Revolv Signal is our editorial property: long-form essays on AI, relationships, organizational design, and professional growth. We publish because we have a thesis, not because we have a content calendar. These standards describe how Signal articles are researched, attributed, sourced, and corrected.
Every Signal article is authored and bylined by a named person at Revolv. Today that means founder Jon Chu on every piece. When a guest contributor publishes on Signal, the byline reflects the actual author and their role, with a short bio linking to their professional profile.
We do not publish anonymously, under pseudonyms, or under ghost-written bylines. If an article is co-authored, both contributors are listed.
Quantitative claims: percentages, dollar figures, study findings, are linked inline to the primary source. Where a number comes from an external report (McKinsey, BCG, Oxford, Harvard Business Review, LinkedIn Economic Graph), the source is named in the sentence and linked to the original publication.
Claims drawn from Jon's own experience, customer conversations, or internal Revolv observations are flagged as such in the text ("In my last month of executive conversations...") so readers can distinguish anecdote from peer-reviewed research.
Frameworks and concepts coined on Signal: context decay, relationship intelligence, the Apex Pyramid, are labeled as such on first use so readers know they are not citing an external academic source.
Signal articles are written by a human and edited by a human. We use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, grammar assistants) in the drafting and revision workflow the same way we use a spell checker or a style guide: as a tool in service of a writer who remains responsible for every sentence published.
We do not publish AI-generated content as if it were human-authored, and we do not publish articles that have not been reviewed end-to-end by the bylined author.
If we publish an error, we correct it. Material corrections (a wrong statistic, a misattributed quote, a factual error that affects the argument) are fixed in the article and reflected in the "Updated" timestamp visible under the byline. Typo-level edits are made silently.
Spot an error? Email hello@therevolv.com with the article title and the specific claim you're flagging. We acknowledge every correction report within three business days.
Signal articles are evergreen thesis pieces, not news. We revisit articles when the underlying data shifts, e.g., when a referenced study is superseded, or when a framework described in the article evolves. Every article displays a "Published" date and an "Updated" date when material changes have been made.
Signal articles make claims about Revolv's product when those claims are relevant to the argument. We disclose those ties plainly: "the company I founded", "we built Revolv to...", rather than laundering them through third-party framing.
Revolv Signal does not accept paid placement, sponsored articles, or affiliate content. Every article is an expression of what Revolv believes.
