Methodology

Below are the rules for choosing topics and working with data. The limits of what is written are stated here directly.

How a piece begins

We work on subjects where a clear answer is hard to find. The analysis runs on data with the source and the period stated.

What the reader should keep in mind

What is written here is not individual advice. Details we do not know about are capable of changing the conclusion entirely.

Review and edits

A review starts by checking what has changed at the source. Moving a comma is not accompanied by a new date.

Editorial policy

Material on this site is prepared and checked by Eleanor Ashworth.
