Editorial standards

Editorial Policy

Every indexed article must solve a defined reader problem, cite evidence, add original analysis, and disclose its limits.

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Scope and purpose

We cover AI tools, agent architecture, automation workflows, security, and operating cost. We do not publish pages solely to target keyword variants, inflate a catalog, or repeat upstream descriptions. Similar drafts are consolidated; weak drafts remain unpublished.

Research and source hierarchy

Changing claims about features, pricing, policies, security guidance, and model behavior are checked against primary sources such as official documentation, standards bodies, or original research. Secondary sources may add context but do not replace the primary evidence. AI-generated text is not a source.

Original contribution requirement

Each article must include at least one useful decision artifact: a scored rubric, comparison matrix, calculation model, implementation sequence, failure-mode analysis, or reproducible checklist. A summary of material available elsewhere is not enough.

AI assistance and human responsibility

AI may support discovery, outline generation, draft transformation, and mechanical quality checks. The AICLawSkills Editorial Desk selects sources, verifies material claims, reviews links, checks internal consistency, and approves publication. Each research article displays its AI-assistance method and review date.

Claims about testing

We distinguish documentation-based analysis from hands-on testing. “Tested,” “benchmark,” and performance claims require dated conditions, inputs, versions, and observable results. When that evidence is absent, the article says that its assessment is documentation-based.

Publication gate

A draft is eligible for publication only after passing the content quality gate with a score of at least 85 out of 100 and no critical failure. Critical failures include unsupported factual claims, copied or near-duplicate content, invented testing, deceptive interface elements, missing source attribution, or a page that does not resolve its stated user need.

Updates, corrections, and removals

High-change comparisons, cost guides, and security guidance receive priority review. A material correction updates the page date and the affected claim. Pages that can no longer be supported are consolidated, redirected when an equivalent resource exists, or removed. Readers can report issues at [email protected].
