Editorial Process

homesmartly publishes every article through this 8-step process.

1. Topic Selection

We analyze category-specific search trends and identify "data gaps" in top-10 SERPs — primary sources that competitors aren't citing.

2. Primary Source Collection

For every article we collect 8+ primary sources from academic databases (PubMed, SSRN), government filings, manufacturer specifications, and verified measurement publications (RTINGS, Wirecutter).

3. AI-Assisted Drafting

Drafts are written with AI assistance (Claude, ChatGPT) grounded in the collected sources. We do not insert personal opinions or experience-based testimonials.

4. Automated Source Verification

Every external URL is fetched automatically; cited statistics are cross-checked against the source page. Any failure puts the article on hold.

5. AI Detector Threshold

Articles must score below 30% on Originality.ai to publish. Above threshold triggers automatic rewriting.

6. Auto-Generated Visuals

Every article includes 5 visual assets (infographic, comparison table, data chart, diagram, product illustration) plus a 30-60 second summary video — all auto-generated.

7. Quarterly Re-Verification

Every quarter (Mar·Jun·Sep·Dec) all published articles are re-verified for source freshness. Price changes, updated statistics, and policy shifts trigger automatic updates.

8. Corrections Policy

Errors are corrected within 24 hours of discovery, with the correction logged inline. Reader corrections to editor@.
