This page documents how BlackPearlBitcoin research is sourced, analyzed, reviewed, fact-checked, and corrected. We publish it so readers can hold us to it. Our standing rule: nothing publishes without a citation trail, a stated data window, an inline position disclosure, and a plain “research, not advice” note.
1. Sourcing — primary first
We start from primary sources — on-chain datasets, protocol documentation and code, regulatory filings, audited financials, and exchange and derivatives data — rather than from another article repeating a figure. Where we rely on a third party for data, we name it.
2. Analysis — windows, methods, limits
Every quantitative claim states its data window, its method, and its limitations. We separate explicitly what the data shows, what we infer from it, and what is opinion. Forward-looking scenarios are framed as ranges with stated assumptions, never as certainties or price targets.
3. Independence & the editorial firewall
We accept no payment, equity, tokens, or other consideration for coverage, framing, or placement. Contributors maintain a firewall between their writing and any personal positions; material holdings relevant to a piece are disclosed inline, and our conflict rules govern when a contributor steps back from a story entirely.
4. Review
A draft is checked by a second set of eyes. Any protocol or smart-contract claim is verified against documentation and code before publication.
5. Fact-check
Numbers, dates, and quotations are traced back to their primary source — not to an article repeating them. Unverifiable claims are qualified or left out.
6. Dated updates & corrections
We date every piece and show an “as of” or “updated” date when facts change. Substantive corrections are made openly and logged, dated, at corrections.
What we will never do
- Publish under anonymous or invented names, or assert credentials that aren’t true.
- Take payment, equity, or tokens for coverage, framing, or placement.
- Publish AI-generated article prose or wire-copy rewrites as research.
- Present research as investment advice, or state forecasts as certainties.
- Put our research byline on thin SEO or affiliate content.
- Strip attribution from, or mis-state, our llms.txt license.
- Let a contributor cover an asset they hold without disclosure.
Research and analysis for information only — not investment advice. Crypto is volatile and high-risk.
