Research Standard

How Blue Beacon Research writes an assessment, and how you can check each point on the page itself. This standard applies to the assessments listed on the Assessments page.

1. Sources are linked. Each assessment lists the reports and official pages it rests on, with the publisher and the publication time in UTC.
2. Two times are shown. Every assessment shows the event time and the assessed time, both in UTC.
3. One report is counted as one report. When several outlets carry the same wire story, the assessment says it is one report, not several.
4. What a source says is kept apart from our reading. Statements that rest on an anonymous source or a single source are marked, and the section called What is uncertain says what was not independently verified.
5. Exposure is a reading, not a forecast. The Exposure section names the market and the route, and says in words that it is BBR's reading of the mechanism and not a price forecast.
6. We say what we did not check. Where BBR has not checked a primary data set directly, the assessment says so.
7. No position advice. Assessments do not recommend a position, a size, or an entry or exit.
8. Corrections are logged. When a published statement is wrong, we fix it and record the date, what was wrong and what changed on the Corrections page.

Method and limits: How it works. Report an error: Corrections.

Informational research, not investment advice. Sources and dates are shown on each item.
