Corrections & Errata Policy

Published: March 2026 • Last Reviewed: September 14, 2026

At VelocityVerify, we hold our data and editorial reporting to rigorous scientific standards. When factual errors, calculation discrepancies, or hardware specification inaccuracies occur, our policy is to correct them immediately, transparently, and publicly.

1. How We Handle Corrections

We classify corrections into three distinct categories based on severity and impact on the reader:

• Substantive Data or Factual Corrections: If a test methodology, hardware benchmark figure, or technical assertion is found to be inaccurate, we correct the text and append a prominent Correction Notice at the top or bottom of the article detailing what was originally published, what was updated, and the date of correction.
• Specification or Pricing Updates: When router firmware updates alter benchmark results or ISP tiers change pricing, we update the data and log the revision in the article's Update History.
• Typographical & Minor Clarifications: Minor spelling, grammatical, or formatting improvements that do not alter the technical meaning are corrected directly without a formal notice.

2. Retesting and Errata Verification

If a manufacturer or ISP claims our published test results diverge from their internal data, we follow a standardized verification protocol:

1. We request the manufacturer's exact testing topology, firmware release, and packet capture logs.
2. The maintainers attempt to reproduce the issue using the published site and documented test conditions.
3. If our original measurement contained an environmental flaw or firmware anomaly, we issue an immediate correction and re-publish the updated findings alongside a transparent explanation.
4. If our independent measurements remain valid, we uphold our findings and may publish the manufacturer's response as a supplemental perspective.

3. Public Errata Log Format

All substantive corrections include a standardized record containing:

• Date & Timestamp: The exact date when the correction was committed and deployed.
• Original Statement: A concise summary of the erroneous assertion or data point.
• Correction: The verified accurate information with supporting data sources or retest links.
• Accountable Editor: The lead technical editor who verified and authorized the change.
