We believe readers deserve to know how content is made.

Articles are AI-drafted and automatically checked

Unless a page says otherwise, articles on this site are researched and drafted by an AI system and checked by automated software. A person does not review each article before it’s published.

Before an article can be published automatically, it must pass all of these checks:

  • Source quotes: every factual statement must cite a source. The software fetches each cited page and confirms that the quoted text actually appears on it. Calculations are recomputed, and links and dates are checked.
  • Originality and quality: the article is compared with our other articles and with its source pages to catch duplicates and copied text. It is also checked for readability, the required safety notices and basic SEO.
  • Banned claims: the software blocks invented experience, crew or customer stories, testimonials, guarantees, unsourced “best” claims and invented statistics.
  • A second AI review: a separate AI reviewer that took no part in drafting reads the article and records a verdict on each claim. It can stop an article from being published. It cannot override a failed automated check.
  • Ongoing re-checks: published articles are re-checked on a schedule. If a safety statement is no longer supported by its official source, the article is taken down right away while it’s fixed. Other problems are fixed or the article is withdrawn after repeated failed checks.

Automated checks can’t judge nuance the way an expert can. Always follow official instructions from your county emergency management office, the National Weather Service and the product manufacturer.

When articles publish automatically, and when a person decides

Fixed rules sort every article into one of three risk levels (rules version risk-v3). The level decides whether it can publish on its own:

  • Low risk: publishes automatically. It publishes only after it passes the automated fact-check against its cited sources, the originality and quality checks, and an independent review by a separate AI system. No person reviews each low-risk article before it’s published. New articles go out at most 1 per day and 5 per week for the first 30 days after launch, then at most 2 per day and 10 per week.
  • Medium risk: waits for an owner spot-check. An article is medium risk if it tells readers to do a hazardous do-it-yourself task (climbing a ladder or getting on the roof, using a chainsaw, pressure washer or power tools, cutting down a tree, mixing chemicals, or repairing, replacing or installing a roof, water heater, AC unit, plumbing, pipes or drywall) and that step doesn’t cite an official source such as a government agency or university extension. A sentence that only tells readers not to climb, cut or mix something doesn’t count. A medium-risk article doesn’t publish until Prince Jast, the site owner, has spot-checked that exact version.
  • High risk: needs a qualified person and the owner. Articles on insurance, legal rules, tax, HOA/condo rules, landlord-tenant and deposit rules, permits and building codes, financial topics, medical advice, electrical/gas/structural work, mold remediation procedures, prices or rates, claims about a named business, and contract and warranty terms are never published automatically. They need a review by a qualified, licensed person and the owner’s release. Any page that has had that kind of review says so.
  • Corrections and withdrawals. Published articles are re-checked automatically on a schedule. If a safety statement is no longer supported by its official source, the article is taken down right away while it’s fixed. Other problems are fixed, or the article is withdrawn after repeated failed checks. You can also report an error through our corrections page.

What AI is not used for

  • Inventing facts, statistics, quotes, reviews, test results, credentials or personal experiences
  • Naming reviewers or experts who didn’t review a page
  • Describing first-hand or crew experience. BluePalm Cleaning Co. has no hurricane-cleanup jobs to report, and the site doesn’t claim any.

Responsibility

Prince Jast owns this site and is responsible for its content and for the rules the automated system follows. He decides when automated publishing is switched on, and he can pause it at any time.
