Pre-launch framework

This page describes the current preview and the checks required before a public launch. It is not a completed legal or operational policy.

Use original evidence

We prefer original rules, developer documentation, regulator publications, and other primary material. Important claims need a source location, the actual date checked, and any relevant version or configuration.

A standard describes requirements within its stated scope; it does not prove that a particular game passed testing. A rule from one state or the United Kingdom is not presented as a rule for every U.S. reader. Inaccessible or incomplete evidence stays a recorded limitation.

Keep research and testing distinct

Reading documentation is not hands-on testing. A report of actual testing must identify the product and version, conditions, method, and observations. We do not invent sessions, player reviews, ratings, certifications, credentials, or authors.

Teaching examples must state their assumptions. A hypothetical return or prize distribution must never be labeled as a verified game parameter or a prediction.

AI assistance and human review

AI tools may help find sources, draft prose, calculate examples, and identify errors. A second AI check is still an AI check. Human approval is a separate decision about the final text, sources, diagrams, and disclosures.

The owner has made a separate publication decision for the initial four articles based on the documented AI checks. This does not mean the owner independently repeated those checks. Subsequent substantive changes need renewed review. Publication and update dates must reflect real events, not automatic rebuilds.

Corrections and unresolved questions

A useful correction identifies the article, the exact claim, and an original source or other inspectable evidence. The publisher should check the report, correct a verified error, and document a material change.

The public corrections channel is not active yet. It must be tested and assigned to a responsible person before launch; we make no current response-time or message-delivery promise.

Commercial independence

Ads and sponsored material must be visibly separate from editorial work. A referral relationship must be disclosed where a reader encounters the recommendation.

No commercial placements are active. Any future relationship requires its own business, legal, privacy, and editorial review.
