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.
