Neutrality & Bias Mitigation MANDATORY

Update Cadence Resolution SCHEDULED
Static topics reviewed biannually. Fast-moving fields (AI, medicine, policy) undergo quarterly audit cycles. Breaking developments trigger emergency review within 72 hours.
Three-Tier Verification Framework STANDARD

- Tier 2: Subject-matter editor cross-check against primary sources
- Tier 3: Peer review by external academic board for high-impact topics
Source Transparency Resolution CORE
Every factual claim must link to an accessible primary or secondary source. Paywalled content is only accepted if accompanied by archival DOI or institutional repository link. Preprints are clearly flagged.
High-Resolution Asset Mandate TECH
All diagrams, infographics, and historical photographs are sourced or rendered at minimum 1920px width. 4K/8K vector formats available for institutional partners.
Accessibility & WCAG 2.2 AA COMPLIANCE
- Complete alt-text coverage for all visual media
- Screen-reader optimized table structures and ARIA labels
- Color contrast ratios ≥ 4.5:1 across all UI states
