How the content on this site is made, and how to challenge it.

Sourcing

• We prefer primary sources: Gazette notifications and orders, Ministry and BEE publications, DISCOM documents, regulator orders, standards bodies, court or authority decisions, manufacturer specifications, lender documents, or directly obtained quotations.
• Every material policy or technical claim carries its source, and the sources index grades each one A–D for confidence with its access date.
• We record publication date, effective date, access date, and jurisdiction separately — a rule can be published, not yet in force, and about somewhere else, all at once.
• We distinguish in-force, proposed, superseded, operational guidance, and unverified material.

Model-derived numbers

• Values produced by our models — opportunity scores, imputed charger power, screening verdicts — are labelled as computed, with the model version and its limitations published, including failed validation. The Opportunity Index's methodology page states plainly that its only consumption backtest failed.
• Deterministic calculations are never silently altered by AI. AI may explain a computed result; it does not change it.
• Generative AI is not a factual source. AI-assisted drafts require source verification and human responsibility before publication.

Commercial separation

• We never accept payment to change a technical conclusion, ranking, or recommendation.
• Sponsored or partner content, if it ever appears, will be disclosed before the content begins. None exists today.
• The independence policy covers commissions and conflicts.

Review and corrections

• Tariff and incentive content is reviewed monthly or when an order changes it; policy pages quarterly and on events; evergreen explainers annually.
• Corrections are accepted from anyone through the report-an-error page and by email. Material corrections are published, not quietly patched.
• Purchased reports keep their original model version. A later model change does not retroactively alter a report you bought; a rerun is labelled as a new version.
