Editorial Policy

Publish fewer pages, but make every published page defensible.

This project covers playful topics, but the publishing standard still matters. The site should not ship pages that are repetitive, empty, or only nominally different from one another. Editorial quality is defined by how much a visitor can actually learn or do after landing on a page.

Usefulness over volume

The site should earn each page it publishes. More URLs do not help if they dilute clarity, originality, or trust.

Transparent framing

Quizzes and guides need to say what they are, what they are not, and what a reader should reasonably do next.

Original interpretation

A page needs more than a broad topic summary. It should add a perspective, a structure, or a decision framework that is specific to the page.

Retire weak content fast

If a page is thin or too uniform, it should leave the published surface instead of lingering in the sitemap and navigation.

Editorial checklist before a page stays published

  • Would a visitor understand the page's purpose within the first screen?
  • Does the page add interpretation or guidance beyond a headline-level summary?
  • Are there internal links that help the visitor continue logically through the site?
  • Would the page still feel worth reading if the quiz result itself were removed?
  • Is the writing specific enough that it could not be confused with a dozen near-duplicate pages?

AI and drafting policy

Drafting tools can help with structure, but they are not a license to publish interchangeable content. Pages still need human editorial judgment, stronger framing, and visible usefulness before they belong in the public set. If a page reads like a template with nouns swapped out, it should not stay live.

Corrections and maintenance

Content maintenance matters just as much as first publication. If a page becomes misleading, too thin, or too generic, the correct move is revision or removal from the published surface. This applies especially to guide pages that look broad but do not actually deliver unique insight.

Keep live

Pages that answer a clear user need, connect to the rest of the site, and offer concrete next steps.

Pull back

Pages that exist mainly to multiply keywords or that repeat the same framework with only superficial topic swaps.
