Editorial Standards
How Wall Street Score creates, sources, checks and maintains public research. Last updated October 26, 2026.
Our content mission
Wall Street Score publishes educational financial research to help individual investors understand and compare stocks. Scores and articles are research starting points, not buy or sell recommendations.
Data sources
Financial figures come from third-party financial data providers and publicly available company filings, including financial statements, market prices, ownership filings and transaction records. Source data can be delayed or corrected.
Source hierarchy and verification
When a material data point appears inconsistent, the platform is designed to favor company filings and other primary disclosures for verification where practical. Corporate actions, share-basis changes, restatements and unusual units can require additional review before a record is treated as reliable.
Automation and AI
Automated systems may assist with data processing, drafting, summarization and presentation. Financial figures shown on research pages come from stored market and company data rather than being invented by a language model. Automation can support the research workflow, but automated output by itself is not sufficient for public editorial publication.
Public editorial publication gate
A stock can remain searchable inside the Wall Street Score research product without being published as crawler-facing editorial content. During the current AdSense pilot, only ten selected companies are promoted into the public stock directory and sitemap. Those pilot pages must pass source and financial data-quality checks and have documented source-specific publisher curation. Other records—including other curated records—remain noindex and outside the public stock sitemap during the test. No alternate stock content is served to Google: the AdSense-specific robots policy simply limits its advertising crawlers to the same ten pilot stock paths.
Accuracy and quality checks
The platform applies validation checks to financial inputs and score calculations. Public stock pages fail closed when important research inputs are incomplete, source identity is unresolved, or documented publisher curation is absent. A passing publication gate does not mean every number or sentence was independently certified.
Updates and corrections
Content and scores are updated as new financial data arrives or errors are identified. Material corrections are applied to the affected page or dataset and data freshness is shown where supported.
Verification and corrections — October 1, 2026
A completed scan is not independent certification. AAPL FY2025 revenue of $416.161 billion, for the year ended September 27, 2025, was checked against the SEC annual report and Stock Analysis, matching the annual period and USD units. Its $0.27-per-share August 13, 2026 dividend payment was checked against Apple Investor Relations and YCharts; this verifies one payment, not future income. DOYU was placed under source review after an annual reporting period dated December 31, 2026 was found during the October 1 audit, and excluded from public rankings. No guessed financial replacement was made. These checks cover named facts only, not all company metrics or events. Corporate news requires checking whether a transaction is proposed or completed; buyback authorization differs from purchases, special dividends are not recurring yield, and 13F holdings describe a past quarter.
How to report an error
Readers can use the contact page or feedback tools to report a suspected error. Including the ticker, page URL, affected metric and a supporting filing or source helps the issue be reviewed more efficiently.
Not individualized advice
All content is educational and informational. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Readers should verify material information against company filings and use qualified professional advice when appropriate.
