Supported by evidence.
Confirmed through an authoritative current source, dated record, appropriate firsthand observation, or another source suitable for the claim.
Trust and editorial quality
Useful information begins with an honest label.
We want readers to understand what is verified, what comes from human observation, what reflects perspective, and what still needs confirmation.
What was noticed.
A human account of something seen or experienced. An observation may be useful without becoming a universal fact.
Meaning and perspective.
A clearly labeled interpretation, belief, lesson, or viewpoint. It should not be presented as objective proof.
No guessing.
When a changeable detail or local claim cannot be confirmed, we explain what remains unresolved and direct readers to the responsible source when possible.
How we verify
Preserve the human. Strengthen the information.
- Purpose: Understand what the story is genuinely trying to help readers learn.
- Humanity: Preserve lived experience, personality, values, and emotional meaning.
- Evidence: Research changeable information and use authoritative sources when practical.
- Clarity: Separate fact, observation, opinion, interpretation, assumption, and suggestion.
- Uncertainty: Say what is unknown. Never manufacture a source, quote, experience, recommendation, or claim.
- Review: A human editor remains responsible for context, permissions, corrections, and publication.
Responsible AI use
AI can assist the work. It does not become the source.
AI may assist with research planning, comparison, drafting, formatting, accessibility checks, and organization. AI output is not treated as factual evidence by itself.
Human review remains responsible for lived experience, relationships, permissions, values, factual acceptance, sensitive claims, and final publication.
