EB5Status Corrections Policy

How we acknowledge, publish, and log corrections to maintain institutional credibility

Our Commitment

EB5Status publishes data with institutional credibility. That credibility depends entirely on our willingness to acknowledge and correct errors.

We do not hide corrections. We do not quietly update numbers. We do not remove historical records. We publish corrections with the same prominence as the original data, log them publicly, and maintain full version history so that researchers can understand exactly what changed and when.

How to Report Errors

Use the form below or email data@eb5status.com

Response SLAs

  • Factual corrections (specific data point is wrong): 48-hour response
  • Methodology questions (uncertainty about calculation): 5 business days

We acknowledge receipt within one business day.

The Correction Process

  1. 1.Report Received — We log the date, contact information, and summary.
  2. 2.We Review and Verify — We examine source data, rerun calculations independently, verify citations.
  3. 3.If Confirmed, Correction Published — Correction notice includes original statement, corrected statement, impact assessment, affected pages, source of correction, and new version number.
  4. 4.Correction Logged Publicly — Added to the public correction log below. Permanent, searchable, linked from affected data pages.
  5. 5.Previous Versions Remain Accessible — Historical versions are never deleted or overwritten.

Public Correction Log

The correction log includes: date reported, date published, what was incorrect, what is correct, category (Factual Error / Methodology Clarification / Source Attribution / Scope Update), source of correction, impact, affected versions, and confidence assessment.

No corrections have been issued yet.

This log will be updated as corrections are published.

Types of Corrections

Factual Errors

A data point is incorrect. Resolution: correction published, affected versions incremented.

Methodology Updates

A calculation rested on a false assumption. Resolution: methodology version incremented, both old and new calculations documented.

Source Attribution Fixes

Wrong document cited. Resolution: citation corrected, version note published.

Scope Clarifications

Data was correct but applicability was unclear. Resolution: scope note published, pages updated.

How Corrections Affect Versioning

Dataset versions (eb5_datasets_v{YYYY}.{MM}.{seq}) increment when factual data is corrected or methodology requires recalculation.

Methodology versions (calculations_v{major}.{minor}) increment when formulas change (major) or parameters change (minor).
