Corrections

ACCOUNTABILITY · VERSIONED EVIDENCE

Corrections belong in the evidence record

BYBI corrects material errors transparently and updates conclusions when better evidence changes the record. The purpose is not to hide that a page evolved; it is to show readers what changed, why and when.

Public standardMaterial corrections are dated, described and attached to the affected page.

Correction threshold

What receives a visible correction

Small typographical fixes may be made silently when they do not alter meaning. Changes that affect understanding, evidence or action receive a public note.

FACTUAL ERROR

A statement is wrong

Names, dates, quotations, figures, source descriptions or other verifiable facts.

MATERIAL OMISSION

Important context is missing

Evidence or qualification that would reasonably change how the reader interprets the claim.

MISLEADING FRAME

The wording overstates the record

Language, denominators or comparisons that create a materially inaccurate impression.

VERDICT CHANGE

New evidence changes the conclusion

A revised assessment, confidence level or decision rule supported by a stronger record.
