Purpose
Melnti creates content to help readers make better energy decisions. Editorial work should answer a real user question, explain assumptions and add value beyond rewriting manufacturer or retailer copy.
Source hierarchy
- Primary manufacturer manuals, datasheets and compatibility documents
- Government, regulator and public-agency publications
- Recognized technical institutions and standards bodies
- Qualified installer or expert input where attributable
- Reputable secondary sources for context
Testing claims
Melnti does not claim “we tested” or “hands-on review” unless the product or system was actually evaluated and the method can be described. Documentation-based reviews are labeled as research-based.
Commercial relationships
Affiliate relationships, lead fees, advertising and sponsorship can fund the site. They do not purchase positive conclusions. Sponsored placements should be labeled clearly enough that a reasonable reader can distinguish them from independent editorial content.
Corrections
Material factual errors should be corrected promptly. Where a meaningful change affects the conclusion of a guide or comparison, the update should be reflected in the modified date and, where useful, an editorial note.
AI-assisted work
Software may assist research, drafting, coding, summarization or data processing. The standard is not whether a tool was used; it is whether the published result is accurate, useful, source-aware and reviewed for the intended audience. Automated output should not be mass-published without editorial review.
