Editorial policy
How a report earns publication.
A scheduled draft does not become an article merely because the calendar says so. It publishes only when evidence, calculations, structure, media rights, and the site build all pass.
Evidence requirements
Reports use at least three credible sources and favor primary material. Claims about fees, eligibility, regulation, and platform behavior link to the relevant source. We distinguish facts from our estimates and label individual income claims as anecdotal.
Original value
Each article must do more than summarize sources. It must define the opportunity, surface overlooked costs or constraints, construct transparent economics, explain failure modes, and make a reasoned recommendation for a specific reader. We do not publish scaled rewrites assembled to target search phrases.
Automation and AI
Automation may help discover topics, collect sources, create a draft, check required fields, and deploy approved material. AI assistance is not a source. It cannot invent interviews, testing, credentials, quotes, or results. If the day’s candidate cannot meet the quality gate, the automation records the reason and skips publication.
Independence
Commercial relationships do not change ratings. A future affiliate link or sponsorship will be disclosed where a reader encounters it. Advertisers will not receive advance approval of editorial conclusions.
Images and embeds
We use licensed documentary photos when possible, show creator attribution, and link to the source. Official press images are used only when reuse terms allow it. Social posts are embedded or linked rather than copied. AI-created images are labeled clearly.
