Editorial Policy
Groundy publishes analysis pieces about developer tools, infrastructure, platform economics, and the regulatory shifts touching them. This page sets out how each piece is sourced, produced, and corrected.
Sourcing
Every article cites its sources with footnoted references. Citations link to
the primary or most authoritative source available. Sources are tagged
primary, vendor, analysis, or
community so readers can see what kind of evidence each claim is
leaning on.
Production
Each piece passes through a layered editorial review before publishing. Deterministic structural guards run first — banned-phrase detection, footnote coverage on numerical claims, lead concreteness, length budgets, and title/slug rules. Multiple review passes follow, looking at framing, accuracy against sources, and whether the piece earns its conclusions. A final approval gate sits at the end. Nothing reaches the site without clearing all of them.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, the affected article is updated in place. A
## Corrections note is added near the top of the piece describing
the change, and where the correction is material, the article is republished
with a refreshed timestamp.
What we don't do
No original reporting, no embargoed access, no advance copies, no off-the-record sources. Groundy works entirely from public information. We don't accept compensation or comp products. We don't run sponsored content. We don't predict markets or recommend investments.
