Source classification

Official releases, regulatory and company filings are primary. Reputable reporting and market-derived observations are secondary. Meridian estimates and inferences are always labelled.

Confidence

Confirmed requires primary evidence or authoritative confirmations. High confidence uses multiple reliable sources. Developing reflects incomplete facts. Scenario is explicitly forward-looking.

Priority

Materiality, urgency, personal exposure and confidence determine ranking. Users see the factors—not an unexplained numeric score.

Clustering

Related developments are grouped under one strategic theme so updates add information instead of repeating the same conclusion.

Data freshness

Values retain source, timestamp, time zone and delivery state. Cached values remain visible when refreshes fail.

Corrections

Material source conflicts are surfaced in source drawers and data status. Historical saved items preserve their original snapshot.

Meridian supports executive decisions. It does not provide investment, legal or tax advice. Public demo content is illustrative and must not be treated as current fact.
