The Comment That Made Us Rethink Everything
About eight months into running Creatifyo, a reader left a comment on one of our Ehsaas Program articles that stopped us cold.
She wrote — in Urdu, which I’m translating here — something like: “I went to the office because of your article and they told me the deadline had passed three months ago. I wasted a full day’s travel and my bus fare. Please fix your website.”
She was right. The article had accurate information when we published it. But the scheme deadline had changed and we hadn’t updated the post. To her, it didn’t matter that we’d been correct at some point. She made a real-world decision based on what she read on our site, and it cost her time and money she couldn’t afford to lose.
That comment is pinned to the wall above our editorial workspace. It’s the clearest reminder we have of why editorial standards aren’t just an internal formality — they directly affect real people’s lives.
This page explains exactly how we decide what to publish, how we verify it, and what happens when we get something wrong.
What Creatifyo Covers — And What We Don’t
Creatifyo is an independent information platform. We cover Pakistani government schemes, welfare programs, and citizen benefits. That includes things like:
- Federal programs: BISP, Ehsaas, Sehat Sahulat, PM Youth Loan, Kamyab Jawan, and others
- Provincial initiatives: Punjab, Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, AJK, and Gilgit-Baltistan programs
- Registration processes, eligibility criteria, payment schedules, and application guidance
- Updates and changes to existing programs
What we don’t cover: political opinion, partisan commentary, or editorials that take sides on government policy debates. If a scheme changes under a new government, we report the change — we don’t editorialize about whether the change was good or bad.
Our job is to inform, not to advocate. That line is something we actively maintain.
Where Our Information Comes From
Every article on Creatifyo is based on sourced, verifiable information. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Primary Sources First
Our first stop is always the official source. For federal programs, that means official government portals — bisp.gov.pk, ehsaas.gov.pk, nadra.gov.pk, finance.gov.pk, and the relevant ministry websites. For provincial programs, we go to the respective provincial government portals.
We read the original notifications. We look at the official press releases. When budget announcements are made, we go to the actual budget documents, not just the headlines.
If an eligibility criterion is stated in an official government document, we cite that document. If payment amounts come from an official notification, we say so and link to it where it’s publicly accessible.
Secondary Sources — With Caution
We do sometimes reference reputable news organizations — Dawn, Geo, ARY, The News, Tribune — for context, timing, or to understand how an announcement has been reported publicly. But we always try to verify those reports against primary sources before including them in our own articles.
We’ve learned the hard way that news headlines sometimes get details wrong, especially around scheme eligibility numbers and deadlines. More than once we’ve caught a figure in a news report that didn’t match the actual official notification. Primary source always wins.
Reader Tips and Community Feedback
Sometimes readers tell us about things we haven’t covered yet — a new provincial scheme, a change in payment dates, a registration window opening. We welcome this. But reader tips are treated as leads for investigation, not as publishable facts. We verify before we publish.
How an Article Gets Published
This is the actual workflow, not a sanitized version of it.
Step 1 — Topic identification. We identify a scheme or update that’s relevant to our readers. This comes from monitoring official government channels, social media accounts of relevant ministries, reader queries, and our own awareness of what’s happening in the policy space.
Step 2 — Source gathering. Before writing starts, we pull the official documents. The actual notification, the official portal page, the press release. We screenshot these in case they change or get taken down.
Step 3 — Writing. Articles are written by our team in plain, accessible language. We aim for clarity over comprehensiveness — a reader in a village using mobile data on a 3G connection should be able to read our article and understand what they need to do.
Step 4 — Fact check. Before publishing, a second person on the team checks the key facts: eligibility criteria, dates, amounts, application steps. We compare what’s written against the source documents.
Step 5 — Publishing with source links. Every article includes links to the official sources wherever they’re publicly available. We believe in showing our work.
Step 6 — Scheduling for review. We set a reminder to revisit time-sensitive articles — especially anything with deadlines, registration windows, or payment schedules. These get a formal review date assigned at the time of publication.
How We Handle Updates and Corrections
This is where a lot of content sites cut corners. We try not to.
Updates
When a scheme changes — new eligibility rules, extended deadlines, revised payment amounts — we update the original article rather than publishing a new one. Why? Because the original article is often what people find via Google. Publishing a “new” article while leaving the old one live with outdated information is how readers get confused.
When we update an article, we:
- Add an “Updated:” notice at the top with the date of the update
- Summarize what changed in the update notice so returning readers know what’s new
- Keep the update note separate from the original article body so it’s clearly visible
Corrections
When we publish something that turns out to be wrong — factually incorrect, based on a misread of an official document, or overtaken by events we didn’t know about — we correct it. Clearly, promptly, and without hiding what happened.
We add a “Correction:” notice at the top of the article explaining what was wrong and what the correct information is. We don’t quietly edit the text and pretend the error never existed. That approach erodes trust, and trust is the only thing that makes an information site like ours useful.
The woman who left that comment about the Ehsaas deadline? That article now has an update notice at the top, a reminder to always check the official portal for current deadlines, and a “Last Verified” date. It’s a small thing, but it’s a change we made because of her.
Independence and Conflicts of Interest
Creatifyo is not funded by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any government department, ministry, or political party. We receive no payments from government sources. No scheme gets “featured” because someone paid for it to be.
We earn revenue through display advertising — primarily Google AdSense. Advertisers have no influence over editorial decisions. An ad running on a page about BISP does not mean BISP has paid us, sponsored us, or reviewed the article before publication.
If that ever changes — if we enter any kind of sponsored content arrangement — we will label it clearly and separately from our regular editorial content. To date, that hasn’t happened.
Our Standards for Headlines and Titles
This one matters more than people realize.
We don’t use misleading headlines. We don’t write “BISP Giving Rs. 25,000 to Everyone” when the reality is more nuanced than that. Clickbait headlines on government scheme content are genuinely harmful — they raise expectations, cause people to show up at offices unprepared, and erode trust in legitimate programs.
Our headline rule is simple: the headline should accurately represent what the article actually says. If the headline sounds too good to be true, we rewrite it.
We also avoid fear-based framing — “Your BISP Payment Has Been STOPPED!” type headlines — unless that’s actually what’s happening. Alarming readers unnecessarily is not journalism, and it’s not something we want to be known for.
How We Handle Reader Comments
Comments on Creatifyo are reviewed before being approved for public display. We do this not to suppress criticism, but because government scheme articles attract spam, fake links, and occasionally people posting personal information (CNICs, account numbers) publicly without realizing the risk.
Comments we approve: genuine questions, experiences, corrections, and feedback — including critical feedback.
Comments we don’t approve: spam, links to unofficial or suspicious third-party sites, personal CNIC or banking information (we remove these to protect the commenter), and content that impersonates government officials.
If a reader’s comment points out an error in an article, we investigate it. If they’re right, we correct the article and respond to acknowledge it. We’ve done this multiple times, and those readers deserve credit for making the site more accurate.
Guest Contributions
Occasionally we publish content from external contributors — researchers, policy analysts, or subject matter experts who want to explain something in our coverage areas.
Guest contributions go through the same fact-checking process as our own articles. We don’t publish them simply because someone submitted them. We verify the claims, check the sources, and edit for clarity.
Guest contributors are identified by name in the article. We don’t ghostwrite content on behalf of government departments or organizations — if an article is written by a government communication team, we won’t publish it as independent Creatifyo content.

We read everything. Responses may take a few days, but we don’t ignore messages about factual accuracy — those go to the top of the queue.
A Final Thought on Why This Matters
Most websites publish an Editorial Policy because platforms like Google require it. We get that. But ours exists because of that comment pinned to our wall.
There are millions of people in Pakistan trying to access government programs that can genuinely change their financial situation. Many of them have limited time, limited internet access, and no margin for wasted trips or missed deadlines.
When someone trusts us enough to make a real-world decision based on what we’ve written, we owe them accuracy. That’s not a policy we follow because it looks good — it’s just the basic obligation that comes with publishing information people actually use.
