Primary sources come first
When we write about tax rules, we check IRS publications directly. When we cover retirement accounts, we verify contribution limits against the IRS and Department of Labor. When we discuss credit scores, we reference FICO and VantageScore methodology documentation. When we compare financial products, we pull rates and terms from the institutions themselves.
We never cite another blog as a primary source for a factual claim. If a number matters to the reader, it comes from the entity that sets or tracks that number.
How we verify facts
Every guide goes through a three-step verification process before publication:
- Source check. Every statistic, rate, eligibility rule, and regulatory detail is traced back to its primary source. We link to that source in the article.
- Currency check. We confirm that rates, limits, and rules reflect the current year. We never hard-code a specific month or year in body copy to avoid stale claims.
- Scenario check. We walk through the scenarios described in each guide to verify the math and logic hold up under realistic conditions.
How we keep content current
Financial information changes frequently. Interest rates move, contribution limits adjust annually, and regulatory rules shift. Our update process works like this:
- Priority guides (pillar pages and high-traffic posts) are reviewed on a 30-day cadence.
- Every published guide shows a “Last reviewed” date near the byline.
- When we update a guide, we change the content and the review date. We do not bump dates without making genuine improvements.
Corrections policy
If we publish an error, we fix it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article. If you spot an inaccuracy, email us at hello@pegazus.finance with the URL and the specific claim. We take corrections seriously because our credibility depends on accuracy.
What we do not do
We do not provide personalized financial advice. We do not manage money, sell financial products, or act as a licensed financial advisor. Our guides are educational resources meant to help readers make informed decisions. For advice specific to your situation, consult a qualified financial professional.
