Editorial standards
How Vimista researches, writes, checks and corrects its articles, so you can judge how far to trust what you read.

Finance content can change how people spend and save, so we hold it to a stricter standard than most explainers. These are the rules every article follows.
Sources
- We prefer primary records: central banks, regulators, ministries, parliament reports, court judgments, company and exchange filings, and international bodies such as the IMF, World Bank and BIS.
- Reputable secondary reporting is used for context or attributed claims, and is never presented as an official finding.
- We do not cite Wikipedia, anonymous blogs or AI-generated summaries.
- Every article ends with a numbered source list, and we record the date each source was retrieved.
Facts and numbers
- Every material factual or causal claim carries an inline citation that maps to the source list.
- We replace approximate figures with sourced values, including the date, unit and scope. If a figure cannot be verified, we omit it.
- If credible sources disagree, we explain the disagreement instead of picking an unsupported answer.
- We separate a documented sequence of events from an interpretation of why it happened.
Fairness
- We report public-record facts only. We do not assign motive, intent or blame.
- We name institutions and roles, not individuals.
- Where legal proceedings are on the public record, we state only what a court or regulator has formally found, and cite the order.
- Company names appear only to discuss public-record events, for educational purposes.
India and the reader
- Articles are written for an Indian beginner. For events elsewhere, we explain the event in its own setting first, then say what it means for an Indian reader.
- We describe an effect on India only when the evidence supports the connection.
