These are the principles that guide every article, guide and pillar on this site. They exist to make the reader-writer relationship as clear as possible.
Accuracy
We check factual claims against primary sources wherever possible — laws, peer-reviewed research, industry guidance and manufacturer disclosures. Where a claim rests on limited evidence we say so.
Sourcing
We link to primary sources in-line where useful. When a claim rests on a single source, we say so. When sources disagree, we describe the disagreement rather than pick a side without cause.
Corrections
Corrections are visible and dated. If a factual claim in a published article turns out to be wrong, we update the article, add an editor’s note describing the change and update the “last modified” date.
Health claims
We do not make claims about disease treatment, prevention or cure. We do not offer individualised medical guidance. When health topics come up, we use neutral educational language and suggest that readers with specific health questions speak with an appropriate qualified professional.
Legal claims
We do not offer legal advice. Legality is a jurisdictional, changing question, and we defer to the reader’s own current local rules.
Independence
Editorial content is not paid for, sponsored or ranked in exchange for consideration from brands. If that ever changes — for example, through clearly labelled sponsorships — we will disclose it here first.
Transparency
Every article names its author and lists the publish and last-updated dates. Where any conflict of interest exists, we disclose it in-line.
