Editorial Charter
The principles governing everything RVRAD publishes.
Eight commitments
Independence
RVRAD sets its own editorial agenda. Coverage cannot be bought, and no external party approves, reviews or vetoes what we publish.
Accuracy
Claims are checked against primary material — standards, filings, technical documentation and named sources. Where evidence is incomplete, we say so in the text.
Transparency of relationships
Any relationship between RVRAD and an organisation we cover is disclosed on the page where the coverage appears, including participation in a named editorial series.
Separation of analysis and promotion
RVRAD publishes no advertorial. Interview guests speak for themselves; RVRAD analysis is clearly attributed to the editorial desk.
Right of reply
Organisations and individuals materially criticised in our coverage are given the opportunity to respond, and substantive responses are published.
Corrections
Errors are corrected promptly and visibly. Substantive corrections are noted on the article and listed on the corrections page.
Sources and consent
Recorded conversations are published with the participant’s knowledge. Off-the-record material stays off the record.
Research limits
RVRAD dossiers are editorial research and analysis. They are not peer-reviewed publications and are not presented as certification, audit or legal advice.
Have a story or strategic analysis worth discussing?
RVRAD welcomes perspectives from European industrial leaders, DeepTech founders, researchers, engineers, and policymakers shaping strategic autonomy.
