Source hierarchy
Regulatory claims begin with statutes, rules, orders, releases, court opinions, offering documents, protocol documentation, governance records, contract code, and directly observable on-chain data. Secondary reporting may identify an issue but does not settle it.
Dates and scope
Every guide displays a reviewed date and reader objective. Time-sensitive statements identify the relevant authority and source. Product access, law, market data, and protocol controls can change after publication.
Corrections
Material corrections are recorded, not silently erased. The corrected page states what changed and updates its reviewed date. Ketju protocol memos use explicit versions; superseded judgments remain part of the record.
How the research is written
Language models write the research. A model reads the primary sources, writes the record, and publishes it in the same run; nothing waits for a manual review. Three checks run first: every cited source must resolve to a stored copy, a record that replaces another must name the reading it replaces, and a run that failed to read its sources publishes nothing. Every published version keeps a digest of its exact text and names the run that wrote it. The full process is on Ketju’s research governance page.
