Editorial policy

Original work and linked reporting

Case studies contain a dated source record followed by our analysis. We identify allegations and settlements as such and do not present them as new reporting.

The latest-headlines section is automatically collected from third-party RSS feeds every 15 minutes. It shows the publisher and original publication time and links to the full report. Those headlines are not articles written or independently verified by Big Bad Decisions.

Freshness and outages

Collection time and publication time are different. When sources are unavailable, saved headlines may remain visible with an update warning. Original guides and case studies are revised deliberately; their dates do not change simply because a feed was refreshed.

Corrections

Send a source-supported correction through Contact. Material revisions should explain what changed. We do not invent authors, hands-on tests, customer reviews or partnership approvals.

Commercial links

Affiliate and referral relationships are disclosed. A product link is not an assurance about price, availability, suitability or returns.
