Trust and transparency

Letomix Editorial Policy

How we choose topics, work with sources, use AI, verify claims, and correct published content. The goal is to give readers a clear, honest answer—not simply fill a page with search terms.

Why this policy exists

Good content should help a reader make a decision

A page is useful not because it is long or well optimized, but because the reader understands the options, limitations, and next step.

Practical value

The page answers a concrete question, explains an action, or helps compare realistic options.

Verifiability

Important claims should be supported by a source, a recorded observation, or a documented test.

Honest boundaries

We explain what was checked, when it was checked, and where a conclusion may not apply.

SEO helps readers find an article. It should not decide what is true inside it.

Keywords may shape a headline, structure, or wording. They are not a reason to invent a product, exaggerate testing, or repeat the same point simply to increase length.

Editorial workflow

How an idea becomes a published page

A short instruction and a large comparison require different amounts of work, but the underlying sequence should remain clear.

Define the question

Identify the task the page should solve and the answer the reader needs.

Build the source base

Review official documentation, terms, the interface, and relevant alternatives.

Plan the check

Decide what can be tested directly and which conditions need to be recorded.

Prepare the draft

Separate confirmed data, test results, editorial conclusions, and hypotheses.

Review the page

Check links, prices, limitations, logic, and whether the content matches the headline.

Publish and maintain

Record the review date and revisit the page when meaningful changes occur.

Claim status

Facts, tests, and editorial conclusions are treated differently

This avoids creating the impression that every sentence carries the same level of evidence.

Fact

Verifiable information

A price, limit, feature, rule, or other detail that can be checked against a reliable source.

Test result

Recorded observation

A result obtained under described conditions: version, plan, settings, date, and test inputs.

Conclusion

Editorial assessment

An interpretation of facts and tests, such as who a tool suits and when a limitation becomes important.

Hypothesis

Possible explanation

An idea that appears plausible but has not yet been supported by enough evidence.

Reviews and roundups

How comparisons and recommendations are assembled

A roundup should not become an affiliate storefront or a contest based only on feature counts.

The topic determines inclusion

Products are selected for relevance to the task and comparison conditions—not only for brand recognition or affiliate availability.

Criteria are explained

Readers should understand why one option received an advantage and which factors shaped the conclusion.

Important weaknesses remain visible

A review should identify meaningful limitations and situations in which the product is not a good choice.

Sources and verification

Which evidence we prioritize

The best source depends on the claim. An official price and the quality of a real output require different forms of evidence.

Primary sources

Official documentation

Pricing pages, help centers, terms, privacy policies, release notes, and statements from the product developer.

Direct checks

The interface and test scenario

Observed product behavior, results from prepared inputs, and performance under recorded conditions.

External context

Reliable secondary sources

Used when they add meaningful context, but they do not replace official terms or a direct product check.

Important: a lack of confirmation does not automatically prove a claim false. It does mean the claim should not be published as an established fact without a clear qualification.
Use of AI

AI can support the workflow, but it does not replace editorial responsibility

AI systems may speed up individual steps, but published content should still receive human review.

Organizing research

AI may help group questions, build an outline, and identify claims that need further verification.

Draft support

It may suggest wording, reduce repetition, and help adapt a page naturally for another language.

Technical checks

AI may help surface inconsistencies, missing links, or potential errors that are then verified.

No invented experience

Generated text must not turn documentation review into a claimed hands-on test.

No fabricated sources

Nonexistent quotes, links, studies, product features, and test results are not acceptable.

No unchecked publication

Responsibility for facts, sources, conclusions, and final wording remains with the Letomix author.

Updates and corrections

What happens when information changes or an error is found

Digital products frequently change prices, features, and limits. A recent date alone does not guarantee current information.

Factual error

Corrected after verification

An inaccurate price, name, link, technical statement, or other verifiable error is corrected without waiting for a scheduled review.

Product change

The conclusion is reconsidered

When an update affects the recommendation, the page should be reviewed—not merely patched by changing one number.

Substantial revision

The date changes for a reason

The review date is updated after a meaningful revision of the content, sources, or testing—not simply to create an appearance of freshness.

English and Russian pages are edited separately

Both versions should preserve the same central conclusion and rely on the same evidence. Headlines, examples, and phrasing are adapted to the language and real search intent rather than translated mechanically word for word.

Commercial transparency

Advertising and affiliate relationships do not buy an editorial conclusion

Some pages may contain advertising or affiliate links. These relationships should be disclosed and do not guarantee inclusion, a high ranking, a positive conclusion, or the removal of meaningful criticism.

Trust begins with clarity

Readers should be able to see what supports every important conclusion
