About Karthik
Karthik is the second pair of eyes on anything with a figure in it: a schedule, a table, a probability, the date a rule came into force. Data and reporting work in Chennai, most of it spent finding where a number came from.
Karthik also reviews the pages Rajeev Sathe writes about the site itself — policy, method and corrections — so no one on this desk signs off their own work.
What this role covers
Tables, schedules and dates
Odds and probability arithmetic
Source checks before publication
The site's own method, policy and corrections pages
Where the role stops
A data check confirms that a number matches its source and that the source still says it. It is not a claim that the source itself is right.
How a page with this name on it is checked
Karthik does not publish alone. Every page is read back by a second person before it goes out, and the byline names both. The standard both work to is in our editorial policy, and the method behind the numbers is set out in how we test.
Sources are linked in the page itself, primary text first. Where something cannot be checked yet, the page says so instead of guessing. Anything found wrong after publication is logged on the corrections page with the date and what changed.
