Editorial policy and verification
Every fact in Ulawk rests on an official record: trade registry gazettes, official company registers, trademark offices, official gazettes and sanctions authorities. Information with no match in its source is not published. Pages and tables appear under the Ulawk editorial team, never invented bylines; reported errors are checked against the source and fixed.
Last reviewed: Ulawk editorial team
Where the data comes from
- In Türkiye, the Trade Registry Gazette and KAP; abroad, the official company register or official gazette of the country.
- For trademarks, the official bulletins and gazettes of trademark offices; for legislation, official gazettes and parliamentary records.
- For sanctions and debarment lists, the file published by the authority itself.
- Third-party compilations are not cited as sources; every row links to its official source.
How we verify
- In company profiles, AI extracts facts from the notice text and quotes the sentence they rest on; the quote is searched verbatim in the gazette text and anything not found is dropped. Details on the Methodology page.
- Calculated information (beneficial owners, terms of office, risk notices) is labelled as calculated, separately from what is declared.
- In the reference tables, periods and rules are read from the legal text; rows that are not verified are left out. Every table shows its last-reviewed date.
- Sanctions matches are exact-name matches: a possible hit, not an identification.
How often we update
- For monitored companies, the Trade Registry Gazette is checked every business day and KAP every day.
- Sanctions lists are refreshed daily from their publishers.
- Refresh frequency for registers abroad is listed country by country in the coverage table.
- Reference tables are updated when the source changes, and the review date is renewed.
Corrections
- Report an error with the flag next to any profile row, or write to [email protected] with the source.
- Reports are checked against the official source; if correct, the fix is made and the table page shows a new review date.
Who writes
- Pages, guides and tables are published by the Ulawk editorial team. A personal byline is used only when that person wrote the text.
- Guides are not legal advice; they give general information with the article of law and the official source.
