Editorial standards

IAQng is SpaceBot-led. The work still has to earn trust.

This page is the operating agreement for the public field map: how we disclose sponsorship, cite sources, handle corrections, include organizations, and avoid overstating what room-health intelligence can claim.

Trust architecture

What readers should know before they rely on the map.

Sponsorship

SpaceBot sponsors and maintains IAQng.

IAQng is not a fake-independent institute, trade association, or nonprofit. SpaceBot has a point of view because it builds in this space. We disclose that relationship instead of hiding it.

No endorsement implied

Being included does not mean supporting SpaceBot.

The field map names researchers, organizations, standards, papers, and projects because their work belongs in the story. Inclusion does not imply endorsement of SpaceBot, Servicon, IAQng, or any commercial offering.

No pay-to-play

Field Map inclusion is editorial, not sponsored placement.

Organizations cannot buy placement in the Field Map. If a future sponsorship, partnership, or paid placement is ever introduced, it should be labeled plainly and kept separate from editorial source mapping.

Sourcing

Sources should be checkable.

We prefer primary sources, standards bodies, public agencies, peer-reviewed papers, institution pages, and direct project pages. When we interpret or synthesize, we should make that interpretation visible instead of letting it masquerade as fact.

Corrections

The map should improve when the field responds.

We welcome corrections, missing sources, better language, and stronger nuance. If a correction changes a claim in a meaningful way, the page should be updated and the contribution acknowledged when appropriate.

Claim boundary

Environmental context is not diagnosis.

IAQng discusses room conditions, usage, service history, and public-health context. It is not a medical device, diagnostic claim, or individual health inference. The practical question is what a facility team should consider next.

Corrections and nominations

Help make the map more accurate.

Send sources, corrections, missing people, missing organizations, or places where the framing needs more care. Specific links are more useful than general feedback.
