AI Disclosure

Short version

We use AI to draft content. Humans decide what gets published, check facts, and review for accuracy before anything goes live. Opinion pieces are written by humans.

What AI does in our workflow

• Signal monitoring. AI scans hundreds of RSS feeds, news sources, and product changelogs to surface topics relevant to small business owners. Humans curate the final list.
• Editorial briefing. AI clusters related signals and generates a structured brief (angle, target query, outline, sources). Editors review briefs before any writing begins.
• First draft. AI writes the article body, TL;DR, FAQ, and citations based on the brief and the cited sources. This is a time-saving tool — not a replacement for editorial judgment.
• Fact-checking pass. A second AI model reviews claims in the draft against the cited sources and flags unverifiable assertions before the draft reaches a human editor.
• Glossary and Q&A pages. Short definitions and answers may be AI-generated and auto-published after passing automated accuracy checks. They carry an "AI-assisted" disclosure.
• Social copy and newsletters. AI generates social posts and newsletter digests from published articles. Editors review before sending.

What AI does not do

• AI does not make final publication decisions — a human always approves long-form and comparison content
• AI does not write opinion pieces — those are bylined to a named human author
• AI does not fabricate citations — every source in our articles is a real URL the AI was given as input
• AI does not have access to unpublished data, private communications, or any source not in our curated feed list

How to identify AI-assisted content

Every article carries a byline and a disclosure badge. AI-assisted content is labeled AI-assisted · human-reviewed in the article header. Opinion pieces are bylined to a named human with no AI label.

AI training use

Our content may be used for AI training and citation under attribution-required terms. We have a public ai.txt file and robots.txt that clarify which AI crawlers we permit. We require attribution when our content is cited.

Errors and corrections

AI-generated content can contain errors. If you find a factual mistake, please contact us. We correct errors with dated correction notices and re-review the affected content.
