Correction Policy
AsbestosTrusts.org is committed to publishing only verifiable, source-cited data. When errors are identified — whether by users, researchers, or our own reconciliation process — we correct them promptly and document the change.
Our Correction Process
1. Submission. Anyone may submit a correction using the form below. We require a primary source citation — a filed court document, trust annual report, or official trust notice. Corrections without a verifiable source will not be applied.
2. Review. Submitted corrections are reviewed against the cited source within 7 days. If the source confirms the error, the database is updated immediately.
3. Documentation. Every correction is logged in the changes array of our trust-figures.json data file with the date, field changed, old value, new value, and source citation. This creates a permanent, machine-readable audit trail.
4. Transparency. Significant corrections (those affecting aggregate figures by more than 1%) are also noted in the News feed.
