Who writes the lessons
Lessons are signed by the Kaplio editorial team, not by an individual. The team combines financial analysis, data engineering and writing, and stands behind every lesson as an organization.
Drafts are prepared with the help of artificial-intelligence tools and follow our own writing guide: one concept per lesson, a definition that stands on its own, examples with real companies and a quiz to check what you learned. No lesson is published without the review described below.
Where the data comes from
Company figures come from the financial statements the companies themselves file with the SEC, the US securities regulator, or with the equivalent body in their country. They are the same figures used across Kaplio: trailing-twelve-month ratios, up to twenty years of history and sector medians.
The concepts rest on the reference books and authors of fundamental analysis, such as Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch and Aswath Damodaran. Every lesson lists its sources at the end.
How the figures are checked
Every company figure in a lesson carries its year or date. Before publication, each figure is checked automatically against our database; if it has no date or is more than 5% away from the data, it is corrected or removed.
Comparison tables are not written by hand: they are generated from the data and show the date they refer to. Beyond the figures, tone and claims are reviewed too, so that a lesson says nothing the data does not support.
How often lessons are updated
Every lesson shows two dates: its last review and the date of the company data it uses. Tables are regenerated when the figures change materially, for example after an earnings release, and the text is revised when it no longer describes the example well.
If you find a mistake, write to kaplio@kaplio.com and tell us which lesson. We review reports within two working days and, if a correction is needed, the lesson is updated with its new date.
What Kaplio is not
Kaplio does not give advice or recommend buying or selling any security. The companies in the lessons are examples for learning to read a metric, not investment suggestions.
The Academy is free and can be read without an account. Kaplio does not charge brokers, fund managers or listed companies to appear in a lesson, is not a regulated entity and does not issue official qualifications.
