Editorial policy

Useful. Local.
Source checked.

SPC Field Notes are designed to help Philadelphia property owners and managers make clearer maintenance decisions while keeping the limits of general information visible.

Publication quality gate

How every article
earns its place.

The automated publishing workflow must pass these checks before it can release a new page.

01

Local intent first

Every article answers a real maintenance, turnover, vendor, or Philadelphia rental-property question. Topics are selected from a maintained search-intent map, not generated at random.

02

Primary sources

Local requirements use current City of Philadelphia or Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pages whenever possible. Environmental and safety guidance uses appropriate government or recognized primary sources.

03

No invented claims

Posts do not invent search volume, prices, response guarantees, statistics, licenses, or legal requirements. Unverified claims block publication.

04

Clear limits

General maintenance information does not replace legal, environmental, insurance, medical, engineering, or licensed-trade advice. Articles say when qualified help is appropriate.

05

Human-readable updates

Each article has a publication date, source list, and update date when facts materially change. Substantive corrections are made in the article rather than hidden.

06

Useful next step

Every post connects the research to a checklist, related guide, official source, or relevant SPC service—without keyword stuffing.
