How we write

• Every factual claim is checked against official or primary sources, which are listed at the end of each post.
• Numbers in examples are calculated and double-checked before publishing.
• We use writing tools, including AI assistance, for drafting and editing. A person reviews each post and its sources before it goes live.
• We do not accept payment for coverage. If that ever changes, sponsored content will be clearly labeled.

Corrections

If you spot an error, the post will be corrected and the change noted at the end of the article.
