1. Is the question current?
Our radar monitors permitted public feeds, question communities, trend signals and our own search queries. A single post is an early signal, not proof of broad demand.
2. What do existing answers miss?
An editor examines leading answers for outdated instructions, missing exceptions, unsupported claims and unnecessary complexity. If the gap cannot be stated clearly, we do not commission the article.
3. Can the answer be verified?
Consequential claims rely on current primary sources: government publications, standards, product documentation or original research. Community posts may reveal the question but do not become factual evidence.
4. Did independent reviewers clear it?
Three separate reviewers examine demand and intent, facts and safety, and reader usefulness. Reviewers cannot edit the article. They return a documented PASS, REVISE or BLOCK verdict, and publication is blocked until all three roles pass with no critical issue.
5. Are the visuals honest and licensed?
We use public-domain, CC0, properly attributed CC BY, expressly permitted official media, or our own diagrams and AI-made explanatory art. AI imagery is never presented as documentary evidence, a real interface or firsthand testing.
6. Can the reader see the limits?
Every guide records its check date, sources and important exceptions. We never claim a firsthand test that did not happen. Send corrections through our corrections contact page.
