Editorial Policy
Standards for content quality and neutrality
Vendor-agnostic. Evidence-first. We require clear methods, units, and sources; marketing claims are rejected. Conformance language follows MUST/SHOULD/MAY. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Errata are logged in Version History.
Core Principles
- Vendor Neutrality: No commercial bias or product recommendations
- Evidence-Based: All claims backed by data, methods, and sources
- Measurable Standards: Clear units, formulas, and acceptance criteria
- Transparency: Conflicts of interest disclosed; open review process
Content Standards
Conformance Language
Requirements use RFC 2119 keywords: MUST (mandatory), SHOULD (recommended), MAY (optional). Implementation claims specify conformance level.
Rejected Content
Marketing materials, vendor pitches, unsubstantiated claims, promotional content, and commercial endorsements.
Review Process
- 1. Technical Review: Methods and data validation
