Evidence first. Reader interest before publishing pressure.

A deadline, keyword opportunity, backlink, payment, or finished draft never overrides a failed quality gate. Every published page must help a defined reader and show how its author knows what it claims.

Ten requirements for every article

Publication requires every applicable standard below to be satisfied and recorded.

Serve a specific reader with a real task, decision, or question
Belong to one approved editorial section
Contribute original value beyond summaries and vendor material
Show the evidence behind material claims
Separate observation, sourced fact, calculation, inference, and opinion
Name a human author and a different independent editor
Disclose commercial relationships and meaningful AI assistance
Be safe, lawful, accessible, and maintainable
Pass independent editorial and factual review
Meet search-spam policies and Infoocode’s stricter recovery rules

Sources and citations

Direct testing and primary sources come first. Official documentation, source code, standards, original datasets, papers, pricing pages, and policy pages support factual claims. Search snippets and generated answers are discovery aids, not evidence.

Citations sit close to the claims they support. Time-sensitive facts carry an as-of date, and conflicting credible sources are represented rather than silently discarded.

AI assistance

AI may assist with bounded tasks, but it is never treated as a source, author, tester, or editor. A responsible person verifies every material claim, example, citation, and instruction. Unattended or bulk AI publishing is prohibited.
