Editorial Policy
This page explains how the written content on Tool Nectar — calculator descriptions, "how it works" explanations, worked examples, FAQs, and guides — is produced, checked, and kept up to date.
Our Commitment
We're committed to providing accurate, helpful, and trustworthy content you can rely on.
What We Write
Every calculator page on this site includes original explanatory content: what the tool does, the formula or method behind it, a worked example with real numbers, and answers to the questions people actually ask about that calculation. None of this content is copied from other websites, paraphrased from Wikipedia, or generated without review.
How We Verify Accuracy
Before a calculator's explanation is published, we confirm two things separately: that the underlying formula matches the standard, published version used in its field (see examples on our About page — the amortization formula, Jackson-Pollock and Siri body-composition equations, Harris-Benedict and Mifflin-St Jeor energy-expenditure equations, the Cooper test, Pearson correlation, and similar established methods), and that the calculator's code actually implements that formula correctly by testing it against known reference values — hand-calculated results, textbook examples, or figures published alongside the original formula.
Where a formula has more than one commonly used convention (for example, different methods for calculating quartiles, or different rounding conventions), we state which one we use directly on the page instead of leaving it ambiguous.
Sourcing
Our calculators are built on formulas that are public, standard, and widely published in their respective fields (finance, statistics, exercise physiology, and general mathematics) rather than on a single proprietary source. Where a specific named method is used — a named equation, test, or standard — we say so on the relevant page so you can independently verify it.
Corrections
If a formula, worked example, or FAQ answer is found to be inaccurate, we correct it as soon as we can verify the issue. If you spot something that looks wrong, the fastest way to get it fixed is to report it with the specific page URL and what looks incorrect — we read every report.
Updates
Calculator content is revisited when a formula, tax rule, or convention it depends on changes, or when a correction is reported and verified. Each legal and policy page on the site shows the date of its last substantive revision at the top.
What We Don't Do
- We don't publish calculator explanations we haven't verified against a reference calculation.
- We don't let advertising relationships influence a formula, a result, or a recommendation — see our Advertising Disclosure.
- We don't present a calculator result as professional financial, medical, tax, or legal advice — see our Disclaimer.
- We don't fabricate statistics, reviews, or testimonials to make a page look more authoritative than it is.
