Editorial policy & standards
The standards that govern everything we publish — and how we put them right when we get something wrong.
Who writes and reviews
Glass Elevator’s content is produced and overseen by Iggy, Founder & Editor. Agent profiles are drafted from public information and then edited and fact-checked by a person before publishing. Editorial articles and guides are written and reviewed under the same byline. There is always a human accountable for what goes on the page.
Our use of AI, stated plainly
We use software, including AI, to help gather public information and draft profiles at a scale a single person couldn’t manage by hand. AI assists; it doesn’t publish. A human reviews every profile for accuracy, removes anything unverified, preserves the qualifiers that change meaning, and makes the final call on what’s published. We’d rather tell you this clearly than pretend a process is something it isn’t — how it works in detail is on how we build our agent profiles.
Accuracy & honesty
- We write in our own words and synthesize; we don’t copy source text.
- We date volatile facts and flag when a reading is getting old instead of implying it’s live.
- We don’t fabricate dates, quotes, sales, or credentials. If we can’t verify it, we don’t state it as fact.
- We preserve meaning-changing qualifiers rather than rounding them off.
- We never infer personal characteristics from someone’s name; pronouns come only from an agent’s own public bio.
Independence from advertising
Glass Elevator is free and supported by advertising. Editorial and commercial are kept separate: no one can pay to be listed, to rank higher, or to change what a profile says. Advertising never influences our evaluations. Where we link to a paid service or have a relationship that could be seen as a conflict, we aim to disclose it.
Corrections
We fix errors promptly and visibly. If you find something inaccurate or out of date — or you’re an agent who wants a profile updated, corrected, or removed — contact us. We treat requests from the agents themselves as a priority. Many pages also carry a direct “request a correction” link.
Updates
Profiles are refreshed on a regular cadence and carry a date so you can judge how current they are. Guides and articles show a “last updated” date and are revised when the landscape changes. The standards on this page are reviewed periodically; they were last reviewed on 2026-06-19.
A standing reminder
No directory is a substitute for an agent’s own guidelines. Whatever a profile says, confirm the agent’s current submission window and instructions on their own site before you query.
