Living Whitepapers

A whitepaper is usually finished the day it is published, and out of date soon after. These are kept current instead. Every month the sources behind each paper are re-checked, new research and corrections are worked in, and the text is revised where the evidence has moved.

Each paper stays at one address, shows when it was last reviewed, and links every claim to its source so you can check the evidence yourself.

How the papers are kept current

Research and drafting are AI-assisted, working from a fixed scope and a set of starting sources for each paper. Every edition is reviewed by ElementX before it is published, and every claim links to the source behind it. Check that evidence when applying a recommendation to your own work.

Two dates are shown on each paper. The review date is when the sources were last checked; the update date is when the text last changed. Corrections and new findings go into the same page rather than a new document.

Based on Living Whitepaper, the open source project behind the AI Forum New Zealand living whitepaper.
