PUBLICATION STANDARDS
Preparation, sources and corrections.
Updated October 28, 2026. This policy explains what our publication byline means and how to raise a concern.
AI-assisted preparation
Our guides use AI-assisted drafting and editing. They are practical educational material, not original clinical research or reports of personally conducted field tests. Examples are illustrative unless a page explicitly explains otherwise. A publication byline does not imply review by a named human specialist.
Specific usefulness
A guide should identify a reader problem, describe concrete steps and make its limits clear. Repeated generic passages do not add evidence. On October 28, 2026, we revised the article collection to replace repeated passages with topic-specific examples and checklists.
Sources and uncertainty
Where a guide makes a factual claim that depends on research, relevant background reading should be identified. We prefer primary sources and official guidance. Sources may support the surrounding context without validating a proposed routine. We distinguish an optional experiment from a proven intervention and do not invent qualifications, quotations or personal experience.
Health and money boundaries
Our pages do not provide individualized medical, legal, investment, tax or debt advice. Changing symptoms, essential financial obligations and other consequential decisions may require a qualified professional. A checklist should not delay urgent help or override professional instructions.
Corrections
Send a page URL, the passage and a reliable source or explanation to thelivedmanual@gmail.com. Material corrections should be identified on the affected page with an update date. Minor wording and formatting changes may be made without a separate note.
Commercial relationships
Advertising and affiliate relationships must be disclosed clearly. They do not turn a paid placement into an editorial recommendation. See our advertising disclosure and privacy information.
