A policy guide is only useful when you can tell where the rule came from, what was tested, what remains uncertain and who is accountable for the final page.
CopyForge publishes seller guides, policy explainers, free checkers and product documentation. Some of those topics sit close to marketplace enforcement, advertising regulation and commercial decisions. That makes vague sourcing especially unhelpful. This page explains the standard we use so a reader can judge the work instead of being asked to trust a logo.
Our goal is practical accuracy, not volume. We would rather publish one guide that names the actual rule, shows a worked example and states its limitations than create dozens of interchangeable pages for search traffic.
We publish around work sellers actually need to complete: fitting an Amazon title inside the current limit, checking backend keyword bytes, substantiating a product claim, improving Shopify copy, or understanding a policy change that affects publication.
The underlying requirement is checked against the best available primary source. Dates, field limits, prohibited wording and legal standards are treated as facts to verify, not details to invent for a smoother article.
AI may be used to help structure or draft text. It is not treated as a source. The named author remains responsible for checking the final wording, examples, links and product claims before publication.
CopyForge checkers are deterministic drafting aids. They can count characters, measure bytes and flag configured text patterns. They cannot verify whether your evidence is genuine, whether a marketplace will approve a listing, or whether a statement is legally safe in every jurisdiction. Our guides preserve that distinction.
Marketplace rules move. When a material rule, limit or product behaviour changes, we update the affected guide and the rule engine where relevant. Versioned scanner changes are recorded in the public changelog rather than silently rewritten.
A link is not automatically evidence. We rank sources by how directly they establish the claim being made.
Marketplace and advertising-policy claims start with the organisation that owns the rule. For Amazon we prefer Seller Central guidance. For US advertising claims we use the FTC and eCFR. For Meta advertising we use Meta Advertising Standards. For EU rules we use EUR-Lex and the published directive or regulation itself.
When a guide explains how CopyForge behaves, we verify it against the live product or the versioned rule engine. We do not substitute marketing copy for a testable product fact.
Industry articles can help explain a topic, but they do not overrule a marketplace, regulator or statute. If a secondary source conflicts with a primary source, the primary source wins.
You can see this approach directly in the published compliance rule list, where each configured rule names the policy area behind it.
CopyForge is an AI product, so hiding AI assistance would be strange. AI can help organise a draft, suggest wording or expose questions that deserve checking. It does not become the authority for a claim merely because it produced a confident sentence.
The value of a CopyForge guide is the combination of primary-source research, product-specific testing, original examples, explicit limitations and accountable editing. Pages are not published by taking a generic answer, changing a keyword and repeating the template across a topic list.
If a factual error is found, the target is to correct the page rather than defend the old wording. If the change affects a scanner rule, the ruleset is versioned and the public changelog records what changed and when it became effective.
Readers can report a broken source, stale limit or unclear claim through the contact page or by emailing support@copy-forge-ai.com.
CopyForge sells its own software. That commercial interest is obvious and should stay obvious. We do not present our own marketing copy as an independent review, and comparison pages are written to state situations where another approach is the better fit.
Directory placements, advertising and distribution do not change the standard for a factual claim. Sponsored placement, if introduced in the future, must be labelled as such. We do not sell positive editorial coverage.
CopyForge content and checkers are educational and operational drafting aids. They are not legal advice, a marketplace approval, a guarantee against suspension, or a substitute for reviewing the current policy in the destination platform and the evidence behind your own product claims.
