Corrections & Errata Policy
dontbeac.app is committed to maintaining complete accuracy across all published articles, benchmark datasets, and technical documentation. When an error occurs, our policy is to correct it swiftly, transparently, and unreservedly.
1. Definition of Corrections
We distinguish between substantive factual corrections and routine maintenance:
- Substantive Corrections: Any inaccuracy in benchmark numbers, API pricing, technical specifications, model architecture descriptions, code snippets, or quotes from primary sources. When these occur, we update the article and append an explicit Correction Note detailing the previous error, the corrected information, and the timestamp of the update.
- Routine Clarifications & Updates: Minor typographical errors, grammatical polish, broken link remediation, or cosmetic formatting adjustments that do not alter the factual meaning of the article are corrected directly without requiring a formal errata banner.
2. How We Document Changes
For major technical articles and breaking news coverage:
- We include a visible
Last Updatedor revision log component indicating the exact date of the latest verified revision. - In our news articles, documented revisions are registered in structured schema (e.g.
dateModifiedand revision logs) so search engines and automated crawlers recognize verified updates rather than fabricated freshness signals.
3. How to Submit a Correction Request
We encourage readers, developers, and researchers to hold us accountable. If you identify a factual error, obsolete code syntax, or broken calculation:
Please email contact@dontbeac.app with:
- Subject:
Editorial Correction: [Article Title or URL] - Exact Location: The URL and the specific sentence or code block containing the error.
- Supporting Evidence: Direct links to official documentation, primary source papers, or reproducible command logs.
Our lead technical researcher reviews all correction submissions within 24 business hours.
4. Verification and Retractions
If an entire premise or test methodology of an article is found to be fundamentally flawed beyond repair by an errata note, the article will be formally updated with a prominent retraction banner explaining the findings, or permanently redirected with a documented 301 to an updated, verified analysis.
