1. The Review Process
Every knowledge-base page moves through the same pipeline: AI-assisted drafting → deterministic data checks → founder review → review stamp.
AI-assisted drafting: article drafts are produced with AI assistance, grounded in classical-text interpretive frameworks and structured chart data. The sky and calendrical data itself is never AI-generated — it is computed by deterministic engines (Swiss Ephemeris, lunar-javascript; see the Methodology page).
Deterministic data checks: astronomical and calendrical claims in a draft are verified against the computation engines' output. Content that fails these checks is not published.
Founder review: interpretive content is reviewed page by page by the founder — checking that terminology is accurate, arguments are consistent with the classical sources, and no unsupportable claims are made.
Review stamp: only pages that have actually completed review display the on-page review statement (reviewer name and review date). The stamp is fail-closed by design: the moment a page's content is regenerated, the prior review is void and the stamp is removed until the page is re-reviewed. Unreviewed pages show no review claim at all — we would rather show nothing than show a false "reviewed" label.
2. Corrections Policy
How to report: if you find an error — misused terminology, data that contradicts the chart, a wrong citation — contact us via the Support page with the page link and a description of the problem.
What we do: verified errors are corrected promptly. The page's "Updated" date reflects the fix; if the correction touches interpretive content, the page goes back through the review process before its review statement is restored.
Material corrections — errors affecting conclusions or data — are noted in the body of the corrected page.
3. AI-Assistance Disclosure
AskStar is an AI-assisted site, and we do not hide it — instead, we label exactly which pages have been human-reviewed.
What AI does here: cross-system synthesis of the three independently computed charts (Western, Zi Wei, BaZi); drafting knowledge-base articles against templates; rewriting metaphysical terminology into language that meets the reader's actual question.
What AI does not do here: it does not compute charts — all chart and sky data comes from deterministic engines; it does not invent data — content that fails the data checks is not published; and it does not decide what ships — publication and review remain human responsibilities, not the model's.
