Editorial policy

Editorial principle

Content is structured to describe systems, not to guide decisions.

Each page isolates a specific dimension of the physical gold market and maintains strict separation between concepts.

Definition discipline

Terms are defined once and used consistently across the site.

Definitions are not adapted to context, narrative, or example.

Separation of roles

The site is organised into distinct functional layers.

Fundamentals define pricing and structure. Switzerland describes operational processes. Integrity explains verification and acceptance.

Source handling

References to institutions and standards are descriptive.

Sources anchor terminology and context but do not validate outcomes.

Non-advisory position

The site does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice.

It does not recommend products, providers, or actions.

Update discipline

Changes are applied only when they affect structure, definitions, or external references.

Minor editorial revisions are not logged.

Consistency requirement

Internal consistency takes precedence over completeness.

Content is not expanded to cover all possible scenarios.

Interpretation boundary

Differences in interpretation may arise across contexts.

This site provides a framework but does not resolve them.
