This policy explains how The Infosiast commissions, researches, reviews, updates, and corrects content.
Editorial Mission
Every indexable page should help a defined reader complete a task, understand a concept, evaluate a risk, or make a safer decision. Our three editorial pillars are online safety and cybersecurity; practical technology, AI, and digital skills; and science, education, and career foundations.
Commissioning Standard
Every proposed article must have one clear audience task, one primary intent, a comparison with current search results, and a statement of unique value. We do not publish a page merely because a topic is trending or because existing results can be reworded.
Sources and Evidence
We prefer primary and authoritative sources, including official government guidance, regulators, standards bodies, research papers, public institutions, and first-party product documentation. Evidence should appear near the claim it supports.
Estimates, projections, disputed findings, and unresolved questions must be identified as such. We do not invent quotations, statistics, credentials, examples presented as real events, or testing that did not occur.
Authorship and Review
The Infosiast Editorial Team is a shared organizational byline for work researched and reviewed through our editorial process. It does not represent a single unnamed expert.
When specialist review is necessary, the page should name the genuine reviewer or contributor, state the relevant credential or experience, describe the review role, and disclose any material conflict. A reviewer identity is never added solely to create a search signal.
Health, Finance, and Legal-Adjacent Content
We do not publish new prescriptive medical, investment, or legal recommendations without suitable qualified review. Older pages in these areas are being evaluated for preservation, expert review, consolidation, removal from the index, or retirement. No such action is taken solely because an article is short.
AI-Assisted Workflow
AI may assist discovery, outlining, drafting support, editing, audits, or illustrations. No article may be published through an unattended bulk-generation workflow. Editors remain responsible for factual verification, source quality, originality, reader usefulness, images, metadata, links, and public rendering.
Content Preservation
Before substantially changing an indexed page, we record its existing content, headings, metadata, links, images, known search performance, and distinctive sections. We default to surgical editing or additive expansion.
Removing more than 10 percent from an indexed article above 1,000 words, removing a unique section, changing primary intent, or changing its URL or indexation requires explicit owner approval.
Originality
Pages must provide page-specific value rather than repeated templates. Cross-article similarity is reviewed, and repetitive labels such as generic transparency or conclusion sections are not forced into every article.
Images and Illustrations
Images must support the subject and include accurate descriptive alternative text. AI-generated or illustrative visuals are not presented as documentary evidence of real people or events.
Corrections
Readers can report errors, outdated claims, broken links, or attribution concerns through the Contact page. Valid corrections are made promptly, and material changes should be reflected in the page’s update information.
Archive Improvement
The site contains older work created under broader standards. Every published URL is being classified using reader usefulness, pillar alignment, search and link evidence, factual risk, and uniqueness. Redirects, noindex actions, consolidations, and deletions require explicit owner approval.
