Policy

AI authorship policy

Some of the writing on this site starts as an AI-assisted draft. This page explains what that means, what the pipeline checks, and who is responsible for what gets published.

A pipeline may fetch sources and draft prose for a post. Human authorship is mandatory: no post ships under Rock Lambros's byline without Rock reworking the draft himself during pull-request review. That edit is what the byline means. What the pipeline produces is a draft, not a publication.

A deterministic gate blocks a draft outright on six checks: prompt injection, brand accuracy, house voice, keyword duplication, content depth, and internal links. Two model-based checks also run at draft time, one for factual grounding and one for claims about named third parties, and an unresolved finding from either keeps a draft out of review rather than shipping it with a flag attached.

The pipeline does not certify that a published post reflects genuine editorial judgment, and it does not lock in any specific amount of rework. A companion metric reports how much a published post diverges from its AI draft, but that metric is advisory. It gives Rock two numbers to read at review. It stops nothing on its own.

Rock Lambros holds editorial responsibility for everything published under his name on this site, whether a post started from a blank page or an AI-assisted draft. Questions about this policy or about a specific post go through the contact page.
