What this desk does not claim

How work is reviewed

AI-ASSISTED WORKFLOW

Tools may assist. Responsibility stays here.

Automated tools may help organize research, check consistency, generate structured drafts or test site logic. They are not presented as authors. HomeCostGrid remains responsible for what it publishes and requires editorial review before an indexable page is released.
