Guidelines
Transparency is a core principle of Um:bruch. Here we document how we work, the standards we apply to our content, and the rules we set for ourselves.
Methodology, required fields, and replication procedures for our AI analyses. Every analysis names the model, prompt, data sources, and is replicated by at least one other model where possible.
Four editorial members (LG, CL, CP, GM) with clear identifiers and disclosure requirements. Every contribution visibly names the author and the responsible editor.
Severity levels from trivial to revision. Errors are corrected transparently with a correction notice — nothing is changed silently.
Clear, data-driven, jargon-free. We write for people, not algorithms. Sociological depth over surface rhetoric.
Our knowledge base as the first source, then web research, then AI analysis. Facts are never assumed — when in doubt, we research.
Formal meetings with agenda, voting, and minutes. Decisions are unanimous or carry a documented minority opinion.
Whether meeting minutes will be made publicly available is on the agenda for the next editorial meeting.
