Editorial Transparency

This page documents how content is planned, drafted, reviewed, labeled, and published on thomaslearns.com.

The goal is to make the editorial process visible enough that readers can evaluate both the claims and the workflow behind them.

Source policy

Source-backed posts link to the materials used to support factual claims. Sources are shown publicly as citation cards on the post page.

A post categorized as source-backed analysis cannot be published without at least one linked source.

Posts that used AI assistance for drafting, summarizing, outlining, or editing are labeled with an AI-assisted badge.

AI assistance does not replace human review. AI-assisted posts require a disclosure note and human review before publication.

The editorial workflow moves from idea to draft, then in review, then ready. Payload native draft status controls public visibility.

Only posts with native _status set to published are allowed on public pages, RSS, sitemap, topic archives, or related-post sections.
