Editorial Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026 — v1.0

Mission

Apex publishes tested, cited, human-written stories. No AI farms. No fake metrics. Real authors, real evidence.

How content is created

  • All articles have a named human author with a public profile: photo, bio, credentials, social links.
  • “I tested” claims require first-hand evidence: dated screenshots, receipts (sensitive data blurred), exact amounts, methodology section.
  • We cite primary sources with live links: regulators, official apps, court filings, peer-reviewed studies.
  • AI tools may assist drafting / grammar, but a human editor fact-checks every published piece. We do not publish unedited AI output.

Fact-checking

  • Financial rates / fees verified same-day with screenshots.
  • News / politics: minimum 2 independent reputable sources, linked inline.
  • YMYL topics (money, health, legal, immigration) are reviewed by a subject-qualified editor before publish.

Corrections

We fix verified errors within 24 hours. Every substantive change gets a public correction note at the bottom of the article with date and what changed. See Corrections log.

Sponsored / affiliate content

  • All affiliate links are clearly disclosed at the top of the article.
  • Sponsored posts are labeled “Sponsored” and use rel="sponsored".
  • Sponsors never see copy before publish and cannot alter test results.
  • We do not do “pay for positive review”.

Author qualifications (E-E-A-T)

  • Experience: show proof you did the thing.
  • Expertise: financial / health / legal articles by qualified authors only.
  • Authoritativeness: real bylines, credentials, external references.
  • Trustworthiness: contact info, corrections, privacy policy, HTTPS, last-updated dates.

Updating articles

Time-sensitive guides show “Published” + “Last updated” dates. We review remittance / visa / pricing content at least quarterly.

Comment moderation

Comments are pre-moderated for spam / hate. Real discussion is welcome. Fake engagement is not.

AI / LLM disclosure

We optimize for clarity so humans and AI crawlers can trust our content: structured data, citations, real authors, clean HTML. We do not cloak or hide text from crawlers.
