Methodology

This page explains how work on the material is organised: where topics come from, what the conclusions rest on and where the limits of what is written lie.

Choosing topics and working with data

Topics come from questions readers actually ask, not from a list of popular queries. Conclusions rest on data whose owner and date can be named.

What the material does not replace

The material is for reference and does not replace professional advice. Decisions with legal or financial consequences should be taken together with a qualified specialist.

Reviewing what is published

A published piece is revisited when the data it rests on changes. The date of such a review is shown on the page itself.

Editorial policy

Material on this site is prepared and checked by Dylan Mercer.
