How we work.

The rules every Whitmont Paper is held to. Written down so they can be checked against.

What we write about

The fields, categories and technologies that will produce the next companies, seen ten years out. Not the news. Not what happened this week. Where a category is going and who will build in it.

Sources

  • Every figure links to a primary source: a filing, a regulator, a dataset, a paper, a company's own numbers.
  • Where a figure is an estimate, the paper says so and shows the working.
  • Sources are listed in full at the end of every paper, with the date accessed.

Checking

Every number is checked by a second reader who did not write the paper. Every paper carries the date it was finished, because a fact about the future has a shelf life.

Corrections

If a paper is wrong, it is corrected, and the correction is logged on the paper's page with the date. Nothing is quietly edited.

Numbering

Papers are numbered WP-{year}-{number}, in the order they are published. The number is permanent. Cite it.

How to cite

Whitmont Fellows ({year}). {Title}. Whitmont Papers, {reference}. {url}

Reuse

Papers and carousels may be shared and quoted freely with attribution to Whitmont Fellows and a link. They may not be altered or sold.
