Editorial policy
How we decide what to publish, and how you can hold us to it.
Sourcing
Factual claims about research link to the original study, a publisher's page or a recognised summary. Where we could not verify a detail, we leave it out. We summarise studies in our own words and quote sparingly.
Balance
The glass cliff is debated. When studies disagree, we say so, and we include null findings in the Research Library.
Named individuals
We discuss patterns across many appointments. We do not describe any named living person as a "glass cliff case", because that judgement requires facts about their appointment that are rarely public.
Tools
Our tools turn research findings and widely used governance practice into structured questions. Their scores are a starting point for a conversation, not a prediction.
Sponsored content and advertising
Ads are served by Google AdSense and are clearly separate from our content. Sponsored placements are labelled "Sponsored" or "Supported by". Sponsors do not review editorial content before publication.
Corrections
Report an error through the contact form and choose "Correction". We review every report and note significant corrections on the page.
Use of software tools
We may use software, including AI tools, to help research and draft. Every page is reviewed against its sources before publication, and editors are responsible for what we publish.
