- Every VJOURNAL story is signed by an editorial desk, never by an invented person. A desk is a team plus the scripts it operates, and each desk has a page listing the stories it produced.
- VJOURNAL is drafted with AI assistance and published under editorial responsibility. The editorial policy states the actual division of work between the tools and the people who sign.
- VITON13 sells products and services and publishes VJOURNAL. The commercial-content section of the editorial policy sets out how the two are kept apart and how commercial content is labelled.
- Facts are attributed to the sources listed on each story; interpretation is marked as interpretation. A story that misses a checking gate is not published.
- Corrections: send the story URL and the disputed claim to viton13bussiness@gmail.com. The claim is checked against the sources the story cites.
