Editorial Policy

US Economy Brief publishes policy briefings that surface the change, the affected groups, the timeline, and the unresolved uncertainty before commentary.

US Economy Brief Editorial Team is the primary public byline. Briefings are drafted with AI assistance and published under that byline. We do not claim a separate human review layer — see Author / Team for what the byline does and does not mean.

What Every Policy Briefing Should Make Visible

  • The policy action, agency release, deadline, vote, or federal process that actually moved
  • The affected group or operating audience rather than a broad abstract headline
  • The implementation or enforcement timing that changes what a reader should do next
  • The unresolved uncertainty that keeps a page from pretending the answer is fully settled

Source Hierarchy

  • Primary statutes, agency releases, official schedules, public notices, and original source documents come first
  • Coverage should prefer downstream impact over partisan heat or prediction theater
  • If a page depends on unsettled reporting or incomplete official guidance, that boundary should be stated plainly

Update And Correction Rules

  • Timing-sensitive policy pages should carry visible dates and update paths
  • If a factual change materially alters who is affected or what the timeline means, the update should be visible on-page
  • Corrections should close broken routes, stale sourcing, and misleading certainty claims rather than hiding them behind silent edits

Automation Boundary

Automation can assist with structure or summarization, but policy framing, attribution, and economic interpretation are expected to be reviewed before publication.

Commercial Separation

Advertising, sponsorships, and commercial questions stay separate from editorial judgments about who is affected, what still looks uncertain, and which route belongs on the public surface.
