Trust and editorial method
Useful AI guidance should show its work.
AI Amigos separates historical provenance, current testing, named review, and production proof so a visitor can see exactly what has—and has not—been verified.
Publication gate
- Define one distinct job to be done and intended audience.
- Use at least two authoritative external sources; prefer primary evidence.
- Provide actionable steps, a worked example, limitations, and a practical artifact.
- Name the author, reviewer, review date, next review date, and substantive changes.
- Require explicit human approval before editorial publication.
Review intervals
- 90 days: vendors, products, careers, and versioned technical guides.
- 180 days: evergreen foundations.
- Gated review: healthcare, finance, safety, credentials, or other high-stakes claims.
Status language
- Source-preserved
- The historical route and publication date remain, but the page has not passed the new evidence gate.
- Reviewed
- A named reviewer, current sources, limitations, and a next-review date are visible.
- Last tested
- The described workflow was rerun on the displayed date and the expected output was checked.
Corrections and disclosure
Send corrections, broken-tool reports, or source suggestions through contact actions. Material corrections are dated in the page change log. AI may help prepare drafts and checks; a person must approve publication. Funding, affiliate, vendor, or product relationships must be disclosed on the affected page.
