Editorial standards
Kompunik publishes content about people's careers and livelihoods. Here is how we research, source, fact-check and review what we publish — and what we will and won't claim.
How our content is grounded
Content is grounded in two things: real workplace situations — drawn from two decades of building, leading and retaining teams across the UK, India and France — and established research on skills and the future of work from reputable institutions, including the World Economic Forum (Future of Jobs), the OECD, and the Anthropic Economic Index on how AI is reshaping tasks. Where the soft-skills curriculum draws on validated models, those are named and sourced explicitly rather than asserted. We favour evidence and field experience over personality-test folklore.
Research & fact-checking
Every factual claim is traced to a primary source — the original report, dataset or study, not a secondary summary — and linked where possible. Statistics are checked against the source before publishing. We distinguish clearly between what the evidence shows, what is the author's professional experience, and what is informed opinion. We won't present contested findings as settled, won't fabricate data or citations, and won't claim clinical or psychological authority we don't hold.
Who reviews our content
Today, all content is written or edited and reviewed by Joss Gillet, drawing on twenty years of hands-on team leadership. As the contributor network grows, subject-matter pieces will carry a named reviewer with relevant credentials — for example occupational psychologists or experienced career practitioners — shown as a “Reviewed by” line on the article.
Our stance on AI-assisted writing
We use AI as a drafting and research-acceleration tool, never as an autopilot. Every piece is shaped by human expertise: the angle, the lived examples and the judgement are ours, and a human verifies every fact before publication. AI helps us produce in multiple languages and at a sustainable pace; it does not decide what is true or stand in for real experience.
Drawing on our community
Kompunik's content is sharpened by its community. Real questions, challenges and stories surfaced through our community features and member discussions feed directly into what we write — so articles reflect the situations people actually face, not just what ranks well. Member contributions are used with permission and, where shared, anonymised or credited as the contributor prefers.
Corrections policy
If we get something wrong, we fix it openly. Substantive corrections are noted on the article with the date and nature of the change, rather than edited away silently. Readers can flag errors via our contact page, and we update sourcing as research evolves.
