Methodology

How this site handles a living, polarizing president — the rules, in the open.

The subject is alive

Javier Milei is a sitting head of state with active supporters and opponents. This site therefore follows a living-public-figure policy:

1. No endorsement, no attack. Language is encyclopedic. Adjectives of praise or condemnation appear only inside attributed quotations.
2. Both sides, attributed. Economic and institutional claims carry their source — and where a claim is contested, both readings appear with their attributions (see Criticism & Support).
3. No speculation about motives or private life beyond what is publicly documented or stated by the subject.
4. Corrections are substantive. Errors, when found, are corrected in the text and noted.

Sourcing rules

• Official statistics first: INDEC for inflation/poverty/unemployment, BCRA for monetary data, IMF for program terms. Press reporting is used to find figures; the agencies are the source.
• Reputable reporting for events: Reuters, AP, and established Argentine outlets (La Nación, Clarín, Infobae). Partisan outlets are not used for factual claims.
• Verbatim quotes only. Every quotation on Sayings is traceable to a dated public appearance; venue and date are cited. Paraphrase is never presented as quotation.
• Spanish originals first. Translations are the site’s own unless a published translation is cited.

Uncertainty labels

• Documented: official records, agency data, dated video/transcript.
• His account: claims resting on Milei’s own telling (early-life details, personal anecdotes).
• Reported, not confirmed: material from secondary sources (e.g., biographies) not corroborated by primary evidence — flagged inline.
• Omitted: figures and claims that could not be verified are left out rather than hedged into the text. Gaps are listed in the build notes, not papered over.

Imagery rules

• Real photographs only from Wikimedia Commons with verifiable free licenses; every file recorded in the image credits on this page and captioned with provenance on-page.
• Never generate photorealistic images of the real person. AI-generated images are allowed only as clearly-labeled stylized 3D-animated-movie caricature dramatization of the Vizlings character, captioned “AI-generated dramatization art — not a historical depiction” at every appearance.

Update policy

Economic figures are current as of September 2026. INDEC releases monthly inflation mid-month and poverty data half-yearly; this site’s figures should be refreshed against those releases. Political developments (laws, decrees, elections) are recorded with dates; the timeline is the canonical record.

What this site is not

It is not a campaign site, not an opposition site, and not financial advice. It is a reference: the documented record, the verified words, the attributed debate — maintained so a reader can form their own judgment.

Source notes
