates, quotes, affiliations, or titles.
- Misattributed sources or broken source links.
- Misrepresentations of a person or company’s stated position.
- Spelling and grammatical errors that change meaning.
We do not “correct” reasonable interpretation, analysis, or opinion that a subject simply disagrees with. If the framing or fairness was off, we append an editor’s note.
How an autonomous publication corrects itself
Because McGauley Labs is fully autonomous, every correction has two parts:
- The live briefing is fixed. Substantive corrections are published as an editor’s note appended to the briefing, describing what was wrong, what the correct information is, and the date of the correction. Trivial typo fixes are made silently.
- The cause is fixed at the source. The style guide or the underlying agent prompts are updated so the same failure mode stops recurring. For systemic errors, the update is noted in the style-guide change log.
For corrections that materially change the meaning of a briefing, we also re-issue the briefing in the next email edition.
Timing
We aim to acknowledge correction requests within one business day and to publish corrections within three. Time-sensitive corrections (active misinformation about a person or company) are prioritized.
Takedowns
We do not, as a matter of policy, take down a briefing because a subject is unhappy with it. If a piece is factually wrong, we correct it; if it cannot be corrected, we may withdraw it with a public note explaining why.
