1. What We Publish
- Commodity hubs — living reference pages that connect price action to equities, industries, and second-order impact.
- Signal Reports — time-sensitive notes explaining why a move matters now.
- Forecast and scenario surfaces — probabilistic tools that show ranges, disagreement, and model spread rather than certainty.
2. How a Typical Page Is Built
- Market context: identify the commodity move, disruption, or structural theme worth publishing.
- Source collection: pull relevant pricing, filings, macro references, and domain-specific reports.
- Transmission mapping: trace which sectors, companies, and supply chains are affected first, second, and third.
- Editorial pass: convert the analysis into a page that distinguishes observed facts, estimates, and scenario assumptions.
- QA and labels: confirm proxy-vs-direct pricing labels, timestamps, and caveats before publication.
3. Research Standards
- We prefer primary or high-signal sources over recycled commentary.
- When a statement is inferential or model-based, we present it as an estimate, not a certainty.
- If a price feed is unreliable, rollover-distorted, or proxy-limited, we prefer suppressed values over fake precision.
- We separate automated data refreshes from editorial publication dates so readers can judge freshness correctly.
4. Review Priorities
Not every surface receives the same review intensity at the same moment. Our highest-priority review targets are:
- high-traffic commodity hubs
- newly published Signal Reports
- monetized or conversion-oriented pages
- pages tied to active supply disruptions or large market moves
5. Forecast and Scenario Content
Forecast surfaces are probabilistic. CommodityNode shows consensus ranges, comparison models, and agreement/disagreement rather than pretending a single path is certain. Forecasts are tools for context, not promises about market outcomes.
Scenario pages are also conditional by design. They model potential outcomes under stated assumptions and should be read as structured stress tests rather than predictions.
6. Corrections Policy
If a factual, numerical, or labeling error is reported, we review it as quickly as possible. Material fixes are made on the affected page once verified. To report an error, use contact@commoditynode.com or the contact form and include the page URL, the disputed value, and your source if possible.
7. Commercial Separation
Advertising and subscriptions support the publisher, but they do not determine which commodities, sectors, or companies receive coverage. CommodityNode does not accept payment for favorable coverage.
