Editorial policy

How we decide what is worth publishing.

A byline and a source list are not decoration. Every guide should help someone make a better decision, show where its claims came from, and say what the evidence cannot settle.

Policy

The publication test

Can a reader inspect the answer—not merely trust the polish?

They should be able to find the evidence, see the limitation, and know what to do next.

Before a draft exists

The research has to earn the writing.

We define the reader, the working decision, the available evidence, and the unsupported claims that must stay out. If several proposed posts answer the same question, they should become one stronger guide.

Start with a decision

Each guide is built for a reader trying to understand a problem, choose an approach, or avoid a predictable failure—not for a pile of keyword variations.

Keep a fact ledger

Material claims are traced to primary documentation, research, or clearly identified first-party evidence. Interpretation stays separate from documented fact.

Leave the limits visible

Platform metrics, small samples, changing product behavior, jurisdiction, and missing revenue data can narrow what a source proves. Those limits belong in the article.

Review when the world changes

Time-sensitive guides carry a review date. Material product, policy, standard, or evidence changes trigger a new review rather than a cosmetic date change.

AI assistance and imagery

Tools can assist the work. They cannot carry the accountability.

AI tools may help organize research, test an outline, surface gaps, or produce an early draft. The published argument, factual claims, citations, examples, and limitations still require editorial review. We do not create many lightly varied pages simply because a tool makes that cheap.

Some editorial hero images are AI-generated and compressed for the web. They are illustrations, not documentary evidence. Client dashboards and campaign screenshots are presented separately and captioned as evidence when permission and provenance are available.

Humanization means accountable editing: concrete stakes, natural rhythm, useful examples, and a voice shaped by the subject. It does not mean fake anecdotes, deliberate mistakes, manufactured dialect, or rewriting for an AI-detector score.

Corrections

Found a claim that needs another look?

Send the page, the disputed passage, and the best source you have. We will review material corrections and update the review date when the substance changes.
