Editorial policy

Useful, sourced, and explicit about uncertainty.

This policy governs sourcing, AI-assisted drafting, commercial separation, corrections, and the language used for changing generative-video claims.

Publication

A page must earn its place.

A publishable page needs a distinct user intent, original explanatory or structured value, a responsible editor, a modification date, and sources for every material changing claim. Replacing names in a generic template is not sufficient.

Headlines and summaries must describe the available evidence. We do not turn provider language such as fastest, real-time, or best into an independent conclusion without a reproducible comparison method.

AI assistance

Automation can draft; it cannot own the claim.

AI systems may help extract fields, normalize units, identify possible conflicts, and draft explanatory copy. A designated editorial role remains responsible for the published record and its source mapping.

Automated summaries must be checked against the structured entity and claim ledger. Unsupported details are removed or labeled unknown rather than completed from model memory.

Commercial separation

Payment cannot rewrite the ranking.

Sponsorship, advertising, and affiliate relationships must be visibly labeled. Sponsored inventory is kept separate from organic lists and does not improve a model, project, or provider's editorial assessment.

The initial release does not enable affiliate links. Any later activation requires an auditable feature flag and disclosure review.

Corrections

Correct the present; preserve the history.

Factual errors are corrected with the supporting source and reason recorded. Material changes preserve superseded records so a reader can understand why an earlier page differed.

Legal, safety, privacy, or rights complaints are held from automated publication and routed for project-owner review.
