Editorial Policy & Fact-Checking Standards

At ServiceFind Blog, our reputation rests on scientific veracity, technical precision, and practical safety. This document details our operating standards for author qualification, source selection, and commercial independence.

1. Author & Reviewer Qualifications (E-E-A-T)

Articles addressing mechanical systems, high-voltage electrical, structural framing, or chemical safety are authored by certified tradespeople, licensed master mechanics, or building analysts. Furthermore, technical articles undergo peer review by independent engineers or licensed contractors before publication.

2. Mandatory Primary Source Citations

We do not cite competitors, affiliate content farms, or unverified blog posts. All factual statements regarding building performance, indoor air quality, thermal dynamics, or municipal permits must cite:

• Peer-reviewed biomedical and environmental literature indexed in PubMed / NIH.
• Statutory model building codes: IRC, IBC, IECC, NEC (NFPA 70), and UPC.
• Accredited standards bodies: ASHRAE, ACCA, ASTM, IAPMO, and OSHA.
• Official municipal inspectional services and licensing departments.

3. Artificial Intelligence Policy

We believe in responsible AI transparency. AI may assist our research staff with code cross-referencing, semantic clustering, and draft summaries. However:

• AI is strictly prohibited from publishing autonomously.
• AI is never permitted to fabricate contractor profiles, reviews, license numbers, or local project histories.
• Every published piece must be reviewed and signed off by a named human editor.

4. Advertising & Lead Disclosure

ServiceFind Blog maintains absolute editorial separation from commercial partnerships. When we recommend seeking a "Fair Quote," the recommendation is made because the scope of work exceeds safe DIY boundaries, never because a vendor paid for placement.
