Editorial policy and quality standards

What earns publication

A defined decision

The page must answer a question a reader can act on. We improve or withhold weak pages instead of publishing for volume, keyword coverage or date freshness.

Visible information gain

A published page needs original analysis, a working tool, a reproducible example, a useful comparison or a clearer decision process. A rewritten definition is not enough.

Evidence and production

Sources support factual claims

We prefer primary government, regulator and standards sources. A citation supports a claim; it does not replace our calculation or explanation. We do not invent research, interviews, reviews, testing, credentials or experience.

The Docs Library is a delivery system, not a guest author

Docs Library stores material prepared specifically for REALLY.YOU. It is not an open guest-post marketplace, white-label section, sponsor or source of borrowed domain authority. A feed entry receives no special treatment because it came through the library: REALLY.YOU remains responsible for the page, its fit and its publication.

Automation has hard limits

The importer cannot bypass identity checks, duplicate-slug checks, topic assignment, primary-source requirements, commercial-link screening, near-copy detection, the three-day spacing rule or H1 stripping. A queued page stays outside routes, search and the sitemap until the publication job changes its status. Automation is not used to make large sets of keyword, location or year variations.

AI-assisted work remains accountable

Generative tools may assist with drafts, code and original visuals. They are not presented as human expertise. Publication still requires site-specific structure, reproducible calculations, source checks and project-controlled quality gates. Automation is useful here for repeatable calculations and validation - Not for disguising copied or low-effort text.

Authorship and outside relationships

REALLY.YOU accepts responsibility

REALLY.YOU Editorial is the organizational author and publisher unless a page names another real author. We do not fabricate people, biographies, headshots, qualifications or review claims. Imported delivery metadata does not replace an author or responsible publisher.

No authority-rental pages

We do not publish unrelated third-party sections, paid ranking pages, repackaged affiliate copy or pages supplied mainly to benefit from this domain’s search signals. Every indexable article must sit in a visible topic hub, use the same design and quality standard, and link to the relevant method and calculator.

Corrections and independence

Dates change only after review

A material correction changes the page and its review date. We do not refresh dates without substantive work. A calculation concern should include the inputs, expected result and source terms.

Payment does not set conclusions

Launch pages have no paid rankings, lender lead forms or disguised advertorial. If advertising or affiliate relationships are added, disclosures must be close to the commercial link. Payment must not control a formula, conclusion or inclusion.

Readers can verify these standards through the public calculation methodology, inspect the working calculator library, and see the decision format used across the guide library.
