Editorial policy

How tools and explanations are written, reviewed and corrected.

What gets published

A page is published only when it does something useful on its own. WGX does not publish pages that exist to hold a keyword, and does not generate variations of a page unless each variation answers a different question with different numbers.

How explanations are written

Every calculator page states the formula behind the result and works through at least one example with real figures; every other tool page explains what the tool does to your input. Explanations describe how the tool behaves, including where it stops being reliable — a gross pay figure is not a paycheck, and a page that computes one says so.

Accuracy and review

Calculation logic is covered by automated tests before a tool ships, and the tests are written from the specification rather than from the finished code. When a rule depends on jurisdiction — overtime thresholds, rounding conventions — the page names the assumption it makes instead of presenting one country's rule as universal.

Corrections

Reported errors are reproduced against the test suite. A confirmed error is fixed and the fix is covered by a test so it cannot come back. Where a correction changes results people may have relied on, the change is noted on the tool page.

Advertising and independence

Advertising has no influence on which tools are built or what the explanations say. There is no advertising yet; when it runs, ads will be labeled, kept away from controls and results, and never presented as part of a tool.
