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 review all reports within 5 business days.
Editorial review
The MAP editorial team 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, a new ledger entry is written with the correction noted. The original entry is not deleted — both are visible.
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 contradicts the assessment and must be submitted within 90 days of the original context record.
