Our editorial mission
Help readers understand the cryptocurrency and US stock markets with accurate data, clear writing and useful tools — and never overstate what anyone can know about the future. We aim to inform decisions, not to make them for you.
How content is produced: our AI & technology policy
We want to be straightforward about this, because many publishers are not. Market Capitalize uses software and artificial-intelligence tools as part of how it operates:
- Data. Live prices, charts and market statistics are gathered and assembled automatically from third-party providers. No human types these numbers in; they come directly from the sources named in our methodology.
- Drafting. We use AI tools to help research, structure and draft some explanatory and educational content.
- Human review. A human editor reviews material for accuracy, balance, clarity and compliance before it is published, and is accountable for it afterwards. Factual claims are checked against primary sources.
We do not claim that our content is "100% human-written," and we do not pretend that automation isn't involved. Equally, we do not publish unreviewed machine output. The honest description is: technology-assisted, human-edited, human-accountable. If that distinction matters to you, now you know exactly where we stand.
How a page is made
Every data surface and explainer passes through the same accountable pipeline:
| Stage | Who or what is responsible | What it guarantees |
|---|---|---|
| Data assembly | Automated, from named providers | No hand-typed prices; figures trace to a source |
| Drafting | Editorial team, AI-assisted | Structure and a clear first draft |
| Fact-check | Human editor | Claims verified against primary sources |
| Publication | Market Capitalize Staff | A named, accountable owner for the page |
| Correction | Editor, on report | Errors fixed and, when substantive, noted |
Bylines & identity
We will never invent journalists, fabricate biographies, or use stock photos to imply a newsroom larger than ours. Editorial work is published under a Market Capitalize Staff byline, reflecting that it is the product of our team and process rather than a single fictional persona. Genuine outside contributors are credited by name with their consent. You can read about the real people and roles behind the site on our team page.
Sourcing & accuracy
Four principles govern how we handle facts:
Attribute
Data is credited to its provider, with links to primary sources where practical.
Separate
We distinguish reported fact — a price, a filing — from our interpretation of it.
Label
Hypotheticals such as expected returns or "what if" scenarios are flagged as assumptions you choose, never forecasts.
Omit
When a live figure cannot be verified, we leave it out rather than guess. See our methodology.
Independence
Advertising and affiliate relationships never determine our coverage, rankings or data. Commercial content, if any, is clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial. Our full position is in our ethics policy and affiliate disclosure.
Financial content & reader safety
Because we write about money, we hold ourselves to a higher bar. We do not give personalised investment advice, promise returns, or tell readers to buy or sell specific assets. We include risk context and clear disclaimers on financial content, and we treat crypto and securities with the same caution. Our standing position is set out in our disclaimer.
Corrections
We fix mistakes promptly and transparently. If you find an error in our data or writing, please report it through our corrections policy. Substantive corrections are noted on the page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Market Capitalize content written by AI?
It is technology-assisted and human-edited. We use AI tools to help research and draft some explanatory content, but a human editor reviews every page for accuracy and is accountable for it. We never publish unreviewed machine output.
Do you use real journalists with bylines?
We publish under a Market Capitalize Staff byline rather than inventing individual personas. Genuine outside contributors are credited by name with their consent. See our team page.
How do you handle financial accuracy?
We attribute data to the providers in our methodology, separate fact from interpretation, label hypotheticals as assumptions, and omit any live figure we cannot verify rather than guessing.
