Claims and evidence
Every material technical claim needs attributable evidence or an explicit unverified state.
- Use the most direct source available and preserve exact device, variant, software, and date context.
- Separate what a source says from SetupMeld's editorial analysis.
- Disclose credible conflicts rather than silently averaging them away.
- Unknown facts stay unknown; they are not turned into a convenient conclusion.
Testing and experience language
Never use “we tested” or “hands-on” unless SetupMeld actually performed and documented the work. Manufacturer documentation, independent testing, owner reports, editorial analysis, and unverified information keep their own labels and limitations.
Authorship and AI assistance
Bylines, biographies, credentials, technical reviewers, editors, and testers must be real and verifiable. AI may help organize research or drafts, but it cannot become an invented expert, tester, eyewitness, source, or author.
Corrections, dates, and publication
Last Verified records substantive technical review, not a cosmetic timestamp change. Material corrections preserve history. Indexable technical pages require complete source review, accountable authorship, stable canonical identity, useful internal links, and honest conditions.
