Corrections / Update Policy

 First published: 14 August 2026

Insurance is a subject where accuracy matters, since figures, coverage rules, and regulations change and readers rely on this information to make real decisions. Shield and Strategy is committed to correcting errors openly and keeping content current, rather than quietly editing pages without explanation. This page describes how that process works.

Why Articles Get Updated

Articles on this site are updated for several reasons:

• Factual corrections — a figure, date, regulatory reference, or coverage detail was inaccurate and needs to be fixed.
• Currency updates — premium figures, regulatory bodies, or market conditions referenced in an article have changed since publication and the content is revised to stay accurate.
• Clarity improvements — language is revised to make an explanation clearer, without changing the substance of the information.
• New information — a coverage rule, regulation, or market development has emerged that meaningfully adds to or changes an earlier article.

How We Date Our Content

Every article and every core page on this site displays two dates at the top:

• First published — the date the content originally appeared on the site.
• Last updated — the date of the most recent substantive revision.

This dual-dating system exists so readers always know both how long a topic has been covered and how current the information in front of them actually is. An article with a recent "Last updated" date has been reviewed and revised more recently than its original publication date suggests.

Types of Corrections

Minor corrections. Typographical errors, broken links, formatting issues, and similarly small fixes are corrected directly without a separate notice, since they do not affect the substance or accuracy of the article's claims.

Substantive corrections. Where a factual error affects the meaning, accuracy, or reliability of an article — an incorrect statistic, a misattributed source, a wrong regulatory reference, or a mischaracterized coverage detail — the article text is corrected, and the "Last updated" date is revised to reflect the change. Significant corrections may include a brief editorial note within the article itself, describing what was corrected and when.

Content updates. Where regulations, premiums, or market conditions referenced in an article change over time, the article is revised to reflect current information, and the "Last updated" date is updated accordingly. Historical figures are clearly dated so readers can distinguish current information from information that was accurate only at the time of original publication.

How to Report a Possible Error

Readers who identify a possible error, an outdated figure, or a broken link are strongly encouraged to report it. The fastest way to do so is through the Contact page. Please include:

• The title and, where possible, the URL of the article in question.
• The specific claim, figure, or detail you believe is incorrect or outdated.
• Where possible, a source supporting the correction, so it can be verified quickly.

Every correction request is reviewed against original sources before any change is made, consistent with the verification standards described in our Editorial Policy.

Our Commitment

Shield and Strategy treats corrections as a routine and expected part of responsible publishing, not as a failure to be minimized or hidden. A publication that never issues corrections is not necessarily more accurate; it may simply be less willing to acknowledge error. Readers can expect this site to correct itself honestly, promptly, and without defensiveness whenever a genuine error is identified.
