Project & policies

Editorial policy

How the project creates original guides, documents assumptions and handles corrections without invented credentials.

Editorial purpose

The knowledge layer explains the decisions behind the tools rather than padding a collection with interchangeable articles. Each published guide must solve a distinct question and include a practical example, a reference table or checklist, and links that help the next decision.

Authorship transparency

The initial editorial material was prepared with AI assistance as part of building this project. Attribution to the Wander Aether editorial project is a project label, not a claim of a staffed newsroom, professional qualification or firsthand travel experience. Human operator review is required before launch and before relying on changing external facts.

Originality and illustration rights

The text was authored for this build, not scraped or copied from publisher articles. Featured SVG diagrams are generated locally from topic-specific examples and use no stock photos, remote image URLs or third-party logos. Shared visual style does not replace distinct diagram content.

Facts, examples and sources

Illustrative rates and costs are labelled and are not destination-price recommendations. Time-zone background links to IANA. Policies are reviewed against official Google references in the readiness report. Guides avoid unsupported visa, medical, investment and specialized outdoor safety advice. Current bookings and rules belong with official providers.

Review and corrections

Review should check intent, arithmetic, assumptions, internal links and wording. Automated audits support but do not replace editorial judgment. Dates reflect the initial publication, not a claim of repeated manual verification. A guide should be updated when its method, tool or externally sourced context changes. The operator must enable a verified correction channel before public launch; the contact page currently discloses that limitation.

Commercial independence

No affiliate recommendation, sponsored review, fake rating or testimonial is included in the initial collection. Future paid placements or sponsorships must be identified and kept separate from calculator controls. Advertising is currently disabled.
