Editorial policy

Honest Sports Compass aims to make sporting ideas clear without overstating what can be known. Readers should be able to tell explanation from opinion and editorial work from commercial material.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against relevant, reliable material before publication and aim to explain terms in context. Rules can differ between sports, competitions and versions of a game; where that matters, we identify the scope of an explanation instead of presenting it as universal. We do not claim first-hand testing or research unless an article explicitly describes it.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for reader value and fit with our subject, not to secure a product mention or partner placement. Commercial relationships do not buy favourable coverage, and editorial coverage is not a substitute for professional advice.

Corrections

If a reader spots a factual error or unclear passage, they can contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making significant changes clear to readers where appropriate.

Partners and illustrations

Sponsored or partner material is identified plainly so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where relevant, they are labelled and are not presented as documentary evidence.
