Scale Pakistan

Editorial Standards

How we report, how we keep paid content separate, and how we correct mistakes.

Original reporting

Every story is built on original reporting: interviews, documents, visits and data. We quote people by name, title and company, and we confirm spellings, figures and photo permissions with sources before publishing.

Use of AI tools

We may use AI tools to help with research structure, transcription and copy editing. Every published piece is reported, written and checked by our editors. We do not publish unreviewed machine generated articles.

Editorial independence

Our editorial series, including The City Files, Founder Fridays, the Funding Tracker and Made Here, are never for sale. No company can pay for coverage, review a story before publication, or buy changes to published work.

Paid content is always labeled

We offer directory listings, sponsored features and newsletter sponsorships. Every paid item carries a clear Sponsored or Premium label, and sponsored links are marked as such. Paid placements never influence editorial coverage.

Accuracy and corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and add a note explaining what changed. To report an error, email editor@scalepakistan.pk with the story link and the correction.

Numbers we publish

We publish audience figures, funding amounts and other data only when we can verify them, and we name the source of every figure.

Conflicts of interest

Contributors disclose any financial or personal relationship with a company they write about. Where a relationship exists, we say so in the story or assign it to someone else.
