Editorial and evidence standards

Clear about what we know—and what we designed.

The Academy separates research findings, conditional guidance and original Itzako instructional models.

01

Traceable claims

Every factual learning claim binds to a stable source record.

02

Visible limits

A result is never presented without the conditions that make it less certain.

03

Honest models

Original Itzako frameworks are labelled as instructional design, not validated diagnostics.

04

Review before publication

Every page is checked for source fit, clarity and translation quality before we present it as finished.

Who is responsible

The Itzako Academy Editorial Team writes and maintains every lesson. Internal evidence review checks whether sources support the claims and whether important limitations are visible. Team credits are used while individual contributor profiles are not yet published.

Corrections are part of the work

If a factual claim, source or translation appears wrong, send us the page link and describe the concern. We review material corrections, update the review date and correct or withdraw the page when needed.
