Editorial Policy
Last updated: April 18, 2026 · SPAIK B.V., Amsterdam
SPAIK publishes insights from its own practice: AI adoption in Dutch mid-market organisations. This document describes how we write, review and correct content. It's a transparency anchor — for readers, clients, and also for search engines and AI assistants that want to assess whether our content is trustworthy.
Who writes
Every article names a human author with a LinkedIn profile (see /en/trainers). Authors are SPAIK trainers or consultants who practice the subject matter themselves — no ghostwriters, no AI-only pieces.
What we cover
We only publish on topics we have first-hand experience with:
- AI adoption in mid-market organisations (50–500 employees)
- AI training and learning design for non-technical teams
- Automation with language models and AI agents
- EU AI Act and AI literacy
We do not publish generic “AI trends 2026” listicles, derivatives of other blogs, or machine-translated bulk.
How we write
- Named sources.Claims about market data or research carry a named, dated source. “Studies show” without a reference gets edited out.
- Own data first. Where possible we use anonymised data from our own implementations (with consent).
- Direct answer at the top. Every article opens with a self-contained 130–170-word answer, so readers (and AI assistants) get the core immediately.
- No AI slop. We write with AI assistance, not AI-only. Every draft passes a human reviewer for factual accuracy, tone, and source verification.
Review process
Each draft passes two checks: a subject-matter review by a second SPAIK colleague and a text review (style, readability, fact check). Only then does it publish — with a publication date and a separate “last updated” date.
Updates and versioning
When an article changes substantively — new numbers, revised advice, outdated recommendations — we update dateModified and note the change at the bottom. Trivial edits (typos) are applied silently.
Corrections
Spotted a mistake? Email info@spaik.io. We correct within 5 business days and add a correction note to the article if the error was substantive.
AI, openness and citations
Our content may be cited by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — we explicitly allow these crawlers via robots.txt. In citations we expect a source reference to the original SPAIK page.
