01

Authorship and Review

Column articles are written by the SourceArk TechLab Research Team and reviewed by SourceArk Intelligent Technology. Authors are responsible for problem decomposition, research synthesis, and expression; reviewers are responsible for verifying publicly available facts, confirming the applicable scope of sources, defining the boundaries of brand capabilities, and assessing publication risk.

The author, reviewer, and last-updated date displayed on each page are drawn directly from the article's content file. Fictitious expert identities are not used, and AI tools are not listed as authors or reviewers.

02

Source Selection

For standards, regulatory requirements, and public methodologies, priority is given to primary pages published by the issuing body, competent authority, or standards organization. For third-party tool capabilities, the tool's official documentation is cited. For TechLab capabilities, only pages already publicly available on techlab.cool are cited.

External sources are used to support specific facts or to define methodological boundaries; their inclusion does not imply that the relevant organizations have any client, partnership, endorsement, or commercial relationship with SourceArk. In-text source numbers link back to the full source information at the bottom of the page.

03

AI Assistance Boundaries

AI may assist with clustering questions, organizing outlines, checking for repetitive phrasing, and generating lists of items requiring verification. It cannot replace human confirmation of sources, human judgment on the applicable scope of conclusions, or human decisions on whether to publish.

Customer data, project data, efficiency figures, ratios, monetary amounts, performance metrics, and commercial data that are not supported by publicly available evidence will not be presented as facts. Content used to illustrate how a process works will be explicitly labeled as a methodological example or assumption.

04

Updates and Corrections

Articles are reviewed and their page dates updated whenever there is a substantive change to a relevant standard, official documentation, publicly disclosed product capability, or the boundaries of a stated claim. Typographical corrections or layout adjustments alone do not indicate a change in conclusions.

If a factual error, broken source link, attribution issue, or expression problem is identified, a correction may be submitted via the contact page or by emailing techlab@sourceark.cn. Once review is complete, the article will be corrected. Known errors will not be retained in order to preserve an existing conclusion.
