Editorial Standards and AI Use
1. Independence
Advertisers, retailers, studios, brands and sponsors do not write, approve or change our content. TNAADO does not accept payment for coverage. If a page ever carries paid or affiliate material, it is labelled next to the material. See Advertising.
2. Sources
Guides, prices, figures and rules come from primary or official sources where they exist: laws, regulators, agencies, retailer policy pages, filings, filmmakers' and studios' own materials. Pages link their sources close to the claims they support and show when sources were read or last verified. A claim is not a finding and a rumour is not a confirmed event; we say who said what.
3. How AI is used
We use AI tools to help with research, drafting, layout, calculators and original visuals. A person at TNAADO is responsible for each page. Before publication, consequential claims, figures and names are checked against the linked sources. AI-assisted pages say so in a provenance line. Our checks are not a claim of firsthand testing, interviews or original reporting unless a page says so. Visuals explain an idea or route; they are not evidence that an event happened. We do not publish AI-generated text as a named person's eyewitness account.
4. Opinion and reviews
Criticism and recommendations are labelled as judgment. A review names the work, and a score appears only when the writer gave one. We do not borrow another publication's rating.
5. Each site
- Answers and Travel: guides cite official sources and carry a last-verified date; page change logs are on each site.
- Tools: calculators and converters state their assumptions and, where relevant, their source rates and dates.
- Mr Buff: prices and nutrition figures are read from the source page on the date shown.
- CinematicAddict: watch orders and lists are editorial recommendations; reviews are the writer's judgment.
- The Dispatch: the newsroom does not publish paid content and labels sponsored material. Its own Editorial and Sponsored Content Policy is at dispatch.tnaado.ca/editorial-policy until it is moved here.
6. Corrections
We correct material errors promptly and explain the change where it helps readers. See Corrections.
7. Sources and basis
- Replaces the per-site editorial pages at answers.tnaado.ca/editorial-standards, travel.tnaado.ca/editorial-standards, mrbuff.ca/editorial-policy and cinematicaddict.com/editorial, which should link here.
- Google AdSense program policies and Mediavine's requirements for original, audience-first content (read 8 November 2026); Mediavine's published pages do not set separate AI-content rules.
