Methodology

Last updated: April 11, 2026

1. What This Page Covers

This page explains how FixerCode publishes reference content about error codes, how we use automation, where AI assistance may appear, and when additional human review is applied.

2. Content Model

FixerCode publishes independent reference pages focused on meaning, context, common causes, related codes, and safe orientation. Public pages are intentionally kept away from step-by-step repair formatting, tool lists, or official-sounding support language.

3. Automated Validation

Every entry must pass build-time validation before publication. That validation checks schema shape, required fields, length constraints, slug format, provenance requirements, and banned wording patterns such as instruction-like phrasing, official-mimicry, and source-attribution style copy.

4. Provenance and Source Discipline

Internal provenance fields track whether an entry is based on official material, community information, or an AI-generated draft. Non-AI entries are expected to keep a canonical source URL internally. Public pages do not normally show detailed source lists; that transparency is handled through policy and methodology pages.

5. AI Assistance and Review Depth

Some entries may be drafted or refined with AI assistance. Those entries are not published automatically. They must still pass the same automated controls as every other page, and AI-retained entries must include an internal editor note before publication.

Not every page receives identical manual review depth. Higher-risk or more ambiguous pages can receive additional human review for wording, provenance fit, or factual confidence, while lower-risk pages may rely primarily on structured validation and targeted spot-checks.

6. When Additional Human Review Is Prioritized

  • AI-generated entries that remain AI-classified at publication time
  • Pages with higher severity or higher search visibility
  • Entries with provenance ambiguity, correction history, or policy-sensitive wording
  • Any page flagged by automated validation or audit tooling

7. Corrections and Updates

We revise pages when wording, structure, or factual framing needs improvement. Key content pages may display reviewed or updated signals so readers can see that the current publication baseline has been revisited.
