# Methodology

skill issue is a public-source index of AI knowledge and practice, not a certification or endorsement. Each entry links to its source and credits its creator.

## Inclusion and review

Prefer original papers, documentation, rulings, reports and first-person accounts. Sources should be on topic, specific, substantive, attributable and accessible. Clearly labelled news outlets, tools and products may use a homepage. Secondhand incident reporting is explicitly labelled when no primary account is established. News entries require editorial review; URL checks alone do not establish content quality.

## Levels and metadata

Learning levels describe prerequisites, with inclusive ranges. Entities and unrated entries are excluded from numbered levels. Missing language is omitted, never inferred from geography. Region is a broad supplied publisher-location facet, not nationality or endorsement.

## Dates and updates

Added dates use the first data commit, retaining an earlier existing date; a dated import filename is the fallback for new uncommitted imports. Last modified combines added, verified and content-edit dates. Imports and corrections are reviewed in batches; no fixed update frequency is promised. Link checks can be run locally, with challenges and unknown results kept distinct from confirmed failures.

## Reuse and verification

The JSON index is freely readable. No blanket reuse license for third-party resources or the assembled index is asserted here; consult each original source. Supplier checks are labelled and do not imply independent verification. Automated checks cover catalog parity, links, privacy and hosting limits, not legal advice.
