Editorial standards

How AurorIQ uses sources, AI assistance and corrections. Updated October 5, 2026.

Who is responsible?

AurorIQ is published and maintained by Muhammad Ali Rao, its founder and developer. Article bylines identify that editorial responsibility; they do not claim a clinical qualification or sole unaided authorship. AurorIQ remains the website publisher. No independent clinical peer review is claimed.

How research is used

Prefer original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and testing standards. Institutional explanations can supply context. Check what was measured, who was studied, whether a result is correlational, and the limitations before applying it to a claim. Where only an abstract or publisher summary is accessible, keep the claim within that evidence; do not imply a full-text review.

A source supporting working memory or interest measurement does not validate AurorIQ's short tasks. Separate established research, implementation choices, model-based interpretations and speculation. Use visible References sections with nearby links for scientific claims. Never substitute a citation list for claim checking.

AI assistance

AI has assisted AurorIQ's code development, drafting, editing and organization of research for this release. AI output is not a source, a scientific reviewer or evidence of validity. Links and claims must be checked against the cited material and the actual implementation. Muhammad Ali Rao retains responsibility for deciding what to publish and maintain; this policy does not claim that every passage has received independent human expert review.

Fact checking and limits

Check scoring explanations against the code and research claims against the cited source. Remove unsupported precision, outcome promises and claims of credentials or validation. Where uncertainty remains, state it or omit the claim. If an error is found after publication, use the corrections process.

Publication and updates

Preserve existing publication dates when available. Add a modified date only for a substantive change to explanation, evidence or interpretation, and describe the change. A byline, date or citation is not certification. Pages are reviewed when errors, meaningful new evidence or product changes come to attention; no scheduled expert-review program is claimed.

Commercial independence

Advertising does not set answer keys, scores or report interpretations. Disclose sponsored or affiliate relationships where they appear if introduced. Links to AurorIQ tools are product navigation, not supporting scientific evidence. See the advertising policy, methodology and privacy notice.
