Fayetteville Insider is a researched guide, and this page explains plainly how it gets made: where the facts come from, how AI fits in, where the pictures come from and how the site earns money. The short version is that you should be able to check anything it tells you.
Where the facts come from
Every page lists the sources it drew on and the date its facts were checked. Prices, hours, dates, distances and phone numbers come from primary documents or the operator's own published page, never from memory or another guide. When sources disagree on something that changes your plans, the page gives the practical answer and links to where it came from. Figures more than a year old come down rather than linger.
What the guide doesn't pretend
Nobody on the site's staff has visited these places yet. So the pages describe them from documents and from visitor reports that are credited to the people who made them, and they don't review restaurants, lodging, trails or trips as if someone had been there. When a visit does happen, the page will say who went and when.
How AI is used
AI tools help organize research, draft text and check copy. A person decides what each page says, checks every figure against its source and answers for the result.
About the pictures
The photographs on this site are AI-generated illustrations of real places in and around Fayetteville, made for this site from public-domain references where they exist. Each one is labeled as an illustration in its alt text, and they'll be swapped for the site's own photographs as those get taken. No image shows the inside or the food of a named business as if photographed there, and no image shows a real person.
How the site makes money
Lodging maps and some booking links are affiliate links, so the site may earn a commission if you book through one, at no extra cost to you. Those links are marked as sponsored. No business pays to be included, no write-up is traded for a free stay or meal, and no tourism office edits what the site publishes.
Corrections

Factual errors get fixed on the page with a dated note, and the checked
date changes only when the facts were actually re-verified, never just to make a page look fresh.
