Corrections Policy
How MAP handles errors — promptly, transparently, and on the record.
MAP is committed to accuracy. When we make a factual error — in a context record, a ledger record, or published coverage — we correct it promptly and transparently. The original error is noted, not erased.
Report an error
Errors can be reported via the contact form. Include the specific URL, the error, and supporting evidence. We aim to review reports within 5 business days; this is a target, not a guarantee.
Editorial review
MAP’s founder assesses the reported error. If confirmed, a correction is issued. If disputed, the reasoning is documented.
Ledger update
If a context record or ledger entry contains an error, MAP writes a new ledger entry that notes the correction; the original entry is not deleted. Corrections are handled manually, and the ledger does not yet link a correction to the entry it corrects.
Notification
The reporter is notified of the outcome. If a publisher’s context record is corrected as a result, the publisher is also notified.
Publishers who believe their MAP Verified™ context record is in error may submit a formal appeal. Appeals must include specific evidence that the record is in error and must be submitted within 90 days of the original context record.
