Editorial policy

Automated checks flag issues; accountable people make editorial decisions.

Automated checks flag issues; accountable people make editorial decisions.

What gets published

  • Original, accurate articles about a genuine change detected on a Madison Labs property.
  • Stories that pass the compliance gate: no advice framing, facts separated from speculation, sources credited.
  • Analysis and sentiment clearly labeled and distinct from factual reporting.

What never runs

  • Invented figures, misleading claims, or thin restatements with nothing new to say.
  • Personalized recommendations, advice framing, or promotional placements of any kind.
  • Anything that fails a compliance check: flagged drafts wait for a human decision.

Human decision

Automated checks flag risk; the admin review console lets a human approve, revise, or unpublish the exact version in question. Automatic publishing, where enabled, applies only to articles that pass every gate, and material edits create a new version for review.
