Editorial Policy

Useful content earns trust through evidence, clear limitations, and accountable review.

Last updated June 18, 2026

Human review before publication

AI may assist with outlining, drafting, formatting, or language cleanup. AI-generated drafts are not intended to publish automatically. A reviewer must check clarity, factual claims, links, examples, metadata, and tool relevance before a post is marked published.

Sources and claims

We prefer primary sources, official documentation, recognized standards, and directly reproducible calculations. We do not invent testimonials, credentials, usage statistics, tests, or product experience. Material uncertainty and estimates should be labeled.

Marine content

Marine guides and calculators are educational aids. Reviewers should distinguish formulas from regulatory interpretations and link to applicable authorities where available. Content never replaces a vessel's procedures, approved passage plan, company guidance, or competent professional judgment.

Updates and corrections

Articles may be updated when tools, standards, or source material change. Substantive corrections should update the visible modified date. Readers can report a problem through the issue form.
