  • Writing: Content is written to be practical and accessible, with safety and regulatory considerations highlighted where relevant.
  • Fact checking: Editors check facts and citations against original sources before publication.

AI assistance

We may use AI tools to help with drafting, summarizing long documents, or checking readability. When AI is used, outputs are reviewed and edited by human editors before publication. AI is a support tool, not a substitute for human review or source verification.
