Editorial Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-02

This policy governs every article published on Thirtyera. Our goal is simple: content about Thirtyera you can act on with confidence.

How our content is created

• Research first. Articles are built from published research, manufacturer documentation and other primary sources — never copied or spun from other sites.
• Sources you can check. Where a claim depends on a source, we cite it and link out. Where the evidence is thin or contested, we say so rather than presenting a guess as settled.
• Accountable byline. Articles are published under our organizational editorial byline (see About) — the team that is genuinely responsible for the work, not an invented personal name.
• Independence. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no input into what we cover or recommend.

Corrections & updates

We correct verified errors promptly and date-stamp substantive updates. Report issues to hello@thirtyera.com.

How AI is used here

Thirtyera is produced with an AI-assisted research and writing pipeline, and we would rather tell you that plainly than imply otherwise. Sourcing, citation and the standards on this page are applied automatically as part of that pipeline; articles are not individually reviewed by a human before they go live. Thirtyera remains fully responsible for what is published, and we correct verified errors promptly — if you find one, tell us and we will fix and date-stamp it.
