Who Writes and Reviews This Site

Three people, doing two different jobs. Here is who they are, what each covers, and why only one of those jobs comes with a byline.

These three do two jobs, and the site labels them differently on purpose.

The Desk Notes are written by one of them, from their own experience, and carry their name: "Written and edited by" plus the person. The reference guides and quizzes carry no byline, because they are drafted with AI assistance and claiming somebody sat down and wrote one unaided would be false. What those pages say instead is the part that is true and checkable: "AI-assisted, reviewed and edited by" plus the name of whoever signed it off.

What reviewing means here

Recomputing every worked example, checking definitions against primary sources, and making sure arithmetic that appears in more than one guide reconciles across all of them. A reviewer is the person who decides a page is fit to publish, and the person to whom a mistake on it belongs.

We do not list job titles, employers or qualifications for them, and that is deliberate. A credential is a claim you would weigh when deciding whether to trust financial advice, and this site would rather be judged on whether its reasoning holds and its arithmetic checks out, which is why the working is printed on the page. What the names tell you is that somebody specific is accountable, not that you should defer to them.

If something is wrong

Tell us through the contact page and we will correct it and note the change. The wider standards are in the editorial policy, and what the tools do and never do is on how we use AI.
