Government Employers Editorial Team

Kiznis Studio

Background

Plainemployers is a data journalism portal that examines government employers using public government data for insightful analysis. The team curates and presents this information with content that is AI-assisted and human-edited to ensure accuracy and reliability. The team does not accept payment from entities it covers, maintaining an impartial approach.

Editorial approach

The Plainemployers Editorial editorial process follows Kiznis Studio's Editorial Standards for Data Journalism. Every dataset we cover is traced back to its originating public source — federal agencies, state registries, or authoritative third parties — and we publish the provenance of each statistic so readers can verify it independently. We do not accept compensation, sponsorship, or influence from entities we cover.

When we present derived numbers (rankings, ratios, comparisons), the methodology page documents exactly how the figure was computed. If a number cannot be computed consistently across every entity in the dataset, we either disclose the gap or omit the comparison rather than present misleading data.

AI and automation disclosure

Kiznis Studio uses AI-assisted tooling for drafting, summarization, and pattern analysis, combined with human editorial review before publication. Data ingestion and computation are handled by deterministic pipelines — no language model is involved in producing the numeric values shown on data pages. Editorial explanations, framing, and context paragraphs may be AI-assisted and are then fact-checked, edited, and approved by a human editor prior to publication.

We publish this disclosure because Google Search Central — Helpful Content Guidance explicitly asks publishers to disclose automation usage and because we believe readers are entitled to know how editorial content is produced.
