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.
standards
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 the 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.
No original reporting, no embargoed access, no advance copies, no off-the-record sources. Groundy works entirely from public information. No compensation, no comp products, no sponsored content. No market predictions or investment recommendations.
sources
Every article cites its sources in a numbered footer with footnoted body references. Each source links to the primary or most authoritative public version available and is tagged primary, vendor, analysis, or community so a reader can see what kind of evidence each claim is leaning on.
When a vendor announcement is the only source for a claim, we label it clearly and try to find a corroborating primary or community source before publishing. When we can't, we say so.
corrections

Where the correction is material, the article is republished with a refreshed updatedDate timestamp and the change shows in the article meta strip as updated ….
