Editorial Policy

LifeAtlas USA is built for practical U.S. life decisions. The editorial standard is simple: useful first, source-backed before scale, and easy to correct.

Plain-English Utility

Every page should answer a practical decision question, show the next step, and avoid filler.

Local Context

Cost, benefits, housing, insurance, utilities, and moving decisions vary by state, city, county, and household.

Source Before Scale

Starter pages can define structure, but public recommendations need official or reputable source support.

Correctable by Design

Readers, agencies, and local organizations can send corrections or source links to the data inbox.

Review Workflow

How Pages Should Move From Starter to Published

  1. Define the search intent and user decision the page supports.
  2. Collect official or reputable sources for costs, benefits, rules, and local contacts.
  3. Separate facts, estimates, and editorial guidance.
  4. Add a last-reviewed date, correction path, and affiliate disclosure where needed.
  5. Re-review pages when source data, laws, program rules, or market conditions change.
