Editorial Standards
Last Updated: September 3, 2026 · Accountable author: William Vasquez
The Short Version
Blog posts on this site are AI-drafted, attorney-attributed to William Vasquez (NC Bar, 2011), machine-validated before publish, and corrected on the record when they are wrong. No human editor reads a draft before it goes live. If that changes, this page changes.
Table of Contents
This policy governs everything published under /blog and its Spanish twin at /es/blog — several hundred articles on AI in legal practice, client intake, voice agents, and law firm marketing — along with the glossary and research pages those articles link to. It does not cover our product, pricing, or case-study pages, which are marketing copy written by the Hodos360 team, and it does not cover third-party material we quote and attribute.
Two facts matter more than anything else on this page, so they go first: our blog posts are drafted by an AI system, and every one of them is published under the name of a practising attorney who is accountable for it. Everything below explains how that works in practice.
The blog is produced by an automated pipeline that runs on AWS Lambda three times a day — 05:30, 13:30, and 21:30 IST. A full run takes roughly five minutes and produces one bilingual article. These are the stages, in order.
The pipeline monitors Google News (via SearchAPI), a set of legal and legal-technology RSS feeds, and the GDELT news index. Candidates are de-duplicated, then scored for relevance to legal practice on a 0-100 scale; anything at or below 50 is discarded. Each candidate is also fingerprinted and compared against every post already in our database, so the same story is not covered twice.
A single Gemini 2.5 Flash pass writes the article in English and Spanish against a fixed brief: 1,500-2,000 words, five or more H2 sections, five or more FAQ entries, named people, named companies and real figures instead of generic filler, and no more than one or two mentions of Hodos360 in the entire piece. Drafts that come back under 1,500 words go through an expansion pass. If the bilingual pass fails to produce Spanish, a dedicated translation pass runs on the English payload, so the Spanish edition is a translation of the English article rather than a separately researched piece.
The draft is then mechanically cleaned and checked — raw HTML stripped, invented internal links removed, moved source URLs repaired, duplicate headlines renamed. The full list is on our fact-checking page.
The cleaned draft is scored against a twelve-criterion rubric worth 100 points, covering title, meta description, length, keyword use, heading structure, internal and external links, FAQ coverage, calls to action, contents list, and legal citations. Below 85 the draft is sent back to the model for further refinement rounds. Four conditions fail a draft outright: fewer than 1,000 words, no FAQ section, no calls to action, or a title over 65 characters.
Four images are generated for each post — a header, two infographics, and a concept image. These are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of real people, places, or events, and should not be read as documentary.
The article is written to our database and published immediately. The sitemap is updated, the page cache is revalidated, both the English and Spanish URLs are submitted for indexing, and related articles are cross-linked.
Our blog posts are AI-drafted. There is no human copy-editor sitting between the model and the published page. We are telling you this because it is true, and because you could work it out anyway — three posts a day in two languages is not a pace a working lawyer sustains by hand, and you should hear it from us rather than infer it.
Topic selection, drafting in both languages, structural cleaning, scoring, illustration, and publication.
The brief the model writes against, the rubric it is scored against, the list of real site routes its internal links are validated against, the list of moved source URLs, and every decision to correct, rewrite, or remove a post after publication. Those are written and maintained by hand.
We do not claim that an attorney wrote, read, or approved each article before it went live. That would be false and you could disprove it in one look at our publishing cadence. Accountability here is post-publication, and it is personal rather than institutional — a named attorney owns the byline and answers for the content.
Every post on this blog is bylined and schema-attributed to William Vasquez, founder and CEO of Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC and of Hodos360.
His credentials, in full: practising attorney admitted to the North Carolina State Bar since 2011; admitted to the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fourth, Fifth, and Eleventh Circuits; member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA); 3,000+ cases handled personally across immigration, personal injury, criminal defence, family law, and workers' compensation; B.S. in Computer Science from Campbell University; seven years in the U.S. Air Force (2000-2007) as a Defense Intelligence Agency Spanish linguist; Master of Divinity from Oral Roberts University. He founded Vasquez Law Firm in 2011 and Hodos360 in 2024. His profile is at /about/william-vasquez.
That byline is not decoration. It is the point of contact for anything published here: if an article is wrong, it is his name on it, and the correction is his to make.
Hodos360 sells software in the categories our articles discuss — AI voice agents, intake automation, practice management, and law firm marketing. Read us as an interested party, and weigh us accordingly.
Two structural points are worth knowing. First, there is no mechanism in the pipeline for a third party to buy a mention: topics come from news monitoring, not from a sales queue, and no one can pay to appear in or be omitted from an article. Second, the generator's brief caps Hodos360 mentions at one or two per article and requires the closing section to be a practical takeaway rather than a product pitch.
Where we make a claim about our own results, /case-studies is where we put the evidence.
Each article is required to carry two to three external citations, weighted toward primary and authoritative sources — government and university domains, Reuters, Bloomberg, the American Bar Association, and Thomson Reuters — plus at least two legal references such as the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the Federal Rules, statutes, or case law.
Because publishers move pages, we maintain a hand-checked list of source URLs that have relocated and rewrite them at publish time rather than leaving readers on a dead link. One quirk worth naming: americanbar.org returns a 403 to non-browser requests, including from link-checking crawlers, so an ABA citation can be reported as broken by automated tools while being perfectly reachable in a browser.
Statistics, quotations, and attributions in our articles come from the drafting model's reading of its sources. Follow the citation before you rely on a figure — see fact-checking for exactly what we do and do not verify.
Nothing on this blog is legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship with William Vasquez, Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC, or Hodos360. Our articles discuss law and legal technology in general terms; rules of professional conduct, procedure, and privilege vary by jurisdiction and change over time.
Before you act on anything you read here, consult a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction who knows the facts of your matter.
Tell us and we will fix it. Our corrections policy explains when a post is updated in place, when it is rewritten, and what happens after you report a problem.
The fastest route is our contact form — include the article URL and the sentence you are disputing. You can also email info@hodos360.ai.
We will update this page when the pipeline changes, and the "Last Updated" date above will change with it. If we ever add a human review step before publication, this is where it will be described — and until it says so, assume there is none.
Send us the URL and the sentence. We correct on the record.
