Yes. You can stop an investigation by offering a rectification.
A rectification may involve:
Retracting the statement or article
Correcting the specific claim(s) in dispute
Apologizing or the error or misleading framing
The Objector must agree to stop the investigation if they are satisfied with your offer. If they accept, the case is closed. If they reject the offer, proceedings continue.
Offering a rectification is not an admission of guilt or malice. It is often the fastest and most constructive resolution for both parties.
