Editorial Standards

How public work gets reviewed, cut down, or rejected.

Evidence first, prose second, schedule a distant third.

Every article goes through editorial review, technical review, privacy review, and final human approval before publication. If a claim is weak, the fix is stronger evidence or a smaller claim. It is not a brisker headline.

Publication rules

  • Claims trace back to evidence.
  • Assumptions are labelled as assumptions.
  • Recommendations stay proportionate to whatever actually supports them.
  • Tradeoffs sit next to the advice they qualify.
  • Private infrastructure detail does not survive into public work.

Recommendation rule

Product mentions are allowed when they help explain a real build, measurement, limitation, or decision. Broad "best" claims are not. Neither is borrowed authority from other people's test benches dressed up as first-hand judgement.

What fails review

  • Invented measurements or invented product testing.
  • Broad “best” claims without proof.
  • Borrowed bench results dressed up as first-hand judgement.

Final approval stays with the human editor. The workflow can be automated. Accountability cannot.
