Rule aeo-012 · content_validator · hypothesis, not yet confirmed

Ban ungrounded superlatives and statistics unless tied to a cited source field in CMS.

Applies to: blog, product, landing, social

Hypothesis: the reasoning is published, but no independent evidence confirms it yet. Test it on your own pages before you rely on it.

Why this matters

Banning them is intended to reduce slop and hallucination-friendly copy in generative drafts.

Implementation

Type: validator

Anti-pattern

'Best in class', '#1', or precise stats with no source.
