    Editorial Policy

    This page explains how XtendedView decides what to publish, who answers for it, how we use AI tools, and what we do when a page turns out to be wrong. The detailed checking steps live on their own pages, linked below, so this one stays short.

    Who approves each page

    Tushar Thakur started XtendedView in 2011 and still runs it. He steers what the site covers. Supriya, who is Editor in Chief, leads a group of five researchers and checks the work they produce. Both are introduced on our team page. No page goes up until an editor, identified by name, has approved it.

    No advertiser, brand or other outside party has sign-off on what we publish. None of them can approve, edit or block an article.

    Some pages carry the byline “Editorial Team”. It marks house content that staff researched and an editor reviewed. It is a label for shared work, not a person, so it has no biography or photo. Articles written by Tushar or Supriya carry their own names.

    Statistics pages, guides and reviews

    • Statistics pages. Most of the site. Each one gathers published figures about a company, app, device or market, and cites a source for every figure. How one is assembled is set out in our Statistics Methodology.
    • How-to guides for Windows and Android. Each guide names the software version it was written for, so you can tell whether it still matches what you see.
    • Reviews. A smaller set of hands-on reviews. We buy the products we review ourselves; no brand sends or lends them to us. Some reviews include Tushar’s own photos of the product he used.

    How we use AI tools

    We use AI tools to help with research and to support our editorial workflow. Every article is fact-checked against its sources, edited and approved by our editors before it’s published.

    We never cite an AI-written summary as a source. Every figure has to point back to the organisation that published it.

    Checks before a page goes live

    Our Fact-Check Policy sets out each step, and the Statistics Methodology adds the rules that apply only to statistics. In brief, sources are ranked by how close they are to the original data, figures are tied to dated passages, a machine pass looks for mismatches, and an editor signs off. These are our own internal steps, not an external certification.

    Reporting a mistake

    If you find an error, email tushar@xtendedview.com or use the details on our contact page. Please include the page link, the exact wording or number you think is wrong, and any source that shows the correct version. We aim to reply within three working days.

    We fix errors on the page itself rather than in a separate post. Small fixes, such as a typo or a broken link, are made without a note. When a correction changes a figure, a conclusion or a step that a reader may have relied on, we add a short note at the end of the section it affects, starting “Correction” and the date, saying what changed.

    When statistics pages are refreshed

    Figures go stale as companies report new results and research firms revise estimates. We review our statistics pages on a rolling basis and update the figures when their sources publish new editions.

    Each page shows an “Updated” date next to the byline: the date of the last change to that page. If a topic can no longer be backed by current sources, we take the page down.
