Corrections Policy
Last updated August 31, 2026
This isn't a new practice — it's a formal statement of what theTrack Record page already does. Every scored audit on this site discloses its own errors, hits, and misses in the open, including cases where the original source file was factually wrong. This page states that standard plainly, in one place, rather than leaving it implicit.
What counts as a correction
- A factual, dating, or sourcing error in a published Dispatch or Track Record audit.
- A claim that turns out to be less accurate, or more overstated, than originally presented.
- A mischaracterization of a historical event, figure, or institution.
Editorial disagreement — someone reading the same evidence and reaching a different interpretation — isn't a correction. Prophetic and cyclical interpretation is offered as interpretation, not settled fact; see the Disclosures page.
How a correction is made
- The original piece is corrected in place — not quietly, and not by deleting the record of what was wrong. Where an error was significant enough to affect the piece's own conclusion, a status note stays attached to it stating what was found and what changed. The Track Record audits already do exactly this: several carry a standing "STATUS UPDATE" line naming the specific error found and confirming it was fixed at the source.
- The underlying source data gets fixed too, not just the published page — when an audit finds a dating or factual error in one of this site's own backtest files, that file itself is corrected, so the mistake doesn't propagate into future content built on it.
- Misses are published, not softened. Where a framework's own pattern fails to catch a real, significant event, that gap is stated as plainly as any hit — the Shemitah Cycle audit's own account of missing the Panic of 1907 and the 1929 crash is the standing example.
How to report something
If you think something published here is factually wrong, write towatch@theforensicscroll.com. Include a link to the specific piece and what you believe is inaccurate. Every report gets a real look — the same standard this site already applies to its own audits, not a lower one for outside corrections.
