Editorial standards and corrections

A transparent team byline

Articulated Editorial Team is an organizational byline. It identifies the team responsible for Articulated's editorial content; it is not the name of a single person and does not imply that a coach, clinician, or other credentialed expert wrote or reviewed an article.

Sources and factual claims

Our publication standard is to prefer primary research, government and university sources, recognized professional organizations, official product documentation, and current app store listings. A link should support the claim beside it, not merely discuss the same general topic. AI output is never treated as a factual source.

Advice based on judgment or practical experience should be presented as guidance rather than settled scientific fact. Clinical speech, mental-health, or medical concerns should be distinguished from general communication coaching and should direct readers to qualified care when appropriate.

AI-assisted drafting and translation

Articulated may use AI-assisted tools to help organize research, outline, translate, or prepare draft language. Those tools are not authors, reviewers, or sources. Our publication standard is that a team member remains accountable for checking source support, product facts, links, disclosures, and final copy before publication.

Expert and clinical review

We do not label content as medically, clinically, or expertly reviewed unless a real, appropriately qualified person has reviewed that specific article and agreed to be identified. When present, the reviewer's name, relevant qualification, and review date should appear on the article. We do not invent credentials or use a team byline as a substitute for expert review.

Product comparisons

Articulated makes the product named in our comparison articles, and comparisons should disclose that relationship clearly. We aim to describe alternatives from current official listings, documentation, pricing pages, and attributable public evidence. We distinguish hands-on testing from information gathered from public sources and do not claim firsthand use unless it occurred. Volatile facts such as pricing, platform support, and feature availability should include an as-of date and be reviewed when the article is updated.

First-party data and privacy

When we publish findings from Articulated usage, we use privacy-safe aggregate summaries and explain important limits on the sample. We do not publish private recordings, transcripts, account identifiers, or session-level records as editorial evidence. First-party benchmarks should not be presented as a representative population survey unless the study design supports that claim.

Updates and corrections

We correct material factual errors when we find them and update an article's date when a substantive revision changes what a reader should rely on. Small copy edits do not necessarily change the displayed date. A substantial correction should be explained on the article when silently changing it could mislead readers.

To report an error, email support@articulated.app with the page URL, the statement you believe is wrong, and a source or explanation that helps us verify it.
