Editorial Policy

The Fleet Super Operator (FSO) standard and related materials are developed through a rigorous editorial process to ensure accuracy, neutrality, and academic integrity. This policy outlines our approach to content development and community contributions.

1. Content Development Principles

All content published on FleetSuperOperator.org adheres to the following principles:

  • Evidence-based: Claims are supported by research, data, or industry best practices
  • Neutral: Content maintains an objective, academic tone free from marketing language
  • Transparent: Sources are properly cited and methodologies are clearly explained
  • Accessible: Information is presented in clear, concise language with appropriate technical detail

2. Standard Development Process

The FSO standard follows a structured development process:

  1. Research and evidence gathering
  2. Draft development by subject matter experts
  3. Internal peer review
  4. Community feedback period
  5. Revision based on feedback
  6. Final publication with version control

3. Versioning and Updates

All standards and modules are versioned to ensure clarity about which requirements apply. Major versions (e.g., v1.0 to v2.0) indicate substantial changes, while minor versions (e.g., v1.1 to v1.2) indicate clarifications or small additions.

Previous versions remain accessible for reference, with clear indications of their status.

4. Community Contributions

We welcome contributions from the community, which are evaluated based on:

  • Alignment with FSO principles and objectives
  • Quality of supporting evidence
  • Clarity and completeness
  • Potential value to the broader community

All contributions undergo review by our editorial team before publication.

5. Corrections and Clarifications

If errors are identified in published content, we follow this process:

  1. Verify the error
  2. Publish a correction with clear documentation of the change
  3. Update the changelog
  4. Notify users of significant corrections through appropriate channels

6. Editorial Independence

The FSO editorial team maintains independence from commercial interests. While we collaborate with industry partners, our content decisions are based on evidence and community benefit, not commercial considerations.
