Editorial
AI Disclosure
Last updated: May 9, 2026. This page explains how AI writing tools are used at RCH Renewables and what that means for the accuracy and accountability of content on this site.
The short version
Some content on this site is drafted with AI writing assistance. A licensed RCH Renewables founder reviews, edits, and approves every piece before it is published. The AI does not decide what we claim, what we recommend, or what sources we cite. Those judgments come from our founders based on direct field experience and verified research.
What AI does in our process
- ✓Drafting article structure and prose from outlines and research notes provided by our founders.
- ✓Formatting content for the web (headers, lists, schema markup) based on approved content requirements.
- ✓Checking drafts for consistency with our sourcing standards, hard rules, and brand voice guidelines.
What AI does not do
- ✕Determine what factual claims are made. All claims must be traceable to a verified source or direct field experience before being included.
- ✕Select which photos, testimonials, or job statistics appear on a page. Those are drawn from real RCH project records.
- ✕Make recommendations about which products to buy or which incentives apply to your situation. That guidance comes from Ian or Landon directly during a consultation.
- ✕Publish anything autonomously. Every page goes through human review and approval before it goes live.
Human accountability
Every piece of content on this site has a credited human author who is personally accountable for its accuracy. That author is a working contractor with a California C-10 license, direct installation experience, and professional standing to lose if the content is wrong.
AI tools do not hold licenses. They do not pull permits. They cannot verify whether a product pricing figure is accurate or whether an incentive program is still open for applications. Our founders do. The AI is a drafting tool, not the author of record.
Why we disclose this
We disclose AI use because we think you deserve to know how content you read was produced, particularly on a site covering financial and safety-relevant topics like electrical work and home energy systems.
Disclosure is also consistent with Google's quality rater guidelines, which call for transparency about content production processes on sites covering Your Money or Your Life topics.
Questions
If you have questions about how a specific piece of content was produced, contact us. If you believe something is factually incorrect, we want to know immediately.
