We've developed these editorial policies to familiarize you with our practices and the careful process we follow to deliver content you can trust and depend on.
Our Core Principles
Technical Accuracy
Every calculator is developed by our team of professionals with computer science backgrounds and expertise in algorithm design. We prioritize mathematical precision and reliability in all our tools, ensuring they provide accurate results for your calculations.
Thorough Testing
Each calculator undergoes comprehensive testing with multiple data sets and edge cases to ensure accuracy. Our team cross-checks calculations against established formulas and standards, while also focusing on making explanations clear and accessible for all users.
Regular Updates and Maintenance
We maintain a schedule for reviewing and updating our calculators and supporting content. Fields that evolve rapidly, such as finance, receive more frequent updates to reflect current regulations, rates, and standards. Our commitment to maintenance ensures you have access to reliable and current information.
User Feedback Integration
We value user perspectives and carefully review all feedback. When issues or suggestions are submitted, they're evaluated by our development team. This collaborative approach helps us continuously refine our calculators based on real user experiences. You can submit feedback through our contact page.
Transparency in Methodology
We believe in complete transparency about how our calculators work. Each tool includes explanations of the underlying formulas, methodologies, and data sources used. When applicable, we reference academic research, industry standards, and guidelines that inform our calculations. This transparency allows you to understand not just the results, but also the reasoning behind them.
Our Development Process
Research and Planning
Our process begins with research to identify user needs and gather reliable information sources. We analyze existing methodologies, consult reference materials, and review established standards to determine the most accurate approach for each calculator.
"Each calculator starts with a fundamental question: what problem are we solving, and how can we provide the most accurate solution while making it accessible to everyone?"
— Artsiom, Lead Developer
Algorithm Design and Testing
Our development team creates precise computational algorithms based on established mathematical principles. Each algorithm undergoes testing with various data sets and edge cases to ensure accuracy across different scenarios.
Calculators are rigorously tested to verify accuracy across different scenarios and edge cases.
