Content Ethics & AI Transparency

Our Commitment to Accurate Content

PrizeMining publishes financial education content in a YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) category. We take this responsibility seriously. Every piece of content goes through a multi-step verification process before publication.

How We Use AI Tools

We use AI tools as part of our research and writing workflow. Specifically:

• Research synthesis and initial drafts. AI assists with gathering and organizing information from multiple sources into structured drafts.
• Pattern identification across large datasets. AI helps identify patterns across fee structures, regulatory documents, and provider disclosures.
• Visual content generation. AI is used to generate infographics and illustrations that support our educational content.

AI does NOT:

• Make editorial decisions
• Determine ratings or scores
• Replace human fact-checking
• Generate financial advice

AI output is treated as a starting point, not a finished product. Every claim is verified by our editorial team before publication.

Our Verification Process

Every article goes through:

1. Primary source verification. All factual claims are checked against IRS publications, SEC filings, BBB records, and court documents.
2. Fact-check by our editorial team. Authors and editors verify data points, fee figures, and regulatory details independently.
3. Financial accuracy review. Sarah Chen, CFP® reviews content for financial accuracy and suitability, ensuring that context and caveats are appropriate.
4. 49-point quality checklist. Content is scored against our internal quality checklist covering accuracy, completeness, sourcing, readability, and compliance.
5. Ongoing updates. Published content is revisited when regulations or market conditions change, with all substantive updates noted on the page.

Why We Disclose AI Use

We believe readers deserve to know how content is produced. Some publications hide AI use; we document it.

Using AI tools does not diminish the quality of research — it depends entirely on how those tools are supervised, verified, and corrected. Our human editorial team is responsible for every claim that appears on this site.
