Plain-language disclosure
Pergola Wiki is authored under the organizational publishing identity “Pergola Wiki Editorial Team.” No named licensed architect, engineer, lawyer, accessibility specialist or code official is recorded as an author, and AI is not presented as an individual expert.
Who created the content
The publisher set the objective, authorized the scope and approved publication. The institutional byline is accountable for publishing methods, source relationships, versions and correction boundaries. An organization name cannot substitute for a real biography, so no name, licence, affiliation or professional experience is invented.
How the site was produced
AI assistance was used for drafting, translation, source-metadata organization, static-site coding and automated QA in a publisher-directed workflow. Automated checks cover build integrity, links, metadata, HTML, partial accessibility, interaction regression and checksums. They do not establish technical correctness, source-edition currency, local code adoption or project applicability.
Why the site exists
The primary purpose is free bilingual educational synthesis that helps readers understand pergola terminology, evidence, design questions and verification pathways. One disclosed Oscar Pergola industry link remains in the footer; it does not determine article conclusions, source tiers, product rankings or external-review status.
Machine-readable provenance
The dataset records institutional authorship, AI-assistance scope, named-professional authorship, source count, stable-claim count and external-review status for all 44 topics.
