Editorial standards and data sources

The rule for every number

Every number in a published sentence traces to a database row and a column. A word that claims a cause is used only where the arithmetic sums, or where a named person or company said it. Everything else is a sequence, a count, or silence.

How the guides and the blog are written

• The answer comes first. Each blog guide answers its question in the opening paragraph, in the first 120 words, and gives the detail after.
• Primary sources. Each guide cites primary sources: the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), the Central Depository Company (CDC) and the National Clearing Company of Pakistan (NCCPL).
• No recommendations. SuperX does not write “best stocks to buy”, target prices or what to do next. It explains how things work and shows data.
• Education, not investment advice. Each guide ends with that sentence, and every page of the site carries a not-advice notice.

The help articles explain how SuperX and its data work, and each one shows the date it was last updated.

Where the market data comes from

The prices, indices, sectors and dividends on SuperX come from public data published by the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Other figures come from NCCPL, CDC, company filings and State Bank of Pakistan reference rates, as the terms of service state. SuperX collects that data into its own database and serves it through its own API. The website reads that API; it does not copy figures by hand.

• The site is rebuilt after the close. Each trading evening the whole site is rebuilt from a fresh snapshot of the API, so the figures on a page are the last close’s.
• Some figures update in the browser. A few pages top up their numbers with a live request after they load.
• The data is delayed. Data pages carry an as of stamp with the date and time the figures were captured. Read it before you rely on a number.
• The Zakat nisab is computed from an international silver price and the USD/PKR rate. The nisab page shows both inputs and the arithmetic.
• News headlines link to the publisher. SuperX does not rewrite them.

The data hub lists every data service on the site. If a build cannot read the data properly, it stops instead of publishing a thin site, so the previous version stays online.

The AI-written notes on stock pages

The pages of KSE-100 companies carry a section titled “What SuperX wrote about” the company. It is a short note of three sentences, written overnight by a language model from the figures of the last close. Companies outside the KSE-100 carry no note.

• Each sentence shows its figures. The numbers a sentence rests on are listed beside it. A sentence that states no figure says so.
• Figures are checked before they are stored. A sentence whose figures are not on the company’s fact sheet is refused and never written.
• Held back, not guessed. If a stored note does not record which figure each sentence rests on, the page says the note is held and does not show it. A note that quotes an old session’s price as current is not shown either.
• The model is named. Each note shows the date it was written, the close it is based on, the model and the version of the prompt.
• Data, not advice. The notes describe what the figures show. They carry no recommendation and no target price.
