Editorial policy

The rules KumoCart uses for factual accuracy, AI-assisted drafting, corrections, commercial independence, and bilingual publishing.

KumoCart uses AI for research organisation, outline exploration, consistency checks, and draft assistance. AI output is never treated as a source.

Publication gate

A public article must answer one reader decision, cite traceable sources, distinguish facts from inference, avoid invented experience, and state important limitations. Drafts that do not meet that gate remain unpublished and are excluded from search, feeds, and the sitemap.

Corrections

Material corrections update the visible page date and change log. Quiet typo fixes do not. We do not delete an inconvenient earlier claim from history when the change affects the reader’s decision.

Bilingual publishing

English and Simplified Chinese pages are separate editorial products linked by a stable translation key. Chinese pages may change examples, structure, currencies, or regional caveats. A missing translation does not generate a thin placeholder or a false hreflang link.

Commercial independence

Affiliate status is stored separately from product suitability. Non-affiliate tools may rank first. Paid placement, if ever introduced, will be visually labelled and cannot purchase an editorial conclusion.
