Method and accountability
Editorial standards
Source hierarchy
For jurisdiction, contractor, permit, code, energy, and inspection questions, we prefer the current responsible official source. Project-specific design belongs to qualified professionals responsible for the project. Selected-system information should use current manufacturer materials, while contracts, written quotes, supplier, concrete, site, inspection, and owner records answer their respective project questions.
Jurisdiction and dates
A claim is useful only when its jurisdiction, source, and effective or checked date are clear. Readers should confirm current requirements before acting. When an official answer is unclear, the responsible output is a question to confirm, not an invented fee, date, or legal conclusion.
Article review
Published articles require page-level review for source validity, legal status, internal consistency, intent, and duplication. ICFPath does not silently bulk-rewrite or remove indexed article bodies during technical releases. A weak or outdated page should receive a documented review before revision, consolidation, redirect, noindexing, or deletion.
AI assistance
Automation may assist with organization, formatting, link checks, and drafts. It is not accepted as authority for a legal or regulatory claim. Current factual claims still require source review, and generated examples must not be presented as customer proof, credentials, official advice, or real-world outcomes.
Corrections
Send the page URL, disputed statement, and a supporting official source to support@icfpath.com. Material corrections should update the visible page and modified date rather than being hidden in discovery metadata.
