Editorial policy

Editorial policy for source-backed crypto risk content.

How RisqScan decides what to publish, what to cite, what to avoid and how to keep crypto exchange risk pages useful without turning them into recommendations.

Official sources first No paid rankings Corrections welcome

Editorial principles

How RisqScan avoids becoming another thin crypto comparison page.

01 Evidence before opinion

Every important risk statement should point back to visible public evidence or be framed as a question to verify.

Why it matters

A young domain builds trust by showing how conclusions are limited, sourced and reviewable.

02 No pay-to-rank claims

RisqScan does not sell rankings, endorsements or recommendation labels for exchanges, wallets or fintech products.

Why it matters

The resource must stay useful even before monetization, otherwise every page looks like a hidden pitch.

03 Caveats stay visible

Identity-review triggers, jurisdiction limits, custody constraints and refund rules should not be hidden behind broad marketing language.

Why it matters

Visible caveats protect users and make content safer for SEO, AI answer engines and compliance review.

04 Current sources beat old summaries

When official pages change, older summaries should be reviewed before they are reused in new content.

Why it matters

Crypto terms and policies can change quickly; stale content creates trust and accuracy risk.

05 Educational framing only

Pages explain review signals, source trails and uncertainty. They do not tell users what exchange to use.

Why it matters

This keeps RisqScan useful as a research layer rather than a recommendation engine.

06 Corrections are part of the system

If a source changes or a page overstates a claim, the page should be corrected rather than defended.

Why it matters

A clear correction posture is a credibility signal for users, crawlers and future partners.

Incubation stance

Useful resource first, commercial CTA later.

While the domain is young, RisqScan is focused on useful pages, transparent source standards and crawlable topical authority. Direct outbound sales and paid indexing pushes wait until the content batch is complete.

What stays blocked for now

  • No cold sales outreach from a one-day domain.
  • No embedded contact form until backend, spam and privacy decisions are approved.
  • No affiliate links or paid ranking claims.
  • No LinkBot / IndexNow batch until the current page set is ready.

FAQ

Short answers for source quality and trust.

Does RisqScan accept paid placements or rankings?

No. RisqScan pages are built around visible source checks and educational risk signals, not paid placement, rankings or endorsements.

What counts as a strong source?

Strong sources include current official terms, policies, help-center pages, fee tables, status pages and user-facing product copy that can be checked directly.

What happens when sources change?

A changed source should trigger a content review. Older summaries should be updated, qualified or removed if they no longer match the current official source trail.
