The studio / Our standards
Useful work starts
with trust.
Show where information comes from.
Release coverage links to official announcements and documentation. Vendor claims are attributed. Sources are checked at publication, and dates are made visible where details may change.
Be clear about what was actually tried.
A hands-on article must describe the task, product, relevant plan or settings, date, and result. It must include limitations and what required human intervention. A suggested exercise or an announcement summary is not presented as a completed test.
Keep opinion recognisable.
An explanation of a documented feature, an observed result, and a prediction are different kinds of statement. Opinion pieces should make their reasoning clear and leave room for uncertainty.
Make commercial interests visible.
Sponsorship, affiliate links, free access, and other material relationships must be disclosed alongside the relevant content. Commercial partners do not buy a favourable conclusion or approval of editorial judgments.
Use AI with human responsibility.
AI can assist with drafting, organisation, and production. The editor remains responsible for checking sources, claims, and the published result. Generated examples and illustrations must not be presented as real customer evidence or test results.
Correct material mistakes openly.
Readers can report errors to kris@yorkstudio.io. Material corrections should state what changed and when. Outdated material should be updated or clearly marked; older articles are not silently turned into evidence for new claims.
