About the editorial gateway and editorial method
Who publishes the gateway, the five-step editorial method behind every page, the fact-checking and source-of-truth rules, and the governance line between editorial content and operator-controlled surfaces.
Who publishes the editorial gateway
The editorial gateway is published by an independent editorial team. The team is not employed by the operator and does not receive compensation tied to conversions. The team is based in Bengaluru and operates on Indian business hours. The team publishes weekly editorial coverage of MyTeam11 fantasy cricket, weekly coverage of the fantasy sports industry in India, and a verification desk that runs the editorial method on every page.
A note on governance
The editorial team operates independently of commercial and legal workflows. The commercial desk handles affiliate partnerships and may not alter editorial coverage. The legal desk runs sensitivity passes and may not publish editorial coverage. The separation is enforced by an editorial charter the team revisits each year.
The five-step editorial method
Every page the editorial gateway publishes passes through a five-step editorial workflow. The five steps are topic brief, research, draft, sensitivity pass, and publish with correction log. Each step has an owner, a deliverable, and a verification step. The five-step method is published on the About page and is the binding rule for every page on the gateway.
How the source-of-truth rule works
The source-of-truth rule says that every statistic, every limit, and every bonus figure must be sourced from a single published document, and that source must be cited inline. The editorial log records the source for every figure that appears on the About page. The rule is enforced through a quarterly audit that lists every figure on the editorial gateway alongside its source.
Every page the gateway publishes passes through five editorial steps; each step has an owner and a record.
The editorial gateway publishes a single, named editorial method that all pages share. The method is enforced through a five-step editorial workflow with named owners and an auditable record.
Topic brief and source-of-truth rule
The topic brief is a one-paragraph pitch that names the audience, the angle, the sources, and the conflict-of-interest disclosure if any. The source-of-truth rule is binding: every statistic, every limit, and every bonus figure must be traced to a single published document, and the citation must appear inline. The editorial log records the source for every figure on the About page.
How the sensitivity pass works
The sensitivity pass runs a legal check on every claim, every quote, and every statistic. The pass checks the publication against the DPDP Act 2023, against the MeitY Rules 2021, against the state acts, and against the operator's terms. The pass produces a sign-off note that is stored alongside the About entry in the editorial log.
Research, draft, sensitivity pass
The research step produces a source-attributed outline. The draft step turns that outline into a 2,500+ word piece with citations and a route-specific photograph. The sensitivity pass runs a legal check on every claim, every quote, and every statistic. The legal desk signs off the pass before the publication goes live.
How the corrections log is published
The corrections log is published as a standing section on every article where a correction has been applied. The log carries the date of the correction, the original sentence, the corrected sentence, and the source. A future reader who visits that article sees the original coverage, the correction, and the date the correction was applied.

Publish, correction log, and the publication audit trail
The publish step releases the article with a publication timestamp and a standing correction log. The correction log is open: a reader may submit a correction at any time and the correction will be acknowledged within 72 hours. The publication audit trail is internal and carries the named owner of every step.
The charter of editorial independence
The editorial team is editorially independent of the commercial desk and the legal desk. The commercial desk handles affiliate partnerships and may not alter editorial coverage. The legal desk handles sensitivity passes and may not publish editorial coverage. The separation is enforced by an editorial charter that the team revisits each year.
What the editorial gateway does not do
The editorial gateway does not publish a "best" ranking across operators. The editorial gateway does not publish a "guaranteed win" prediction. The editorial gateway does not publish a fake timing claim. The editorial gateway does not ask for a deposit on the gateway itself. The editorial gateway does not run any contest of chance.
Where to read the source documents
The editorial team maintains a sources index that lists every source document the editorial gateway cites. The sources index is updated each quarter. A reader who wants to verify a figure in any article can navigate to the sources index, find the source document, and read the source at first hand.
Editorial accountability and the five-step method
The five-step editorial method is the binding rule for every article on the editorial gateway. The accountability is logged in the editorial log: every article, the date, the named owners, and the verification step. The five-step method is published here, on the About page. A reader who wants to verify the accountability can navigate to the editorial log and find the case reference for the article.
How the editorial gateway runs the editorial audit
The editorial gateway runs the editorial audit on a quarterly cadence. The audit checks every page, every step of the five-step method, every named owner, and every audit trail. The audit produces a published report that lists every page, the date, the owners, and the verification step. The audit report is published on the editorial responsibility page; the report carries the date of the audit and the date of the next audit. The audit report is the binding rule. A discrepancy between the audit report and the editorial coverage triggers an update on the next refresh; the update is logged in the editorial log. A reader who wants to verify the editorial coverage against the audit report can navigate to the editorial responsibility page.
Frequently asked

What is the five-step editorial method?
Five steps: topic brief, research, draft, sensitivity pass, and publish. Each step has an owner and a record.
How do you handle a fact-check?
A fact-check triggers when a source disagrees with the article, when a reader submits a correction, or when the editorial log flags a stale figure. The editorial team updates the article and publishes a correction note.
Do you accept sponsored content?
The editorial gateway may accept clearly labelled sponsored content for the operator's own marketing. Sponsored content is labelled at the top of the article and does not appear in the editorial coverage.
How do you handle affiliate disclosure?
Every page carries a disclosed affiliate notice in the footer. Pages with primary action buttons may earn a referral fee from the operator.
Is the editorial gateway affiliated with the operator?
The editorial gateway runs an affiliate relationship with the operator. The affiliate relationship is disclosed on every page; the affiliate fee does not change the editorial coverage.
How does the editorial team treat a paid placement?
The editorial team does not accept paid placements in editorial coverage. The commercial desk accepts clearly labelled sponsored content; the editorial coverage is unaffected.
What is the editorial calendar?
The editorial calendar is the publication schedule the editorial team maintains. The calendar is published on the editorial responsibility page; it lists the publication date for each planned article.
How does the editorial team handle a disagreement from the operator?
The operator may disagree with editorial coverage. The disagreement is logged; the editor responds; the response is published. The editorial team does not edit coverage because the operator disagrees.
How does the About page sit within the wider editorial network?
The about page is one of the published stops in the editorial network. The wider network covers the editorial method (About), the privacy notice (Privacy), the cookie policy (Cookies), the contact channels (Contact), the DMCA procedure (DMCA), the legal framework (Legal), the editorial responsibility page, and the corrections log. Every stop in the network links to the others through the footer.
Where can I read the underlying source document?
The underlying source document is linked from the editorial log on the editorial responsibility page. The source document is the binding rule; the About page is the editorial reading. A reader who wants to verify what is written here can navigate to the editorial log and read the source document at first hand.
What if the source document changes?
A source-document change triggers an editorial-log refresh on the next editorial pass. The about page is updated to reflect the change; the editorial log records the date of the change and the date of the refresh. The quarterly audit cycle picks up the change on the next pass.
