Editorial standards

Worth stating, given how much of the internet no longer meets them.

Written by a named practitioner

Every post carries the author and their working role. If a mentor did not write it, it does not go up.

No AI-generated articles

We use AI tools daily and teach them. We do not publish machine-written articles under a person’s name.

Numbers get sourced or dropped

Any salary figure or statistic carries a source. If we cannot source it, we leave it out rather than rounding a guess.

No course selling inside posts

A post either helps you or it does not. There is one link at the end and no pretence otherwise.

Something you want written about?

Tell us the question you cannot get a straight answer to and we will put it to the relevant mentor.
