Ethics & Methodology
Editorial Independence
The MUGEN is published by One Ace SAS. Our editorial decisions are made independently of any advertiser, sponsor, or external stakeholder. No coverage is exchanged for payment, access, or partnership. When sponsored content is introduced in future phases, it will be clearly labeled as such.
Sourcing & Fact-Checking
Every factual claim in our reporting is traced to a primary source or corroborated by at least two independent sources. Financial data comes from public filings, official announcements, or is clearly marked as an estimate. Statistics require their original source — we do not relay secondhand reporting without attribution. All source URLs are listed at the bottom of each article and are verified before publication.
Corrections Policy
We take errors seriously. If you identify a factual inaccuracy, a broken source link, or a misleading framing in any of our articles, please contact us at hello@themugen.net. We will investigate promptly and, if warranted, publish a correction with a clear note indicating what was changed and when. Corrections are never silent — the original error and the fix are both visible to readers.
AI Assistance Disclosure
The MUGEN uses AI-assisted tools in its editorial process, including research, drafting, and translation. All AI-generated content is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by human editors before publication. No article is published without human editorial oversight. AI tools are never used to fabricate sources, invent data, or generate unsupported claims.
Sponsored Content Policy
As of Phase 1, The MUGEN does not accept sponsored content. When sponsorship is introduced in future phases, all sponsored articles, briefs, or features will carry a visible disclosure label. Sponsored content will be subject to the same fact-checking standards as editorial content. Sponsors will not have editorial approval or veto power over the content.
