Publishing Standards

Editorial policy

Clear distinctions help readers—and systems that cite sources—understand what supports each claim.

What we publish

Skagway publishes founder-led guidance for U.S. enterprise leaders and boards considering executive succession, key-person risk, tacit knowledge transfer, and successor readiness.

How we label content

  • Source-backed background links to the original or authoritative source that informs a factual statement.
  • Founder analysis represents Skagway’s point of view or practitioner framework and is identified as such.
  • Illustrative examples are hypothetical teaching examples, never presented as client work or outcomes.
  • Client evidence is not published unless permission is explicit and the statement can be substantiated.

Review and corrections

Each Insight displays a publication and review date. We review factual claims, service details, and external links at least annually and correct material errors promptly. To request a correction, email inquire@skagwaysuccession.com with the page URL and supporting information.

What this is not

The site is not legal, tax, accounting, executive-search, compensation, investment, or fiduciary advice. Readers should engage the appropriate professionals for those decisions.

What took decades to learn

should not disappear in a day.

The road ahead should remember how the company came this far.
