Editorial & Tool Quality Policy
Last updated:
Every tool we publish must earn its place. This policy describes the standards we hold ourselves to and what we refuse to do.
What every tool must have
Before a tool is indexed, it must:
- Actually work and return a correct result for valid input.
- Open with a clear, original explanation of what it does.
- Show the formula or method it uses.
- Include at least three worked examples you can verify.
- Answer the real questions people ask about it (FAQ).
- Link to genuinely related tools.
- State how your data is handled and when it was last updated.
Pages that fall short of this bar are not indexed. See our Calculation Methodology for how we build and check the math.
What we don’t do
- No thin, mass-produced pages. We don’t generate endless near-duplicate pages that differ only by a number (for example, a separate page for every value of a conversion). One good tool with a reference table beats a thousand empty pages.
- No fake or “coming soon” tools. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t publish.
- No copy-paste filler. Explanations, examples, and FAQs are written for each specific tool, not spun from a template.
- No fake reviews, ratings, or expert profiles, and no unsourced statistics.
- No misleading claims. We don’t promise outcomes our tools can’t deliver (for example, “improve your lottery odds”).
Sensitive (YMYL) topics
For tools involving money, health, legal, or tax matters, we present results as estimates, show the formula and assumptions, add a clear disclaimer, and point you to professional help. We do not give advice, diagnoses, or definitive judgments.
Independence
Our content and rankings are not for sale. Advertising never buys favorable placement in a tool, a result, or our internal links. See the Advertising Policy.
