How this site is made
Who publishes Prism Data Lab, how the articles are made, and how the facts in them are checked.

Editor
C. B. Zakarian (a pen name) is the owner and editor of Prism Data Lab. C. B. Zakarian holds a Ph.D. in Information Systems, with a focus on data science, from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2016), and is an assistant professor.
Since October 6, 2026, every new piece on Prism Data Lab is read and approved by C. B. Zakarian before it is published. Pages published earlier are being reviewed in weekly batches, and each reviewed page shows the date of its review.
How the articles are made
The articles, code listings and datasets are produced from the sources named in each article, under the owner’s direction. The owner decides what is published and when.
Where an article reports its own research, saying what was read, what was run or what could not be confirmed, “we” means this site. No article describes anyone’s personal history or career. Until September 25, 2026 the About page said the site was written by one person; it was corrected that day.
How the numbers are checked
- Every figure has a script. An analysis article's listing runs from the raw download to the printed figure, and the dataset and the script ship with the article. A figure that cannot be reproduced that way does not appear.
- Citations name the series identifier, the SEC accession number, the arXiv identifier or the table, with the retrieval date, because data gets revised.
- Nothing here is advice. No article recommends a position.
If a fact cannot be verified, it is left out and the article says so. When an article is corrected, its updated date moves with the change.
