Editorial Policy

Minbook is an execution notebook of a solo builder who builds AI products and analyzes the market. This page transparently discloses how articles are planned and written, the standards by which they are verified, and how conflicts of interest and monetization are managed. The purpose of this policy is to allow readers to independently judge the reliability and neutrality of the content.

1. Writing & Verification Principles

• Primary Sources First: We prioritize primary sources such as official documentation, corporate IR materials, academic papers, GitHub repositories, and raw data over secondary articles.
• Measurable Claims: Numerical, performance, and pricing data are written with clear citations based on the time of writing to ensure verifiability.
• Executable Code: Architecture and code examples are provided in a form that can be executed in actual production or local environments, accompanied by dependency versions whenever possible.
• Review Cycle: If incorrect information or outdated figures are discovered post-publication, we proactively update the content and refresh the "Last Updated" metadata.

2. AI-Augmented Editorial Policy

As a space for a builder working with frontier AI tools, all content on Minbook is completed through high-density collaboration with AI. We transparently disclose the methods, limits, and responsibilities of this usage.

• Areas of Active AI Collaboration: Aggregating extensive research data, translating official documents (KO↔EN), summarizing long texts, rewriting drafts, polishing prose, and initial reviews of code examples.
• Human-Only Domains (No AI Delegation): Setting the direction of inquiry, weaving business insights, cross-verifying sources, and developing the final core arguments.
• Liability & Disclaimer: We do not publish unedited AI hallucinations or fabricated sources. All external links and logical leaps are manually verified. The final responsibility for editorial decisions and fact-checking lies entirely with the operator (M). However, the operator assumes no legal liability for any outcomes, damages, or system failures resulting from applying the code examples or architectures discussed on this blog to the reader's actual services or production environments. All technical implementations must be executed under the reader's own judgment and sufficient prior testing.

3. Independence, Conflicts of Interest & Monetization

• Separation of Affiliation: All content on this blog represents strictly personal views and does not in any way represent the operator's current employer, clients, or partners. Confidential internal information or topics entangled with direct conflicts of interest related to affiliated organizations are never discussed.
• Self-Product Disclosure: When discussing products designed and developed by the operator (e.g., WICHI, MMU, Self-Tuning Loop), ownership of the project is explicitly stated at the top or bottom of the article.
• Monetization (Ads): To cover domain and infrastructure maintenance costs, automated Google AdSense ads are displayed. These are visually distinct from the content area.
• Sponsorships & Affiliates: We do not publish "sponsored content" where tone or conclusions are altered in exchange for payment. If affiliate links are used, they will be explicitly disclosed in the text.

4. Correction & Takedown Policy

• Typos & Updates: Simple typo corrections or updates to keep information current are made immediately, and the "Last Updated" date is refreshed.
• Major Factual Errors: If a critical error that alters the core logic is identified, a "Correction Notice" section will be added at the top of the article detailing the context of the change.
• Reader Correction Requests: Please send the details and the article URL to contact@minbook.dev. We will review and take action within 2-3 business days.
• Takedowns: If content is found to cause unjustified harm to specific individuals or companies, the article may be made private or deleted.

5. Plagiarism & Citation Principles

• We do not copy articles or translations from other media without the original author's consent.
• Citations are strictly limited to the minimum amount necessary to convey context, and original links and sources are always provided.
• Images and diagrams within the blog are either custom-made or use assets with verified licenses.
• Readers may quote or summarize parts of the text provided they attribute the source (link to Minbook). Republishing full articles requires prior consent.
