Guidances policy
Editorial Standards
Updated June 2, 2026
Guidances is designed for accountable editorial workflows: source review first, AI assistance second, and corrections visible when material changes are needed.
Accuracy
High-impact claims should be checked against credible sources before publication. Stories about named people, securities, elections, health, legal claims, disasters, or crime must pass stricter automated source-depth, reputation-safety, and legal-ethics gates before broad public distribution, with manual escalation available when the system cannot safely proceed.
Editorial accountability
The Guidances Editorial Desk is accountable for published editorial policy, corrections, privacy, rights, safety, and reader support. Contact contact@cgcorp.io with the article URL and supporting context when a report needs review.
Sources
Articles should preserve source URLs, collection context, and fact-check notes. Guidances should not reproduce full third-party articles or replace paywalled reporting.
Visual integrity
Generated images should avoid identifiable private people, exact logos, copyrighted characters, fabricated evidence, and misleading charts. Diagrams should explain relationships or workflows and should not invent numeric data.
Corrections
Material corrections should be recorded through article updates. If a story may cause harm while under review, it should be unpublished until reviewed.
