Corrections

The Bearing is researched and drafted by AI. That makes a corrections policy more important here, not less.

Every article goes through an automated fact-checking pass before it publishes. Specific claims - dates, figures, named events - get checked against real evidence. A claim that holds up gets a citation. A claim that doesn't gets corrected. Anything that can't be confirmed either way is held back for a person to look at before it goes anywhere. You can read exactly how that works on How The Bearing Is Made.

That process is genuinely good. It is not perfect. AI can be wrong, and so can I.

If you think something here is wrong

Tell me. A fact, a figure, a framing, or something significant left out — all of it is worth hearing about. The fastest way to reach me is LinkedIn, or see the contact page.

What happens then

• Factual errors get corrected, with a dated note at the bottom of the article saying what changed. The correction stays visible.
• Framing and emphasis are different from factual errors. If I think a piece was fair, I'll say so and explain why, rather than quietly rewriting it. If I think you're right, I'll say that too.
• Typos and formatting get fixed without a note.
• Substantial rewrites — if a piece turns out to be wrong in a way that changes its conclusion, the article says so at the top rather than being deleted.

A publication that never corrects anything is either very lucky or not looking very hard. I'd rather be told I'm wrong than be wrong quietly.
