Editorial Policy

What we publish

WealthLink covers business, marketing, money, real estate, technology, AI, and software — seven mechanisms serving one outcome: helping readers build wealth through better businesses and smarter decisions.

If a piece doesn't advance a reader toward that outcome, we don't publish it.

Our four editorial standards

Every page on this site is held to all four:

1. Actionable. Every guide ends with something you can do — a step, a checklist, a template, or a calculator. Content that only describes a problem isn't finished.

2. Numbers-first. Real figures, real ranges, real math. Where the honest answer is "it depends," we say what it depends on and show you how to work out your own number.

3. Tool-aware. We tell you what to run it on, and we've used the tools we recommend.

4. Honest. Disclosures next to recommendations. No personalized advice. No income claims.

How content gets made

Briefing. Every article starts with a declared format (how-to, guide, review, comparison) and a declared purpose. The format determines the structure; the purpose determines what success looks like.

Research. We use primary sources wherever one exists — IRS publications, regulator guidance, official documentation, and company pricing pages — over secondary reporting.

Writing. Answer-first. The key takeaways sit at the top because most readers need the answer, not the buildup.

Review. YMYL content goes to a credentialed professional before publication. See our review process for who reviews what.

Publication. Every article carries its author, its reviewer where applicable, its publication date, and its last-updated date.

Financial content and YMYL

Content about money, tax, lending, insurance, and investing falls into what Google calls YMYL — "Your Money or Your Life" — where inaccuracy causes real harm.

We treat that seriously:

• Tax content is reviewed by a CPA or enrolled agent
• Legal-structure content is reviewed by an attorney
• Mortgage and lending content is reviewed by a licensed mortgage professional
• Investing and retirement content is reviewed by a qualified financial professional
• Insurance content is reviewed by a licensed agent

Reviewers are named on the page and listed on our experts page with their credentials.

We publish no YMYL content without its required review. If a reviewer isn't available, the article waits. Our publishing volume is limited by review capacity, not the other way around.

Updates and corrections

Scheduled refresh. Content decays, especially in finance. We review on a fixed cadence:

| Content type | Reviewed | |---|---| | Tax, rates, regulatory | Quarterly, and on any rule change | | Software pricing | Quarterly | | Complete guides | Semi-annually | | Calculator formulas and assumptions | Semi-annually | | Evergreen articles | Annually |

Corrections. When we get something materially wrong, we fix it and add a dated correction note to the page. We don't silently edit substantive claims and pretend the original never happened.

Found an error? Tell us — include the page and what's wrong.

What we don't do

• No income claims. We will never tell you that a strategy produces a specific income.
• No personalized advice. We publish general education. Your situation needs a professional who knows it.
• No paid placement in editorial. Companies cannot buy ratings, rankings, or inclusion.
• No AI-generated content published as-is. We use tools in research and drafting, but every published piece is written, edited, and fact-checked by people who are accountable for it by name.
• No content we haven't verified. If we can't source it, it doesn't run.

Independence

Our commercial relationships are disclosed on How We Make Money and in our affiliate disclosure. We publish those pages so you can weigh our incentives against what we've written.
