About & methodology

FinancialDeepDive explains the forces moving the global economy — oil and energy, inflation, interest rates, world events and artificial intelligence — in plain English.

How our articles are made

We are open about this: our articles are researched and drafted with AI. We use AI because it lets a small, independent publication cover fast-moving economic stories in depth. We also know AI can be confidently wrong, so we build the process around that.

• Primary sources first. Figures and forecasts come from the organisations that publish them — the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the International Energy Agency (IEA), OPEC, the IMF, central banks and national statistics offices — and we link to them in the article.
• Dates on everything. Every article shows when it was published or last updated. Economic data goes stale quickly, so check the date and the linked source before relying on a number.
• No predictions dressed up as facts. When we discuss forecasts, we say whose forecast it is and what it assumes.
• Corrections. If you find an error, tell us. We fix mistakes and update the article date.

What we are not

FinancialDeepDive is an educational publication. We are not financial advisors, and nothing here is investment, tax or legal advice. We do not recommend buying or selling any security. See our disclaimer.

Independence

We are not owned by, or paid to promote, any bank, broker or fund. The site is funded by advertising, which is clearly marked and never influences what we write.
