Newsroom Production Policy
Last updated August 2026
This page explains how Real Sim keeps automated newsroom systems inside fixed editorial and publication limits.
Where systems assist
Editorial systems help organise discovery, research, verification, image records and publication mechanics. Critical claims are checked separately from the drafting process.
Institutional bylines
We publish under established desk bylines such as Real Sim Desk or Real Sim Hardware Desk. We do not invent human authors or imply hands-on experience that did not occur.
Hard limits
Newsroom systems may never invent hands-on experience, a quotation, a source, a price, a product test or an image right. Uncertainty prevents publication — the system fails closed.
Public labels
Reader-facing pages show only disclosures that materially affect a story, such as sponsorship, affiliate relationships, corrections or updates. Internal workflow fields remain internal and never become a public badge, caption, byline, metadata value or search label.
