About Felonotus

Last updated: 19 November 2025

Welcome to Felonotus, an independent research, analysis, and fact-checking platform dedicated to producing clear, evidence-based information for the public. In a digital era marked by misinformation, partisan spin, and low-quality content, Felonotus was created to offer a reliable, neutral, and transparent source of research on politics, public affairs, and business-related topics. Our goal is to help readers understand complex issues without sensationalism, bias, or hidden agendas.

Felonotus began as a small project focused on correcting misleading claims circulating in UK political discourse. Since then, it has grown into a broader resource covering fact-checking, political narratives, media accountability, business failures, regulatory developments, and public-interest investigations. We apply the same methodology across all content: rigorous sourcing, careful analysis, and a clear explanation of how each conclusion is reached.

Our Mission

The core mission of Felonotus is to make high-quality research accessible. Many online articles rely on exaggeration, low editorial standards, or unverified claims. Felonotus takes a different approach by prioritising:

Accuracy

We ensure that every major claim is supported by verifiable data, official documentation, recognised experts, or reputable research institutions. Where uncertainty exists, we make it clear to readers rather than presenting speculation as fact.

Neutrality & Balance

Felonotus adopts a centrist, balanced tone. Our purpose is not to promote partisan outcomes but to clarify the factual landscape so readers can form their own conclusions. We regularly consult multiple viewpoints and include context where necessary.

Transparency

Readers deserve to understand how information is gathered and how decisions are made. We cite sources, avoid anonymous claims, and openly declare advertising or affiliate relationships in line with both UK ASA and U.S. FTC rules.

What We Cover

Felonotus produces research and reporting across several key subject areas:

1. Political and Media Fact-Checking

We examine claims made by politicians, media outlets, commentators, and public figures. Each fact-check is based on publicly accessible evidence and includes clear links to sources, supporting documents, and additional reading.

2. Business Failures & Financial Investigations

Our Business Failures Hub explores structural, financial, and managerial causes behind high-profile collapses. These articles combine reporting, financial records, and industry analysis to provide clear explanations of what went wrong.

3. Policy Analysis & Public Information

We break down government proposals, regulatory changes, and public policy issues so readers can quickly understand key points without political framing.

4. Media Accountability & Narrative Tracking

Felonotus monitors patterns in public rhetoric, media messaging, and misleading narratives. We document how claims spread and whether they align with verified facts.

This broad, multi-disciplinary approach ensures Felonotus remains a valuable reference point for researchers, journalists, and everyday readers.

Editorial Standards

At Felonotus, editorial independence is fundamental. Our standards include:

Verification before publication – No major claim is published without supporting evidence.
Clear sourcing – We link to original materials whenever possible.
Non-influence by advertisers or affiliates – Revenue never determines what we publish or how we write.
Willingness to correct errors – Mistakes can happen; transparency in correcting them matters.
Avoidance of inflammatory language – The focus is on clarity, not provocation.

These standards are core to maintaining trust with readers, AdSense reviewers, and search quality evaluators.

Funding & Sustainability

Felonotus is funded through:

Advertising, primarily via Google AdSense
Affiliate links, used sparingly and always disclosed

This revenue supports hosting, research time, and the ongoing growth of the website. Importantly, these income sources do not influence our editorial outcomes or conclusions.

We do not accept sponsored posts, paid content, or paid editorial placement. If this ever changes, such content will be clearly labelled in accordance with ASA and FTC guidelines.

Accountability & Corrections

Felonotus maintains a proactive corrections policy. If any reader identifies potential inaccuracies, missing context, or outdated information, we encourage them to contact us so the issue can be reviewed promptly.

All correction requests can be emailed to:
admin@felonotus.com

Corrections are handled systematically: we review the claim, examine source material, determine whether an update is required, and document the change where appropriate.

Who Runs Felonotus

Felonotus is operated by an independent UK-based researcher committed to factual accuracy, neutrality, and transparency. While the project is small in scale, it benefits from high editorial standards and a structured approach to verification.

We adhere to the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, and international best practices on privacy, with full details available in our Privacy Policy.

Commitment to Readers

Our long-term goal is to expand Felonotus into one of the most trusted independent research resources in the UK. That means continuing to:

Build detailed, accessible explainers
Produce rigorous fact-checks
Monitor business failures and political claims
Strengthen trust through transparency

Readers are at the centre of everything we do, and we remain committed to clarity, accuracy, and fairness.
