Editorial Policy

Content creation process

Articles begin with a reporter or editor identifying a topic worth covering. They gather primary sources—technical reports, official announcements, direct testing, and interviews—and produce a draft. Drafts are edited for accuracy and clarity by a second editor before publication.

Editorial workflow

Every article moves through outlining, drafting, editing, and fact-checking before publication. A second editor reviews each piece for accuracy, clarity, and structure. The named author is responsible for the finished article.

Fact-checking

Claims of fact are verified against primary sources whenever possible. Benchmark numbers, quotes, dates, and technical specifications are checked against original documents.

Source verification

We prefer primary sources: official releases, technical reports, and firsthand testing. When we cite secondary sources, we link to them. Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and only when their information can be corroborated.

Corrections policy

We correct mistakes promptly and transparently. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with the date and nature of the change. Minor edits (typos, formatting) are made silently.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising, sponsorship, and business relationships. Advertisers have no influence over what we cover or how we cover it.

Sponsored content policy

We do not publish sponsored content that looks like editorial. Any paid partnership is clearly labeled as such and separated from the editorial voice.
