Our editorial commitments.
Last updated
The reader’s needs come first
Our focus is household budgeting and general education. We do not give personalized investment, tax, legal, or debt-settlement advice. A challenge or savings target should never require someone to skip food, housing, healthcare, or essential bills.
Authorship and review
Pocket & Plan Editorial is the publication byline. It does not identify a licensed adviser, certified planner, or named expert. The current articles were produced with AI assistance, primary sources, and original illustrative examples. They have not received a named financial professional’s review.
Future contributor profiles must describe real experience and qualifications. A professional review label requires a completed review, with the reviewer’s name and scope visible. Research based on official product documentation must be distinguished from actual product use or testing.
Before publication
A guide needs an original explanation, a clear answer, relevant checked sources, appropriate limitations, and useful links. Consumer agencies, food-safety agencies, and official product documentation serve different claims; each source should support the associated statement. Another website’s wording or worksheet design should not be copied.
The content system checks required fields, dates, duplicate titles, internal links, and source records. Automated checks support the publishing process and do not establish professional approval. Our methodology explains the scope of calculation and file checks.
Corrections and maintenance
Material errors require a dated explanation of what changed and a substantive update date. Minor typography fixes do not need a new article date. Our corrections policy explains the public notices introduced September 11, 2026 and how to report a concern.
Publication validation flags source reviews older than 90 days when the check runs. Source changes or reader reports may also prompt review. Send an editorial inquiry to hello@pocketandplan.com or follow the contact guidance.
