Prospxct Research is produced by the Prospxct Editorial Team. Every article on this site is fact-checked against the underlying source data before publication.
Our Sources
Our research draws on a first-party panel of more than 500 destination travel sites in the Prospxct network. The panel measures planning interest, search demand, content engagement, and onward-click behaviour. When we cite a number, it comes from this panel unless we explicitly attribute it to a different source.
How We Fact-Check
Each article is reviewed against the source data before it ships:
- Every percentage, ratio, ranking, and comparison figure must trace to a specific row in the source evidence. Extrapolated numbers are rejected.
- Causal language ("driven by", "because of") requires named causal evidence in the source data. When the cause is unknown, we say so.
- Superlatives ("the biggest", "the largest") are checked against any prior-extreme figures in the evidence. We do not call a current event a record when an earlier reading was larger.
- Forward-looking statements are framed conditionally ("if X persists into the next print") or as open questions, not as flat predictions.
What We Don't Do
We don't publish AI-generated speculation dressed as analysis. We don't invent context for historical data points. We don't name specific businesses (hotels, tour operators, restaurants) as recommendations from the panel data, because the panel measures interest, not quality.
Independent Review
Articles flagged as needing independent verification (typically those making claims about a specific destination's economy, regulation, or industry structure) carry a "fact-checked by <Reviewer> on <Date>" line above the article body and a reviewedBy Person block in the article's structured data. The reviewer's bio links from that line.
Corrections
Errors of fact in any article should be reported to our contact form. Confirmed errors are corrected in place; the article's dateModified field is updated, and a footer note describes the change.
