·/How this is written

The editorial process, without the euphemisms.

Writing is AI-assisted, and a person is accountable

Articles are drafted with AI assistance from primary-source research, then verified separately and reviewed by a person before publication. The author persona is a topical-authority signal for a body of work, not a claim that one individual typed every sentence.

Tax numbers never come from model memory

Every tax figure resolves to a fact registry entry with a jurisdiction, a tax year, an official source, and a review date. A number without that provenance does not publish.

Generation never outruns verification

Tax facts, pricing, competitor claims, integration claims and security claims are generated and verified by different processes. Nothing in those classes publishes autonomously.

The reviewer role is open, and we are not pretending otherwise

A named CPA or EA reviewer for tax content and a named security reviewer for security content are required by our own standard and are not yet appointed. Until they are, tax and security articles carry their sources and their review dates, and no article claims a professional review that has not happened.
