Editorial Policy

This policy explains how Pocket Dispatch approaches sourcing, editing, AI-assisted drafting, corrections, and content maintenance across the public site.

Sourcing standard

Pocket Dispatch prioritizes primary materials whenever practical: official announcements, documentation, regulator releases, research papers, and first-party statements. Commentary can be used for context, but major claims should remain traceable to a source path the editor can inspect directly.

Review process

Drafts may be assisted by internal tooling, but publication is a human-reviewed step. Editors are responsible for checking claims, preserving caveats, tightening headlines, and deciding whether a draft is ready to publish, revise, or discard.

AI use in drafting

AI tools may assist with summarization, structuring, and rewrite support. They are not treated as authoritative sources. If a model-generated sentence cannot be supported during review, it should be rewritten or removed before publication.

Corrections policy

If a published page contains a material factual error, Pocket Dispatch aims to correct it promptly and note the update when the correction changes reader understanding. Correction requests can be sent to editor@pocketdispatch.co.

Update policy

Published guides and public issue pages may be updated when the underlying workflow, product surface, or source landscape changes materially. Where possible, updated pages show a visible last-updated date so readers can evaluate freshness.
