PapersAdda is a small editorial operation. One editor, a transparent pipeline, and a hard rule against fabrication. Here is exactly how an article goes from source to published page.
Each article begins with a primary source - a candidate's LinkedIn post, a verified Reddit thread on r/devIndia or r/cscareerquestions, an official company careers page, an SEC/RoC public filing, or a candidate-submitted offer letter. Articles without a documented primary source do not enter the writing pipeline.
Numbers (CTC, cutoffs, in-hand pay) are cross-referenced against at least one second source - typically Glassdoor's salary database, levels.fyi, AmbitionBox, or a second candidate report. If sources disagree, both ranges are published and the disagreement is called out in the article body.
First-pass research scaffolds and FAQ expansion use AI assistance - currently Claude (Anthropic) and occasionally GPT-4 class models. This is disclosed in the editorial policy. AI does not replace verification or final judgment. No article ships without human review.
Every article is read by Aditya Sharma (founder/editor) before publication. Review checks: factual accuracy against the cited primary source, internal consistency, removal of fabrications (no fake '#1 ranked' claims, no invented testimonials, no hallucinated company names), and editorial voice.
A 400-word minimum is enforced for every indexed article. Stub content (under 400 words) is excluded from the sitemap and tagged noindex. Articles that fail to cite a verifiable source are either rewritten with proper sourcing or dropped from the publication queue. The gate is automated and runs on every commit.
Every dated article (2026 pattern guides, salary breakdowns, cutoff trends) is reviewed at least once per hiring cycle. Stale articles are either updated with fresh data or retired from the sitemap - we do not leave outdated content on the domain. Factual corrections ship within 48 hours of a verified report and carry a visible 'Updated on' date.
The repo behind PapersAdda is public on GitHub: github.com/Declan142/placement-papers. Every article's edit history, commit log, and sourcing pipeline lives there. If you need to audit a fact or claim, the trail is open.
