Purpose and responsibility
Finoro content should help a reader understand a borrowing decision. Misleading financial figures can affect a household budget. This page records the editorial standard for the project; it is not evidence that every article has received an independent professional review.
Research and fact checking
- Use official provider product pages, FAQs and terms for product disclosures.
- Use official regulators and legislation for regulatory explanations.
- Record product, customer group, review date and source URL.
- Check conflicts between headlines, calculators and FAQs.
- Label unknowns; do not fill gaps with invented offers or market averages.
Different numbers need different labels
| Provider figure | Attribute the source, date and customer restrictions. |
|---|---|
| Finoro arithmetic example | Show assumptions, formula and excluded charges. |
| User-input calculator | Explain the model and input units; results are not quotes. |
| Unconfirmed information | Identify uncertainty rather than presenting a confirmed offer. |
| Editorial score | Show individual points, reasons and source coverage. |
Review and correction standard
Change source-review dates only after checking the underlying information. A design edit does not establish a fresh source review. A substantiated correction should trigger checks of the affected profile, comparison table, rating and linked explanation together.
Material corrections should explain what changed on the affected page. No daily review cycle or response deadline is promised.
Send the URL and evidence to hello@finoro.co.za. See the correction checklist.
Original value and commercial separation
Paid placement must be recognisable and must not be presented as evidence for a rating. Provider descriptions should be accompanied by useful comparison work or explanation rather than copied as thin promotional content.
Do not publish invented testimonials, fake credentials, guaranteed approval claims or repeated landing pages with no additional purpose. Each page should serve its own user question.
