Data Sources, Methods & Disclaimer
FactsFigs.com builds its data stories in our own Visual Story Editor, working from publicly available data to structure, visualize, and present statistical insights. Every figure we publish is traceable to a named source that is public and already published, so you can open it and check. What we take responsibility for is provenance — that a dataset is real, correctly named, and faithfully read. We do not re-run the research behind it: publishing a figure is a claim that we have reported the source accurately, not that the source is beyond dispute.

Source standards
We work from publicly accessible websites, reports, research publications, and open data sources, using them strictly to identify statistical values, trends, and numerical indicators. Those figures are then assembled into a visual in our own editor. We cite these sources so readers can check the figures themselves; FactsFigs does not independently verify or certify third-party data.
No copied source content
We do not copy or reproduce original text content, full datasets, tables, charts, images, graphics, or proprietary material from third-party sources.
Partial statistical data
Only partial, non-exhaustive statistical data points are extracted for analysis and then independently restructured, interpreted, and explained.
Original visuals
Every visualization is built in our own Visual Story Editor — the chart engine, layouts, and styling are custom-designed and coded by our team for the FactsFigs platform.
Attribution
Every article includes a Data Reference or Sources section with links to websites, reports, or datasets that informed our analysis.
A note on AI
We do use AI as an assistant — to help gather and tidy source data, suggest a starting layout, prepare supporting assets, and speed up routine drafting work. It is a tool that helps us work faster, not a system that produces our visuals or data stories on its own.
The visuals themselves are created in our own Visual Story Editor, with a person choosing the data, the chart type, the framing, and the wording, and reviewing the result before anything is published or downloaded.
Educational disclaimer
While we strive for accuracy, data may change over time as sources update their reporting. FactsFigs.com does not guarantee absolute completeness or real-time accuracy and should not be treated as a substitute for primary research, official statistical publications, or professional advice.
By using this website, you acknowledge that all content is provided for informational and educational purposes only. FactsFigs.com assumes no liability for decisions made based on the information presented on this site.
Who is responsible. FactsFigs is. Everything here is researched, built, and written by our own creators and approved by an editor before it goes live, so there is no second category of content we merely host and disown. If a story is wrong, it is ours to correct — tell us at ai@factsfigs.com. What we answer for is that each figure comes from a named, public, already-published source, accurately reported; we do not re-run the underlying research, and where sources disagree we say so rather than picking the tidier number.
