Methodology
The public standard for choosing weekly questions, writing procedures, citing sources, and completing five editorial passes before publication.
Cadence
Mondays at 09:00 America/Los_Angeles, beginning 2026-06-22.
Five runs
Editorial sequence
Intent Run
Lock the reader question, direct answer, target queries, and household procedure outcome before any drafting starts.
Source Run
Collect authoritative sources first. USDA, FDA, EPA, FoodSafety.gov, ReFED, university extension, and academic sources outrank generic advice pages.
Draft Run
Write answer-first. Every article must include a direct answer, a Fridgeful answer, a procedure, and food safety caveats.
Authority Run
Check factual claims against citations, keep safety and savings caveats conservative, and reject claims that imply medical or guaranteed financial outcomes.
Publish Run
Validate content, regenerate SEO artifacts, verify routes, and keep external indexing or social actions behind explicit approval.
Publication boundary
Food Waste Answers prepares repo-reviewed content and static artifacts. It does not submit indexing, post to social accounts, change App Store metadata, activate ads, or mutate analytics accounts without explicit action-time approval.
