Our Mandate: Independent U.S. Financial Reporting

Founded in August 2025 by Adarsha Dhakal, Investozora is an independent financial news and economic research publication covering the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve policy, Treasury operations, financial markets, banking, inflation, employment, IRS taxation, Social Security, and federal financial systems. Our mission is to explain consequential financial developments through original reporting, verified economic data, transparent calculations, and independent analysis that distinguishes established facts from interpretation.

Our reporting prioritizes original government records from the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, IRS, and Social Security Administration. We examine official releases, underlying datasets, policy documents, and historical records to establish what changed, why it matters, and what the available evidence supports. Financial-market observations are verified against appropriate original market records. Our commitment is to financial journalism that readers can independently examine and trust.

Editorial Standards: Accuracy, Independence & Accountability

Investozora's editorial process prioritizes primary-source verification, numerical accuracy, methodological transparency, and human editorial judgment. Material claims are checked against their originating records, including applicable release dates, reporting periods, statistical definitions, revisions, and supporting documentation. Independent calculations are distinguished from official figures, while market interpretations, forecasts, and causal explanations are presented according to the strength of their evidence.

Our reporting is guided by published Editorial Standards, a documented Research Methodology, a Fact-Checking Policy, and a transparent Corrections Policy. Editorial decisions remain independent of commercial influence, and responsibility for published work rests with identifiable human editorial leadership. Readers can examine our sources, challenge factual findings, and report potential errors to editorial@investozora.com.
