Editorial standards
This page explains how we write the content on dotva.com.au. It is the promise behind every byline.
Real bylines, real people
Every guide, blog post, or AI + VAs piece is attributed to a real person – Jenn Yang, our founder, or the DotVA editorial team for tools and reference content. We do not use AI personas with fabricated photos or fake bios.
Lived experience first
Our writing is grounded in our own operating experience. Jenn manages a Filipino VA team and works with AI-augmented workflows daily. When we write about Claude Code, prompt libraries, or async management, we are writing about what we actually do inside DotVA.
What gets a "last updated" date
Every page shows the date it was last reviewed or edited. We aim to refresh evergreen content quarterly. If a page has not been touched in 6 months, our content audit script flags it (see /content_count.mjs in the source).
How we use AI in our writing
We use Claude to help draft, structure, and pressure-test our writing. We do not publish AI output verbatim. Every paragraph is rewritten in our voice. We use Australian English, no em-dashes, typographic apostrophes. The thinking, examples, and judgement calls come from the named author.
What we will not do
- Publish stock-photo fake author headshots
- Fabricate testimonials
- Use AggregateRating schema until we collect verified first-party reviews
- Publish AI-generated case studies as if they were real
- Use clickbait headlines that don't deliver
- Republish other people's content without attribution
Corrections
If we publish something wrong, email [email protected] and we'll correct it within 7 days. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the page with a date.
