Editorial Policy

Purpose

Pitchside publishes product education, football-analysis explainers, comparison pages and launch updates for grassroots football players.

Content must help readers understand what Pitchside does now, what is still in beta and what is planned.

Accuracy rules

• Use current product-status wording for beta features, processing time and launch availability.
• Do not claim guaranteed accuracy, instant processing or professional-club parity.
• Do not present prices or subscriptions as purchasable until the verified purchase path is live.
• Use named sources, first-party data or clearly dated comparison checks for factual claims.

Review process

Product and pricing claims should be checked against the canonical pricing and product-status pages. Privacy, consent, security and legal wording should be reviewed before launch and whenever the app workflow changes.

Articles should be updated when product features, plan allowances, processing times or supported formats change.

Corrections

If a factual error is found, Pitchside should correct the page, update the visible date where appropriate and avoid preserving old claims in metadata, schema or llms.txt output.
