How We Work
How shaam.blog researches, sources, verifies, and discloses AI use - our editorial standards, freshness policy, and corrections.
## Our promise
shaam.blog helps you understand and actually use AI - with answers that are **practical, sourced, and kept up to date**. We would rather publish fewer pieces we can stand behind than flood you with noise.
## How we research and write
We are an AI-assisted publication: **AI agents do the research, drafting, and structuring**, and **a human editor reviews, fact-checks, and approves** every published article. AI is the engine; human oversight and clear sourcing are the brakes and the steering.
## Our sourcing standard
- Every factual claim links to a **primary source** - official documentation, a vendor's own pricing page, the research paper, the product release, or a regulatory filing.
- We label how solid a claim is: **Confirmed**, **Reported**, **Vendor claim**, or **Rumored**.
- Numbers carry attribution and a date. We flag vendor or self-reported figures as such.
## "Last verified" and freshness
AI changes fast, and so do prices, limits, and model versions. Every article shows a **"Last verified" date**, and we re-check time-sensitive facts on a schedule. When something changes, we update the article and note it in its log.
## Corrections
We make mistakes; we fix them in the open. Every article has an **Updates & Corrections** log, and our **Accuracy Ledger** lists notable corrections over time. Spot an error? Email hello@shaam.blog.
## Independence
When we recommend tools, the recommendation is earned on merit. Some links may be affiliate links that help fund our work; **they never change our verdict**, and we disclose them.
## What we do not do
- We do not fabricate authors, headshots, or bios - our editor is a real, named person.
- We do not publish hype as fact; we separate demos from what actually ships.
- We do not republish press releases without adding verification, context, or a verdict.
## Languages
We publish in English first and offer translations so you can read in your language. Our most important guides are localized by hand; quick machine translations are clearly marked.
