Editorial policy

Evidence order

For game rules, patch changes, system requirements, availability, dates and other publisher-controlled facts, first-party documentation is the preferred source. Reliable data services may support performance or usage statistics. Community posts and videos are useful for player experience and tactics, but they do not establish official facts.

Fact, interpretation and recommendation

Exact numbers, versions, dates, costs, caps and platform claims require supporting evidence. Rankings, builds and tactical advice are interpretations; they should state the patch, mode, rank or other context that materially changes the recommendation.

AI-assisted production

Research organization, drafting and validation may use language models. AI output is not treated as evidence. The publication workflow uses source material, deterministic checks and a separate editorial validator, and is designed to block publication when required validation is unavailable.

Freshness

Patch-sensitive guides are reviewed after meaningful game changes. A visible verified or modified date is shown only after a real review. Evergreen pages are updated when the underlying system changes or a reliable signal identifies drift.

Authorship and review

An organization byline identifies work maintained by the LevelCrux editorial process. A named person is credited only when that person is real and has materially contributed or reviewed the subject. Social profiles and credentials are never invented.

Corrections

Material factual errors are corrected in the article. If a correction changes the conclusion of a guide, the affected recommendation and review metadata are reassessed rather than silently receiving a new date. See the corrections policy.
