Editorial Standards

How Progress Is Verified

A story appears in Signs of Progress only when the change it describes can be shown, not just announced. Before publication, each story requires:

  1. Identifiable evidence: documents, data or records that others can check.
  2. Independent source assessment: claims are tested against sources beyond those making them.
  3. Demonstrable outcomes: results that have happened, not commitments or forecasts.
  4. Appropriate context and limitations: what the evidence shows, and what it does not.
  5. Editorial review before publication.

Not every submission will be published. Stories that cannot be verified are not included.
