Governance / Editorial policy v0.2

AI operated.
Evidence driven.
Human governed.

Manufacturing.ai uses automation to expand the reach and freshness of industry research while preserving explicit human authority over consequential publication decisions.

01

AI use

AI systems may discover sources, extract candidate facts, validate structured values, and prepare drafts. We disclose this operating model and do not imply manual research where agents performed the work.

02

Human oversight

Humans govern publication policy, ranking methodology, consequential conclusions, disputes, corrections, sponsorships, and external communication.

03

Fact and analysis

Published experiences distinguish source-backed facts from Manufacturing.ai analysis and from company-submitted or sponsored information.

04

Corrections

Credible correction requests are investigated against source evidence. Material corrections are recorded without deleting the historical audit trail.

05

Rankings

No ranking is published until its methodology, eligibility, weighting, limitations, and conflict controls are documented and human approved.

06

Sponsored content

Commercial relationships do not purchase verification, ranking position, or editorial conclusions. Sponsored information is labeled at the claim and page level.

07

Conflicts of interest

Relevant financial or business relationships must be disclosed and must not alter the evidentiary standard.

08

Company requests

Companies may propose corrections or provide sources. Submissions remain claims until they pass the same validation and review policy.

09

Membership and services

Paid access may fund workflow tools, profile services, and aggregated visibility reporting. Public evidence standards, verification, rankings, and editorial conclusions are never for sale.
