Our Principles
A short, plain statement of how this network operates — meant to be read in under a minute.
- We explain our assumptions. We don't hide them. If a number depends on a judgment call, you'll see it, not just the result.
- We cite our sources whenever practical. Government agencies, established industry surveys, and recognized methodology — named, not vague.
- We update our work when better information becomes available. Rates, rules, and guidance change. Our calculators are dated, and they get revised.
- We build educational tools, not professional advice. Every calculator here is meant to prepare you for a conversation with a real professional, not replace one.
- We would rather admit uncertainty than offer false precision. A range or a flagged assumption is more honest than a confident-looking number that isn't.
- We welcome corrections. If something's wrong, we want to know. Accuracy matters more than being right the first time.
