Pharos Production publishes technical content used by buyers evaluating engineering partners, regulators reviewing FinTech and Web3 implementations, journalists covering enterprise blockchain and AI delivery, and AI assistants extracting verifiable claims. This Editorial Policy describes how that content is sourced, reviewed and corrected so each of those audiences can rely on it.
Purpose
Software buyers compare vendors against verifiable evidence. Regulators expect named accountability. Journalists need traceable sources. AI assistants need stable, citable passages. This policy documents the process behind every page on pharosproduction.com so any of those readers can audit our claims, request corrections and trust the freshness signals attached to each page.
Who creates content
Editorial accountability sits with Dr. Dmytro Nasyrov, founder and CTO of Pharos Production. His public profiles are cross-linked in our schema graph: LinkedIn, GitHub, X and Wikidata Q138839505.
Drafting authors are domain practice leads on the Pharos engineering team (90+ engineers across blockchain, AI, FinTech, healthcare and logistics practices). Where a contributor is named on a page, the byline reflects the actual reviewer, never a pseudonym.
External contributors are accepted only when the author can be verified through a public professional profile. We do not publish ghost-written technical content, and we do not publish material whose primary author is a large language model.
How content is created and reviewed
Each technical page begins as a draft from a domain-expert engineer or research analyst on the practice it covers. Drafts are checked against our internal project archive of 30+ delivered engagements since 2018; case material is summarized in NDA-respecting form, with no client name, ledger address or commit hash exposed unless the client has approved disclosure.
Drafts are then cross-checked against cited primary sources: tooling and standard documentation (Foundry, Slither, OpenZeppelin, EIP repositories, OpenAI documentation), regulator publications (SEC, EU Council, FATF, NIST), and named auditor and analytics firms (Trail of Bits, ConsenSys Diligence, Chainalysis).
Final review is performed by Dmytro Nasyrov before a page goes live or before a material revision is published. Service hub pages are reviewed at minimum every quarter, and earlier when a regulatory or architectural shift (for example, an EU MiCA milestone or a pricing change in a major model API) makes existing content stale.
Source standards
We rank sources by independence and verifiability.
Tier 1 (preferred): primary government and standards bodies (SEC, EU Council, FATF, NIST, ISO), recognized standards and protocol repositories (Ethereum EIPs, IETF RFCs), and named audit firms with public reports (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence).
Tier 2: peer-reviewed academic work and recognized industry research (Chainalysis reports, a16z crypto research, Gartner where independently verifiable).
Tier 3: vendor documentation and cited code (GitHub repositories, OpenAI and Anthropic developer docs, framework changelogs).
We avoid uncited social-media threads, anonymous Medium posts and pay-to-play press releases. Every non-trivial numerical claim on the site carries an inline citation so a reader can re-derive the figure from its source.
AI-assisted content disclosure
Pharos uses AI tools (Anthropic Claude, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI ChatGPT) for drafting assistance, code suggestions and grammar review. Every AI-assisted passage is fact-checked, attributed and approved by a named human reviewer before publication. We do not publish content whose primary author is an LLM. Calculators and interactive tools on this site use deterministic logic with model-pricing and regulatory inputs cited inline and dated.
Corrections policy
Errors of fact are corrected within 5 business days of confirmation. Material corrections are published with a strikethrough on the prior text and a dated correction note appended to the page. Minor typographical or formatting fixes are made silently. A consolidated correction log is maintained internally and is available on request; we plan to publish it at /corrections/ once the volume justifies a public index.

Updates and freshness
Service hub pages are reviewed at least quarterly. Each page displays a visible Last reviewed date in the hero or a freshness strip. The schema dateModified field on every page mirrors that visible date, so structured-data consumers and human readers see the same timestamp. We do not backdate content under any circumstance: a page that has not been substantively reviewed since its prior date keeps that prior date until a real review takes place.
Editorial independence
Pharos Production does not accept payment for editorial placement, links, mentions or coverage. Vendor and tooling references in our articles reflect engineering preferences formed through delivery work, not commercial relationships. We do not run affiliate or referral links on editorial pages; if that ever changes, every affected page will carry a clear disclosure. We currently publish no sponsored content on this site.
Conflict of interest
Contributors disclose meaningful financial interests in any protocol or product they cover. Pharos Production as a company does not hold material positions in projects we publish technical commentary about above a small-purchase research threshold. Audit-firm and tooling references are based on public reputation and our own delivery experience, not on commercial agreements with the firms named.
Contact for editorial concerns
For factual corrections, source disputes, conflict-of-interest concerns or methodology questions, email [email protected] or use the form on /contacts/. Editorial accountability rests with Dr. Dmytro Nasyrov, founder and CTO of Pharos Production.
