How we work
Trust is the whole point, so here is plainly how our guides and stories are made and what you can hold us to.
Sources
Every guide lists the sources it is built on: peer-reviewed studies, policy statements from bodies such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization, and respected university centres. Studies carry a DOI link where one exists. When a newer version of a source appears, we replace the old one.
Use of AI
Our guides and stories are written and illustrated with AI tools by Out of Usual Editorial. The pictures in the stories are AI-generated illustrations of imaginary characters, not photographs. The translations into French, German, Italian and Spanish are made with AI tools too and have not yet been proofread by native speakers.
What “reviewed” means
A guide only shows the label “Reviewed by our editor” after a person has actually read it. If you do not see the label, it has not been through that step yet.
Dates
The date on a page is the real date it was published. We do not backdate articles.
Corrections
We make mistakes, like everyone. When a statement is found to be wrong or out of date, we correct it and replace the source if needed.
Medical information
Our guides share general information, not medical advice, and they say when to talk to a professional.
