How articles on Dalil are researched, sourced, fact-checked, updated, and corrected. The standards below apply to every piece in /articles/ and to the explanatory prose on sector and stock pages.
Every article on Dalil is written by a single person, Kenta Suzuki, the founder and sole operator of the project. There is no contributor pool, no syndicated content, and no ghostwriting. Author attribution on each article is honest: if a piece carries the byline, that one person researched, drafted, and edited it.
The author is not a licensed financial advisor, broker, or registered investment adviser in Morocco or any other jurisdiction. The background that shapes the writing is software systems and data engineering, with several years spent building and operating financial-data tooling in production. Articles draw on first-hand reading of AMMC filings, Bank Al-Maghrib reports, HCP statistics, and the underlying primary documents from Moroccan and international institutions — not on rephrasing other publishers' coverage.

Articles follow a declared priority order when citing facts. The same hierarchy used for dashboard data on the Methodology page applies to article research, with the addition of a separate tier for institutional reporting.
Articles do not cite social-media posts, anonymous blogs, AI-summarised content, or any source whose publisher cannot be identified. Where a number appears in an article, the reader should be able to trace it to its institutional origin via the Sources block at the bottom of the piece.
Before publication, every article is checked against the following:
When an article makes a directional or qualitative claim that goes beyond what a single source asserts (for example, "subsidy spending peaked at over 6% of GDP"), the article identifies the institution making that assessment by name (in this case, IMF Article IV reporting) so the reader can trace the underlying judgement.
Articles on Dalil are not "set and forget" content. Each piece carries two visible dates in its byline: published and updated. Both are real, both are bumped only when the article is materially edited (not for trivial typo fixes).
The update cadence has three triggers:
The article header always shows the latest "Updated" date. The structured-data dateModified field on every article carries the same value, machine-readable for search engines and AI assistants.
Article research draws on primary documents and institutional sources read directly. AI assistants may be used as a writing aid for grammar, structure suggestion, and language polishing, but every factual claim, number, and source citation is verified by the author against the original publication before it is committed to the page. Articles are not ghostwritten by language models, and AI is never used as a primary research tool to fabricate figures or invent sources.
If an article uses AI for any role beyond style editing (for example, summarising a long primary document), that use is the author's responsibility to verify. Any factual error that originates from an AI suggestion is treated identically to any other editorial error: corrected on the page, with the article's update date bumped.
Dalil is operated independently. The author has no employment, consulting, or contractual relationship with any Moroccan listed company, broker, asset manager, or regulator. No company featured in an article (Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Centrale Populaire, Maroc Telecom, OCP, or any other listed issuer) compensates the project for coverage, placement, or framing. Stock-page coverage on Dalil is decided by editorial judgement about reader interest, not by commercial relationship.
Advertising on the platform, where present, is served programmatically through Google AdSense. Ad slots are not editorially curated, no advertiser approves placement next to specific content, and no advertiser has any role in topic selection, source choice, or framing. Editorial coverage is independent of advertising relationships.
The author may at times hold personal positions in Moroccan or international listed securities. Where any such position could materially shape the framing of an article, the position is disclosed inline within that article. As of the most recent editorial review, no inline-disclosed personal holdings exist on any current article.
If you find a factual error in any article, the contact path is [email protected] with the article URL, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and (where possible) a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source supporting the correction.
Error reports are handled in three stages:
dateModified field is bumped, and the byline "Updated" date is changed accordingly. Significant factual corrections are noted in a short correction line at the foot of the article.Trivial fixes (typos, broken links, formatting inconsistencies) are corrected without a date bump or correction note.
