Editorial Policy

Editorial responsibility

Francisco approves published guidance

Francisco Leon de Vivero is responsible for the editorial position published under his name. Research and production tools can assist the work, but publication requires human review. A tool cannot approve factual claims, advice, translations, or disclosures on his behalf.

Research

Evidence before drafting

Material claims should be checked against current primary sources whenever those sources are available. Official documentation, public datasets, named studies, original pages, and direct product evidence take priority over summaries. Links are placed near the claim they support so a reader can inspect the source.

When a statement depends on an inference or practitioner judgment, the copy should identify that boundary instead of presenting the conclusion as a confirmed fact.

AI-assisted work

Drafting, translation, and quality gates

SEOFrancisco may use AI for research organization, draft comparison, translation support, image concepts, and video production. Article candidates pass a manual AI-isms review and a programmatic check before publication. The editor then checks sources, figures, links, meaning, tone, and English to Spanish parity.

AI output is treated as an unverified candidate. Unsupported claims, copied phrasing, invented examples, or a translation that changes the meaning are grounds for rejection.

Public-interest content

Human review and disclosure records

Content that informs readers about laws, platform policies, public decisions, safety, or another matter of public interest receives a documented human review before publication. The record identifies the reviewer, date, sources, AI involvement, and any synthetic media.

Where applicable law requires a public AI disclosure, the notice appears with the relevant article or media. Human editorial control is recorded rather than assumed from the presence of a byline.

Images, audio, and video

Synthetic media review

Realistic media created or materially altered with AI is labelled when a viewer could reasonably mistake it for an authentic event, recording, or photograph. A video that uses Francisco's approved AI avatar or synthetic voice receives a visible notice. Editorial diagrams and clearly illustrative graphics are reviewed for accuracy and labelled when context requires it.

Corrections

Updates and reader reports

Corrections should preserve the accurate record without hiding a material error. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made silently. A factual change that affects the conclusion should update the page date and include an explanatory note when the earlier error could have influenced a reader's decision.

Send a correction request with the URL and supporting evidence to [email protected].

Commercial relationships

Independence and disclosure

A paid placement, affiliate relationship, supplied product, client relationship, or other material connection should be disclosed near the relevant claim or recommendation. Editorial conclusions are not sold as guaranteed rankings or endorsements.
