Editorial Policy

Who We Are

The Claude Insider is an independent editorial publication covering the Claude AI ecosystem and the broader agentic AI space. We are published by The Operations Guide, LLC, edited by Luke Thompson, and produced in Jonesborough, Tennessee. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic, PBC, or any AI company we cover.

Editorial Independence

Coverage decisions are made based on reader value and journalistic merit — not commercial relationships, advertising revenue, or relationships with the companies we write about. No company can pay for editorial coverage. No advertiser has any input into our articles.

When we receive a product for review, we disclose it. When we have a financial relationship with a company we mention, we disclose it. Our Affiliate Disclosure covers this in full.

How We Research and Write

• Articles are based on primary sources: official Anthropic documentation, press releases, developer forums, and direct product testing.
• For analysis and commentary, we draw on Luke Thompson's hands-on experience building with Claude and other AI tools in production environments.
• We use AI tools (including Claude) to assist with research, structuring drafts, and identifying gaps. All content is reviewed, fact-checked, and rewritten by a human editor before publication.
• AI-assisted articles are labeled with a disclosure at the bottom of the article: 'Articles are researched and drafted with AI assistance, reviewed and edited by Luke Thompson.'
• We do not publish articles that are unreviewed AI outputs. The editorial judgment is always human.

Accuracy and Corrections

We strive for accuracy. When we make a material error of fact, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the affected article with a date. We do not silently edit factual errors.

To report a factual error, email corrections@theclaudeinsider.com with the article URL and the specific claim you believe is incorrect, along with your source.

Article Quality Standards

Before publication, every article must meet the following criteria:

• Minimum 300 words of substantive original content.
• A clear thesis or practical takeaway — we don't publish summaries that add no value over the original source.
• At least one primary source URL for factual claims.
• A meaningful excerpt that accurately describes the article's content.
• Human review and editing by Luke Thompson before publication.

Advertising

The Claude Insider may display advertising through Google AdSense and potentially other networks. Advertising does not influence editorial decisions. Advertisers cannot request changes to articles. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be clearly labeled as such. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy Policy for more.
