Methodology
A briefing is useful only when readers can see its evidence and limits.
Source hierarchy
Official statistics
BLS releases for labor and prices; BEA releases for national accounts, income, consumer spending, and GDP.
Official fiscal and rate context
U.S. Treasury data and releases, cited with the observation date and relevant terms.
Company disclosure context
SEC EDGAR filings only when an issuer-specific fact is directly relevant and labeled as issuer-specific.
What every cited fact must show
Source agency, direct URL, release or publication date, observation/reference period, unit and basis where relevant, and preliminary/revised status. A source link supports the reported fact; it does not turn WorkMason interpretation into an official view.
Facts, interpretation, and uncertainty
Each briefing separates reported facts, WorkMason interpretation, questions to review, and limits/unknowns. Aggregate data does not establish what will happen to an individual business. Economic data can be revised after release; material corrections affecting a published brief are labeled rather than silently overwritten.
Service boundary
WorkMason provides general economic information and editorial analysis, not investment, legal, tax, accounting, lending, insurance, or fiduciary advice. It does not recommend securities, transactions, or a course of action.
