Editorial standards
Write the answer, show the evidence, name the gap.
CompressorFinder pages are written for equipment decisions. They should be clear enough for a buyer, specific enough for a plant engineer, and traceable enough for review.
A confident sentence without a source is still unfinished.
The first 200 words must do real work.
Detail pages lead with the conclusion, not a slow introduction. For compressor pages, that means naming the use case, the important limits, and the buyer who should pause before choosing it.
- Good lead
- States best fit, practical limit, and source confidence.
- Weak lead
- Repeats category language without helping the reader decide.
Facts, interpretation, and gaps stay separate.
Facts are specs, model numbers, certifications, dealer claims, prices, and standards references tied to a source.
Interpretation is the editorial conclusion drawn from those facts, such as whether a compressor fits paint work, tire service, farm use, or continuous industrial duty.
Gaps are named when a source is missing, a manufacturer spec is ambiguous, or a retailer listing conflicts with an OEM sheet.
Placement cannot be bought.
Manufacturers cannot buy catalog rank. Installers cannot buy directory rank. Commercial links are labeled and used only when they answer a system question.
Where CompressorFinder recommends an option, the reason should be visible in specs, compatibility, sourcing, availability, or verified service coverage.
Corrections update the data layer.
When a source changes or a reader reports a conflict, material corrections should update structured data, create a revision snapshot, refresh citations or freshness fields, and invalidate the affected page cache.
- Minor wording
- Clean up the prose when meaning is unchanged.
- Material change
- Update the source-backed data, snapshot the revision, and re-run verification.
