Editorial Standards
Our content covers regulated, technical topics — 409A valuations, ASC 820 fair-value measurement, and equity compensation — where accuracy matters. We hold our editorial process to the following standards:
- Source-grounded research. Each post is researched against primary sources (IRS, FASB, AICPA, SEC) and authoritative practitioner materials from major valuation and audit firms before drafting.
- Citation discipline. Section numbers, dollar thresholds, dates, and named regulatory provisions are verified against current source material before publication.
- Worked examples over abstractions. Where it helps a reader, we include concrete numerical examples that can be replicated.
- Methodology transparency. When we cite a study, benchmark, or third-party analysis, we explain its scope and its limits.
- Human review before publication. All content is reviewed by a qualified member of the Zimbs Valetex valuation team prior to publication.
AI-Assisted Drafting
Some content on this blog is drafted with the assistance of large language models, then researched against primary sources, edited, and reviewed by qualified members of our editorial team before publication. Editorial decisions about voice, structure, methodology coverage, and source selection are made by the Zimbs Valetex team. We do not publish content that has not been reviewed by a human.
Corrections
