These standards describe how ProDrone Insights researches, writes, updates and corrects its editorial content.

1. Accuracy before speed

Important factual claims should be verifiable. For regulation, aviation safety and official requirements, the relevant regulator, government publication, standard or other primary authority takes priority over secondary commentary when available.

2. Fact, analysis and inference

Articles should distinguish established facts from analysis, interpretation and uncertainty. Dates, jurisdictions, units, product models and applicable versions should be explicit when they materially affect meaning.

3. No fabricated evidence

We do not invent tests, surveys, sample sizes, interviews, customer experiences, expert identities, partnerships, certifications or research findings. If we have not physically tested a product, we do not describe the article as a hands-on review.

4. Reviews, comparisons and buying guidance

Where products are compared without direct testing, the basis of comparison should be clear and may include official specifications, documentation, regulatory status, compatibility and other verifiable evidence.

5. Sources and freshness

Changing information is re-checked when it matters. Rules, fees, product availability, platform policies and technical standards may require a fresh source check before publication or material update.

6. Commercial relationships and links

ProDrone Insights is published by ProDrone. That relationship does not justify adding a commercial link where it is not useful to the reader. Links should be relevant, descriptive and contextually appropriate, with material commercial relationships disclosed.

7. AI-assisted work

AI tools may assist with research organisation, drafting, editing, formatting and quality checks. They are not treated as a source of truth. Important factual claims still require appropriate evidence.

8. Corrections and updates

When a material factual error is identified, the affected claim and surrounding context should be re-verified before correction. Important changes should not be hidden by silently removing historical evidence.
