Trust & Data
Editorial Policy
How we produce, review and maintain guides and articles on Maplify.
Author selection
Guides and articles are written or reviewed by people with relevant property, planning or data experience. Where a piece covers a specialist regulatory topic, we aim to name a qualified reviewer rather than an anonymous byline.
Review standards
Factual claims involving planning law, environmental regulation, statutory thresholds or professional costs are checked against a current primary source before publishing, and dated so readers know when that check took place.
Source hierarchy
We prioritise primary sources — the relevant Act, statutory guidance, or the publishing authority's own dataset documentation — over secondary commentary. Where guidance changes, we aim to revisit related content rather than leave it uncorrected.
Use of AI in content production
Some drafting and editing on Maplify is assisted by AI tools. All published guidance is reviewed for accuracy before publication, and factual claims are checked against primary sources per our review standards above.
Conflicts of interest
Maplify is operated by Gosen Group Limited. Where content discusses Maplify's own features, this is disclosed as product information rather than independent editorial commentary.
