Editorial guidelines
What we publish (and what we don’t)
- Tell the truth. The struggles are the story — don't sanitize them.
- Specifics over slogans. Numbers, dates, names of tools, exact decisions.
- No pitches. We won't publish thinly-veiled product pages.
- You keep editorial veto. Nothing ships without your final approval.
