Stated plainly, up front

I am not a licensed professional in the fields this site covers. Nothing here is professional advice. It is a record of what public primary sources say, with the arithmetic shown so you can check it.

Inventing a credential would probably help these pages rank. It would also be a lie, and lies get found. Instead this site earns trust the slow way: every figure carries its source and the date it was checked.

What the numbers come from

This site cites Bureau of Labor Statistics wage surveys and producer price indexes and nothing else. Forums, competitor blogs, lead generation sites and other cost guides are not sources here. A figure that cannot be traced to a primary source does not go on the page.

How the pages are made

Openly: drafts are written with AI assistance. The order is what matters. We do not pick a topic and then hunt for sources. We pull the source data first and only write what that data supports. Numbers are never recalled from memory by a model or retyped by a person — they are pulled from the source programmatically.

Every page must clear these checks before it publishes. One failure and it does not go up.

Corrections

Standards change and I get things wrong. If a figure here is wrong, email [email protected] and it goes to the front of the queue. Corrected pages are edited and re-dated, never quietly deleted.
