US Economy Brief uses a policy-briefing workflow that separates the public state read from primary-source re-checks, timing control, and correction handling.
What gets checked before a policy page is treated as durable
- Policy briefings are expected to show a visible byline, updated date, and source links to primary material where possible.
- Timeline-sensitive claims should be dated and anchored to the relevant release or process step.
- Commercial relationships, if any, should remain clearly separate from analysis and route design.
Source order
- Statutes, agency releases, public notices, schedules, and original source documents come first.
- Secondary reporting is context only after the official record is read.
- If official guidance is partial or late, the page should keep that uncertainty visible instead of pretending the record is complete.
What readers should see on published policy pages
- What changed
- Who is affected
- When it matters
- What remains uncertain
- Source links and a visible correction path when the record moves
What gets rechecked when facts move
We revisit source freshness, deadline language, route targets, who-is-affected framing, and any conclusion that became too certain after the official record changed.
Where ownership lives
Use Author / Team for named ownership and Editorial Policy for the site-wide rules on source hierarchy, uncertainty, and commercial separation.
