Editorial Policy

Perfomir creates educational and practical content for construction and infrastructure professionals who need clearer information about contractual risk, commercial exposure, claims, notices, contract administration, project delivery and AI-assisted contract intelligence.

Our aim is to make complex subjects easier to understand, highlight practical considerations and help readers identify issues that may require further review. Content is created for informational and educational purposes and is not intended to replace project-specific professional advice.

Editorial content is published by the Perfomir Contract Risk Intelligence Team. Content may be developed using a combination of subject-matter input, research, source material, editorial review and artificial intelligence tools.

The level of research and review may vary depending on the subject. Content dealing with legislation, contractual principles, technical matters or rapidly changing information receives particular attention to source quality, relevance and context.

Perfomir uses artificial intelligence to assist with research, drafting, structuring, editing and content production. AI-assisted content may form part of the initial draft.

Before publication, content is reviewed by the Perfomir Contract Risk Intelligence Team for relevance, accuracy, clarity, source quality and alignment with Perfomir’s subject-matter standards. Where content discusses legislation, contractual principles or other technical matters, authoritative sources are used where practical. Final editorial responsibility remains with Perfomir.

Perfomir does not treat automated output as authoritative simply because it was generated by an AI system. Before publication, content is reviewed in context and may be edited, expanded, shortened, restructured or rejected.

Review focuses on whether the content is useful to the intended audience, whether material statements are reasonably supported, whether important qualifications are included, whether sources are appropriate and whether the final article accurately reflects the subject being discussed.

• Relevance: content should answer a genuine question or help readers understand a practical construction, contract or commercial issue.
• Accuracy: material claims, terminology and conclusions are reviewed in context and qualified where appropriate.
• Clarity: complex technical and contractual concepts should be presented in understandable language without removing important context.

Perfomir aims to use reliable and relevant sources appropriate to the subject being discussed. Where practical, content involving legislation, regulatory requirements or technical matters is checked against primary or authoritative material.

Depending on the topic, sources may include legislation, government publications, regulators, courts and tribunals, recognised industry organisations, official guidance, standards, reputable professional publications and other credible sources.

References may be included within an article or in a dedicated references section where they materially help readers verify or explore the subject further.

Construction contracts and legislation can be highly specific to jurisdiction, project circumstances, contract wording and the parties involved. Perfomir therefore aims to distinguish between general principles and conclusions that would require project-specific professional assessment.

Where an article discusses legislation or contractual mechanisms, readers should consider the current legislation, the actual contract, relevant amendments, project facts and appropriate professional advice before relying on the information for a live project decision.

Perfomir aims to keep published material useful and reasonably current. Articles may be reviewed, revised or expanded when legislation changes, new information becomes available, a material issue is identified or the subject would benefit from clearer explanation.

Older content may remain available where it continues to provide useful context. Publication or update dates should not be treated as a guarantee that every external source, law, regulation or industry practice remains unchanged.

If Perfomir identifies a material factual error, misleading statement, broken reference or other issue that affects the usefulness or accuracy of published content, we may correct or update the relevant material.

Readers who identify a possible error are encouraged to contact us. We will review the issue and, where appropriate, amend the content.

Perfomir develops Contriqo, an AI-assisted contract risk intelligence product for construction and infrastructure teams. Some educational content may refer to Perfomir, Contriqo or related product capabilities where relevant to the subject.

Where Perfomir or Contriqo is discussed, readers should understand that Perfomir has a commercial interest in its own products and services. Educational content is intended to provide useful information and should be considered separately from any decision to purchase or use a Perfomir product.

Content published by Perfomir is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It does not constitute legal, contractual, financial, engineering or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice based on the specific facts, contract terms, jurisdiction and circumstances of a project.

Readers remain responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and making their own project, contractual and commercial decisions.
