How the work earns your attention
Evidence before authority.
A clear example is useful. A clear account of what it does—and does not—show is what makes it trustworthy.
Show the work.
A practical guide should name the job, show the output, explain the input and teach the handoff. Prompts are supporting material, not proof that a workflow was executed. If a lesson is an adaptation rather than a tested integration, it should say so.
Keep the evidence labels straight.
- Original teaching example: material created to explain a method. It is not a customer story or a report of realized results.
- Documented by a source: something an original publisher, provider or founder states. Attribution does not make it independently verified.
- Modeled assumption: an input to a planning exercise. It is not a forecast, current market rate or guarantee.
- Tested behavior: a specific action that was actually exercised. It should not be expanded into a broader claim about performance.
Separate help from judgment.
AI can assist with research organization, drafting, coding and examples. Its output is not an independent source. A generated classification must not be described as a discovery when it was already present in the inputs. Business judgment and publication responsibility remain human responsibilities.
Use original sources.
Guides link the underlying provider pages, announcements or original reporting. A published service price establishes an asking price, not sales, profitability or the price a new founder can command. A founder’s revenue claim stays a founder-reported claim unless verified independently.
Make money claims legible.
Revenue, owner compensation, profit, recurring revenue and one-time sales are different. Economics examples should show costs and owner labor. Where a fee or tool price is a placeholder, keep that qualification next to the number.
Keep commercial promises bounded.
Do not advertise an unfinished course as available, a modeled offer as taking orders or a sample newsletter as a sent issue. No fabricated testimonials, subscriber counts, customer logos or personal experience belong on these pages.
Respect other people’s work.
Link to references. Attribute borrowed ideas and preserve licenses for reused software. Do not import paid lessons, substantial articles or distinctive assets as original work. The interface incorporates MIT-licensed AstroPaper foundations by Sat Naing; the license is included.
Review, corrections and currency.
A guide’s review date is when its content was reviewed, not a claim that every third-party workflow was retested that day. Tool-dependent instructions can change. Material corrections should be reflected in the guide and its downloadable companion together; an old output should not silently masquerade as a newly executed result.
