Editorial policy
How the Orbitempo blog chooses topics, uses research, writes with AI help and corrects mistakes.
How topics are chosen
We write about what scatters a day: starting, time, focus, routines and rest. A post goes up only when it adds something of its own, such as a tool, a worked example or a side-by-side look at the studies.
The evidence ladder
- A
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- B
- Experiments.
- C
- Observational and qualitative studies.
- D
- Guidance pages and patient organisations such as the NHS, CHADD and WHO, for definitions and signposting only.
Vendor blogs, press releases and social posts are never evidence. Every source is read in the original and checked for corrections, every number is matched to the paper, and every sentence that cites a study says who was studied.
How posts are written
Drafted with AI help. Every claim is checked against its source and edited by the Orbitempo team, and Orbitempo is responsible for what we publish. Orbi, the app’s character, never writes or signs a post.
Health topics
No post has had a clinician’s review yet. Where a post has an “If you have ADHD” section, that section reports what studies found and points to a doctor. Everything here is general information, not medical advice.
Conflict of interest
We make Orbitempo. The app box is labelled and comes after the method.
Corrections and reviews
Research posts are re-checked every 6 to 12 months. A substantive change gets a “What changed” line on the post and an entry here.
Corrections so far: none.
