Corrections & right to respond

Visible correction discipline.

VetAI Trust expects vendors to support their claims with evidence. The publication should hold itself to the same standard: factual errors should be correctable, new evidence should be reviewable, and important updates should not disappear into silent rewrites.

Update categories

Not every update means the same thing.

The site should distinguish whether a publication changed because of a simple factual fix, a bigger evidence update or a methodological revision affecting the underlying conclusion.

Factual correction

Concrete error fixed

A statement, citation, figure, label or date was wrong and is corrected without changing the overall method.

Clarification

Context made clearer

Language is clarified to better reflect the existing evidence or scope without changing the core finding.

Additional evidence

New evidence added

New studies, validations or product disclosures are incorporated into the record and may affect confidence or framing.

Methodological revision

Evaluation basis changed

The assessment method, benchmark interpretation or comparison logic changed in a way that can alter the conclusion.

Editorial update

Status changed over time

New evidence, new testing or a newly discovered limitation changed the public status of a claim, paper or benchmark result.

Review process

How a correction request moves.

Receive the report

VetAI Trust logs the issue, the affected page or result, and the evidence supplied.

Check the basis

The publication team reviews whether the report is factual, evidentiary, methodological or primarily argumentative.

Seek supporting material

Additional source material may be requested from the reporter, a vendor or a cited source where needed.

Decide the update type

The site distinguishes between correction, clarification, added evidence, revision or no change.

Publish visibly

Material updates should preserve a visible change history rather than silently rewriting the record.

Unfavorable findings are not grounds for deletion by themselves. What matters is whether the published material is accurate, fairly framed and methodologically supportable.

Contact routes

Where to send a challenge.

Use the public contact route and label the subject clearly so the report can be triaged without ambiguity.
