Editorial Standards

How we research, write, and publish

Our Commitment

The Intelligence Brief exists to help business owners and operators make informed decisions about AI adoption. Every piece of content we publish — from the daily brief to premium deep dives — is held to the same standard: it must be accurate, actionable, and honest about what we know and what we do not.

Research & Sources

We source information from official company announcements, peer-reviewed research, verified industry reports, and direct product testing. When we cite statistics, we link to the original source. When data is estimated or projected, we label it as such. We do not fabricate data points or present speculation as fact.

AI-Assisted Content

We use AI tools in our research and drafting process. All AI-generated content is reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by our editorial team before publication. AI assists with research synthesis and initial drafts; final editorial judgment, source verification, and quality control are human responsibilities.

Tool Reviews & Recommendations

When we review or recommend AI tools, we disclose our evaluation criteria (cost, ease of use, accuracy, integration complexity). If we have an affiliate relationship with a product we mention, we disclose it. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial assessment — we recommend tools based on merit, and we include tools we are not affiliated with when they are the better choice.

Corrections

If we publish an error, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted at the top of the affected article or issue. If you spot an error, please contact us at [email protected].

Estimated vs. Verified Claims

Throughout our content, we distinguish between verified results (confirmed by the source or independently validated) and estimated results (based on reported outcomes, industry benchmarks, or reasonable projections). We label each accordingly so readers can calibrate their expectations.
