Editorial Policy
Plondo's Editorial Policy
Plondo's editorial policy explains how Plondo researches, writes, and checks every article and guide published on this site. Plondo employees and vetted contributors write the content. A separate reviewer checks each claim against primary sources before publication. Plondo also sells direct selling software, so this page states plainly how that business stays separate from editorial judgment.
Who writes and reviews our content
Plondo's content team is made up of in house writers and vetted contributors who work in the direct selling and small business software field.
Every piece goes through at least one editor who did not write the first draft, before it is published. The editor checks the piece against this policy for accuracy, structure, and tone.
Plondo publishes a named author on every article. Plondo does not publish anonymous claims of fact.
How we use AI assistance
Plondo uses AI tools to speed up research, drafting, and formatting. AI never publishes a page on its own.
A human writer or editor reviews every AI assisted draft, checks it against primary sources, and takes responsibility for the final text.
When a page was materially drafted with AI assistance, Plondo states that plainly on the page itself or in its byline.
How we check facts
Plondo ranks its sources so a reader can judge how solid a claim is. A claim sourced only at Tier 3 is verified against a stronger source before publication, or it is marked as unverified.
The table below sets out Plondo's source hierarchy.
| Tier | What counts | How Plondo uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Company filings, government data, court records, and on record statements from a named source. | The preferred source for any factual claim. |
| Tier 2 | Established trade press, analyst reports, and peer reviewed research. | Used to support or add context to a Tier 1 source. |
| Tier 3 | Other websites, forum posts, social media, and unverified claims. | Never used alone. Verified against a stronger source, or marked as unverified. |
How we handle our own conflict of interest
Plondo sells software and services to direct selling and network marketing companies. Plondo also publishes educational content about that same industry.
Plondo discloses this relationship here so a reader can judge the content with that in mind.
Plondo's writers and editors do not receive a commission or a bonus tied to how a company is described in an article.
A company that buys Plondo software is held to the same factual standard as a company that does not, and Plondo does not soften or remove a true fact to protect a client relationship.
How we handle comparisons
When Plondo compares products, plans, or companies, it states the comparison criteria up front and applies them the same way to every option, including Plondo's own products where relevant.
Plondo does not publish a comparison built to make a competitor look worse than the facts support.
Pricing and feature claims inside a comparison are checked against the source's own public pricing page or documentation at the time of writing.
Publication and review dates
Every page on plondo.com that carries this policy shows when it was first published, when it was last changed, and when Plondo last reviewed it for accuracy.
Plondo reviews its standing pages on a regular schedule, and sooner whenever a fact in the underlying industry changes.
