About Bullquill

Bullquill is an independent, English-language digital publication. It explains what changed in finance, artificial intelligence, technology and games, and what those changes mean for readers. Every piece links to the original documents it relies on.

We don't try to be first with the news. We try to be clear, accurate and useful. Most of our work is explainers, analysis and regular roundups (we aim for weekly), built from primary sources such as central bank statements, regulatory texts, official data and company filings.

What we cover

• Finance (our main section): central bank decisions, financial regulation, fintech, and the rules governing AI in financial services. We pay particular attention to Southeast Asia and write in plain English. We explain policies and rules. We do not recommend products or investments.
• AI: updates to AI tools and models, and the rules around them, written for people who use these tools rather than build them.
• Tech: explainers on technology that affects everyday users and small businesses.
• Games: news and analysis about games and the games industry.

Who runs Bullquill

Bullquill is run by one person based in Indonesia who is responsible for everything published under the pen name Rowan Ashby. There is no larger newsroom, parent company or investor behind the site.

Why a pen name. The editor uses a pen name to keep their private life separate from this publication. We know a pen name asks readers for more trust than a real name does, so we try to earn it in other ways:

• We use a single pen name consistently. We do not invent additional writers or personas.
• We do not claim degrees, certifications, job titles or experience the editor does not have, and we do not use stock or generated photos to represent the author.
• We link to the primary sources behind our reporting so you can check our work.
• We publish our editorial and corrections policies, and we follow them.

On this site, "we" means Bullquill's editor.

What Bullquill is not

• Not a financial adviser. Nothing on Bullquill is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. We do not tell readers to buy, sell or hold any stock, fund, crypto-asset or other product, and we do not answer questions about personal portfolios. See our Disclaimer.
• Not a financial institution. We do not offer, sell, broker or arrange any financial product or service.
• Not a registered press company. Bullquill is a personal, independent publication. It is not a press company registered with Indonesia's Press Council (Dewan Pers), and it does not claim press credentials or status as an official media outlet.

How we make money

We plan to carry display advertising. Until then, ad spaces show only our own house message. In our first year, display advertising is the only source of revenue we plan to use. When we carry ads, automated ad slots will be filled by an ad network, and the editor will not choose individual advertisers. An ad appearing next to an article is not an endorsement. We will block ad categories that conflict with our Finance coverage, such as "get rich quick" offers and gambling.

In our first year, we do not:

• use affiliate links or earn commissions from any product we mention;
• publish sponsored or paid content;
• accept payment from any company, government, token project or person in exchange for coverage.

If our revenue model changes after the first year, we will update this page and our Editorial Policy first. If we have a commercial relationship with a company we cover, we say so in the article.

How we work

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Corrections are dated and noted at the end of the article. See our Corrections Policy.
