How the guides are made

Proof you can read

From the site’s method page. The checks are automated; no human editor reviews the guides.

  1. Written from a claim store

    A language model drafts each guide only from claims in a verification store, each with a source and a confidence label.

  2. Blocked if it fails

    A grounding guard stops drafts with too little verified material; an independent judge, a different model, scores the draft and blocks it below the threshold.

  3. Read back and labelled

    Publishing is read back to confirm it landed. Every guide says it is AI-generated and was not reviewed by a human editor.
