Isidor Selection Editorial Team

Every record on Isidor Selection carries the editorial team’s byline. Each record lists the evidence it relies on.

What the team writes about

• Criteria & method — how a rubric is written, weighted and applied so that it cannot be adjusted after a result is known.
• Puzzle & logic — rule clarity, solvability, hinting and difficulty curves, described from the designer’s side rather than from a player’s walkthrough.
• Small studio — the practical constraints of one- or two-person teams: scope, store pages, localisation and what a small budget can honestly promise.
• Records & notes — correction logs, retracted claims and the reasoning behind a changed criterion.

How a record is produced

A record starts from primary material: design documentation, a published rules text, an accessibility statement, a store page, or the game’s own tutorial. Each factual claim is tied to something a reader can open and check. Where the material is thin — most often on sales figures, team size and internal process — the record should say so instead of estimating. Records are drafted with generative AI. Before a record is scheduled, the site owner reads it and approves its scope and sources; records are not edited line by line. A separate review compares records with their sources, and a record in which that review finds an error is taken off the site until it is corrected.

The full procedure is on the editorial policy page.
