Editorial Standards and AI Use | Vault Daily

How Vault Daily uses automated research and publishing, distinguishes sources from tests, and corrects unsupported claims.

Vault Daily uses an AI-assisted autonomous publishing system for research, drafting, review and publication. The review stage is automated, not a guarantee that a human editor verified every statement. Earlier claims to the contrary are withdrawn.

Evidence before precision

Material factual claims should be linked to primary sources and checked in their proper scope: product, plan, region, time period and units. Calculations should expose their inputs. A source URL alone does not prove a claim; the document must actually support it. Unavailable evidence should lead to a narrower claim or a withheld draft.

Tests, examples and images

Do not describe generated examples as real customers or transactions. A hypothetical calculation must be labelled. An editorial illustration is not a screenshot or proof of product use. Real testing requires the records described in our evaluation standard; unsupported historic scores are withdrawn.

Commercial context

The site includes commercial or promotional links and some pages have advertising/tracking integrations. Readers should not infer independence, a lack of financial relationships or a guarantee of impartiality from a review format. Earlier blanket claims of reader-only funding and no sponsorships were not substantiated. See the ownership and funding notice.

Corrections and accountability

Material corrections should say what was wrong, what changed and what supports the replacement. They are recorded on our corrections page. We do not promise a response deadline or a level of human review that has not been operationally verified.
