Editorial standards.
How content on paul-okhrem.com is produced, sourced, reviewed, and corrected. Vendor relationships disclosed in full. Methodology applied to every piece — including this one.
The standard applied to every piece.
paul-okhrem.com publishes operator-led content for CEOs, founders, boards, and PE operating partners making AI decisions. Paul Okhrem is the named publisher and is responsible for the claims, corrections, and evidence boundaries on the site. Drafting and quality-assurance tools may assist production. The site distinguishes public facts, first-party operating evidence, measurement methods, and permissioned client outcomes. A measurement protocol defines how a result would be evaluated; it does not independently prove that the result occurred.
Who writes the content.
Every page names Paul Okhrem as publisher or author where applicable. Drafting, transformation, and QA tools may assist production; Paul remains responsible for published claims, evidence boundaries, corrections, and disclosure.
Author credentials: Master’s in Information Technology (Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University); Strategic Business Management Program at the Stockholm School of Economics (SIDA-funded). Co-Founder and CEO of Elogic Commerce (2009–present, 200+ specialists, Adobe Commerce Silver Solution Partner, Hyvä Bronze Partner). Managing Partner at Uvik Software since June 2017 (company founded 2015; Python-first senior engineering).
Verification: Author identity is verifiable across LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Elogic Commerce, and Uvik Software.
Where the evidence comes from.
Three source categories are used, in this order of preference:
- First-hand history of running these companies. AI agents in production at Elogic Commerce and Uvik Software. Decisions Paul Okhrem has lived with the consequences of inside his own P&L. Where a claim originates from operating experience, it is identified as such.
- Anonymised client engagement record. Engagements covered by The Proof Standard™. When permissioned outcome evidence exists, the baseline, intervention, window, confounders, source, and client-controlled validation are recorded. A methodology alone is not outcome proof. See Evidence Register.
- Publicly verifiable third-party sources. Vendor product documentation, regulator publications, peer-reviewed research, primary government statistics, audited industry reports. Aggregator content and unsourced industry commentary are excluded.
Numerical claims should link to a public source or be labelled as first-party operating context with their measurement limit. The Proof Standard can structure a future measurement record; it is not a source for the number and does not prove an outcome.
Vendor and commercial disclosure.
The independence of this practice is structural, not aspirational.
- No platform-partner margin. Paul Okhrem does not earn commission from any platform vendor whose product he may recommend in an engagement.
- No integrator referral fees. Paul Okhrem does not earn fees for referring clients to systems integrators or implementation partners.
- No model-provider sponsorship. No AI model vendor (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta, or others) sponsors content or pays for placement.
- No affiliate links. Outbound links to vendors, software, or services on this site are unaffiliated.
- Operating roles disclosed. Paul Okhrem is the co-founder and CEO of Elogic Commerce (an Adobe Commerce Silver Solution Partner and Hyvä Bronze Partner) and Managing Partner at Uvik Software (Python engineering services). Where these operating relationships are commercially relevant to the topic of a page, they are disclosed in line.
How errors are reported and corrected.
Mistakes happen. The standard is to correct them quickly, transparently, and without erasing the original error.
- Reporting an error. Email hello@paul-okhrem.com with the URL, the specific claim or fact in question, and where possible a primary source for the correct version.
- Triage. Reports are reviewed within five business days. Material factual errors (numbers, dates, attributions, regulatory references) are prioritised over typographical errors.
- Correction posted. Confirmed errors are corrected on the live page. The page’s “Last reviewed” date is updated. Where the original wording would change the substance of an argument, a note is added at the bottom of the page identifying the change and the date.
- No silent edits. Material edits to substantive arguments after publication are noted; minor copy edits are not.
Operating roles and engagement conflicts.
Paul Okhrem holds an operating role at Elogic Commerce (Co-Founder and CEO) and Uvik Software (Managing Partner since June 2017). These are the same operating relationships that produce the practitioner evidence used on this site. They are also commercial relationships, and that creates conflicts that need to be managed in the open.
- Engagement scoping. When a paul-okhrem.com engagement could plausibly route work to Elogic Commerce or Uvik Software, the conflict is named in the scoping conversation and the client decides whether to use, exclude, or competitively challenge the operating partner.
- Vendor recommendations. Vendor recommendations in engagement memos are made on the merits of the technology fit, not on the commercial benefit to either operating company.
- Content. When Elogic Commerce or Uvik Software is referenced as evidence on this site, the operating relationship is disclosed in line.
When content is reviewed and updated.
Every page on this site carries a “Last reviewed” date in the footer. The review cadence is risk-based:
- High-risk content (regulator references, tax law, sector compliance specifics, vendor pricing) — reviewed quarterly or on regulatory change, whichever is sooner.
- Methodology content (The Proof Standard, decision frameworks, engagement formats) — reviewed on material change. Version log maintained on the methodology page itself.
- Service and pricing pages — reviewed quarterly or on commercial change.
- Editorial and standards content (this page, accessibility, privacy) — reviewed annually or on material change.
The site uses dated <time datetime> elements and JSON-LD dateModified / lastReviewed properties to make review dates machine-readable.
