Renew Atlas · Editorial policy
Renew Atlas editorial standards.
The standards governing Atlas authorship, sourcing, dates, corrections, automation, commercial interest, and fair-housing compliance.
- 01
Authorship must be real
Eric Giovannucci is credited as author only when he materially writes or shapes the analysis and accepts responsibility for the published conclusions. Database-led pages identify Renew Atlas as compiler and Eric as reviewer when that is the accurate role.
- 02
Primary evidence comes first
Time-sensitive quantitative, legal, zoning, tax, permit, and policy claims link to an official or first-party record whenever one exists. Secondary reporting may add context but does not replace the primary record.
- 03
Dates describe different events
Published, modified, data-as-of, and human-reviewed dates are stored and displayed separately. A deployment or automated refresh does not create a new editorial date by itself.
- 04
Commercial interest is disclosed
Renew Atlas is published by a licensed real estate team that may represent parties in Treasure Valley transactions. Research does not guarantee value, approval, rent, financing, or return and does not replace transaction-specific professional review.
- 05
Automation assists; it does not become the author
Software may assist source discovery, extraction, normalization, calculation, drafting, link checks, and quality review. Material public claims require human verification. Eric remains responsible for analysis carrying his byline.
- 06
Corrections stay visible
Material factual or methodological changes are recorded with the date and nature of the revision. Minor spelling or formatting changes do not create a new substantive update date.
- 07
Fair housing is a publication constraint
Atlas does not rank neighborhoods using protected-class data, steer readers, label places as safe or unsafe, or use coded demographic claims. Aggregate public data is included only for a neutral, legitimate research purpose.
- 08
Uncertainty is part of the result
Estimates, licensed data, internal observations, and property-specific assumptions are labeled differently. Missing evidence is reported as an unresolved question instead of being filled with invented precision.
