Disclaimer
What our published material is and is not — and where independent professional advice is needed instead.
Last updated August 2026
This says what our published material is and is not. It is research and opinion, not legal, financial, tax or professional advice tailored to your situation, and reading it does not create a client relationship with us. It covers the whole website's published content. It does not cover the specific advice given during a paid engagement, which the agreement for that engagement governs, and it does not promise any particular result from acting on what we publish.
Everything published here is written to be useful. None of it knows your situation.
What this material is
Research, frameworks, articles and publications drawn from our own work. Written plainly, and written to be argued with rather than simply agreed to.
What it is not
The information published on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It should not be treated as:
- Legal advice
- Financial, investment or tax advice
- Cybersecurity or regulatory advice
- Professional consulting advice tailored to your circumstances
- A substitute for a professional who knows your situation
You should obtain independent professional advice before making decisions based on anything published here.
No client relationship
Accessing or using this website does not establish a client, advisory or professional relationship with XONIK. Such a relationship is created only through a separate written agreement.
Accuracy
We work to keep information accurate and current, and we cite sources where we have them. Content may still become out of date, and we may get things wrong. If you find an error, tell us: we will correct the page and note that it was corrected, rather than quietly editing it.
AI-assisted content
XONIK may use artificial intelligence to support research, analysis, drafting and other internal processes. Where AI contributes to published content or client work, human review and oversight are applied before publication. Users should still independently verify information before relying on it.
On the figures we publish
Where we quote a number, we say where it came from. Some are drawn from our own engagements and are described as such — those are observed patterns rather than survey findings, and the sample is small. We would rather label a number honestly than round it into something that sounds more authoritative than it is.
Outcomes
Nothing published here promises a result. Organisations that do the work described tend to move faster; we cannot tell you that yours will, and any firm that does is selling something.
Third-party websites
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and information only. XONIK does not endorse them and is not responsible for their content, services, or privacy and security practices.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, XONIK accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on material published on this website. Our responsibility for advice given during an engagement is governed by the agreement covering that engagement.

This disclaimer does not cover advice given during a paid engagement — our responsibility there is set by the agreement covering that work, not by this page. It does not cover personal data (see the Privacy Policy) or the terms of using this website generally (see Terms & Conditions). And it does not promise that a pattern we describe from our own engagements will hold for yours — the sample behind any figure we quote is stated, and it is small.
Questions we get asked
