Editorial policy

How this site is produced

A site that dissects other people's claims should survive the same dissection. This page states who writes here, what tools are involved, and what happens when we get something wrong.

Byline

Articles are published under the organization byline "Passive Income Autopsy". There is no invented author persona, no stock-photo face, no fictional biography. The site is operated by a real, named person — Kindl Dávid, via the Hungarian sole proprietorship Kindl Dávid e.v. — identified in the imprint and onhow we make money. Honest pseudonymity: the brand is the byline, the operator is on the record.

AI disclosure

AI tools are used in producing this site: research collation, drafting, and the site's build tooling. Every published page passes a human review gate before it goes live — claims, figures and source links are checked by the operator, and nothing publishes unattended. Verdicts, editorial judgments and the decision to publish are human decisions. If a figure is wrong, the responsibility is the operator's, not a model's.

Sourcing standards

Every claim is cited inline to a working URL with an access date. We privilege primary sources — regulator reports, SEC filings, court records, population-level academic studies — over secondary coverage, and we label our own arithmetic as derived wherever we compute on someone else's published figures. The full procedure, including the falsifiability note every autopsy ends with, is documented in themethodology.

What we will not publish

No accusations against named living individuals; pattern-level critique only, with named entities appearing solely where a public institution has already acted and we can cite the docket. No income products, no affiliate links to anything this site examines, no sponsored verdicts — the structural commitments are recorded, dated, onhow we make money.

Corrections

If evidence surfaces that meets the reversal terms an autopsy itself states, the page is rewritten and the change is logged on that page. Factual errors are corrected in place with a dated note. You can send corrections, with sources, to[email protected] — primary sources get read first.
