Editorial policy

Every story must be useful, surprising, or genuinely entertaining. Automation may help with research and drafting, but a reviewed source record and explicit human approval are required before publication.

What we reject

Copied reporting, spun articles, fabricated quotations, fake authors, undisclosed conflicts, unlicensed imagery, unsupported claims, and pages created only to capture search traffic.

AI assistance and images

AI assistance never creates first-hand experience, identity or evidence. Generated editorial images are labeled and cannot be presented as product screenshots, documentary evidence or real events.

Advertising independence

Advertising, sponsorships and affiliate relationships will be disclosed and will not determine factual conclusions or remove necessary criticism.

Corrections

Material changes are dated and explained. Prior approved revisions and their evidence remain part of the private audit trail.
