Transparency

Editorial standards at SIMO GmbH

Who is accountable for our articles, how they are created, which rules apply to sources, and how to let us know about an error.

As of October 2026

Who is accountable for the content

Every article names who is accountable for it. If a Managing Partner is named, he wrote the article and stands behind it by name. If SIMO GmbH is named, the company is accountable for the article as a whole.

The person responsible for the content under Section 18(2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV) is Thomas Wassum. Full details are in the legal notice.

How content is created

We use AI tools to draft, translate, and copyedit texts. The 3D visualizations on this website are created with AI and labeled at the image.

No version of this website goes live without approval from the managing partners. If a Managing Partner has reviewed an article for subject-matter accuracy, the line “Reviewed by …” appears below the title, with the date of the review.

Sources and evidence

These rules apply to new and revised texts:

  • Figures carry a source or are labeled as a target or as an observed value from practice.
  • We link sources by their original title, not as a bare URL.
  • Legal and regulatory statements carry a date line and the note “not legal advice.”
  • Examples that do not describe a single client case are labeled as a typical scenario.
  • Client quotes appear only with a note of approval; superlatives only with evidence.

Not all older blog articles meet these rules yet. We are revising them step by step, merging some and archiving outdated ones.

Currency

Every article shows when it was published. If it has been revised in substance, the date of the last update appears as well.

Model and product names, the status of laws, and deadlines change quickly. We therefore state them with an as-of date.

Corrections and feedback

Found an error or an outdated statement? Write to us. Please include the page address and the passage.

When we correct an article in substance, we update the date of the last revision.
