Editorial
We use AI assistance to draft blog content, and we think you should know exactly how. This page describes the actual process behind every article we publish — not a general statement of intent.
Articles on the Paythos blog start as AI-generated drafts. The drafting model is given live web search and is instructed to ground every statistic and non-obvious factual claim in a real source it finds, cited inline as a link. It is explicitly instructed not to invent a statistic, source, or URL — if it cannot find a real one to support a claim, it is instructed to leave the claim out rather than fabricate a citation for it.
No AI-generated draft publishes itself. Every draft is created in an unpublished state and requires a person to review it in our admin panel and explicitly publish or schedule it before it becomes visible on the site. Reviewers check for accuracy, relevance, and whether the piece adds something a reader couldn't already get from a search result.
Where an article states a statistic, a market figure, or a claim that isn't common knowledge, we require a citation linking to the specific page it came from — not a section homepage or topic hub presented as if it were the source. Before a draft is accepted, every citation link is automatically checked to confirm it actually resolves; a draft with a broken citation is rejected rather than published. If you find a citation that no longer resolves, or a figure that looks wrong, please tell us — see below.
Paythos is a vendor in several of the categories this blog covers, including payment routing, invoice risk scoring, and accounts payable automation. Articles on these topics are not independent third-party analysis, and we don't claim otherwise. Where an article's author holds a role at Paythos (for example, as a founder or executive), that is disclosed in the byline rather than left implicit.
Where an article credits a named author, that person takes responsibility for the accuracy of the piece as published, and their byline discloses their real role at Paythos. Articles without a named author are credited to Paythos as an organisation.
If you spot an error, an outdated figure, or a broken citation in anything we've published, email hello@paythos.tech with the article URL and we'll review and correct it.
