The rules every episode is held to.

Sourcing

• Every episode is built from primary sources — filings, dockets, official reports, peer-reviewed literature, or datasets we generate ourselves — not from other creators' coverage.
• Claims of fact must be traceable to a citable source. Where the record is ambiguous or incomplete, the episode says so.
• When we run our own numbers — benchmarks, estimates, analyses — we describe the methodology so it can be checked.

Accuracy and corrections

• Every episode is reviewed by an editor before publication.
• When we get something wrong, we correct it visibly — in a pinned comment and the video description — rather than quietly.
• Corrections and disputes can be sent to the studio inbox; we read all of them.

What we don't publish

• Advice. Our channels cover finance, medicine, and law as journalism and explanation. Nothing we publish is financial, medical, or legal advice.
• Outrage for its own sake. Stories about failure, fraud, and harm are told from the record, with restraint, and end on the people affected — not on spectacle.
• Undisclosed paid coverage. If a piece of content is sponsored, it is labeled. Coverage is never for sale.

Production transparency

• We use modern production tools — animation, data visualization, and synthetic narration — under human editorial direction, and we follow platform disclosure requirements for synthetic media.
• A person chooses every story, shapes every argument, and reviews every episode before it publishes. No video ships without human sign-off.
• Our channels are presenter-less by design: no host, no talking head, no re-enactment passed off as record.

Independence

• Vantedge Vault is independently owned. No outside party directs our coverage or sees episodes before publication.
