Editorial Standards
How CalcCaddy develops, reviews, sources, dates, and corrects its calculators and explanatory content.
Purpose and audience
CalcCaddy publishes planning tools for people making practical project decisions. The goal is to make each result understandable enough to check—not to replace product documentation, bids, codes, or professional design.
Formula and calculation review
Before publication, each calculator is checked for unit consistency, rounding behavior, expected boundary cases, and agreement between its formula and worked example. Inputs that vary by product or project remain editable instead of being presented as universal facts.
Source hierarchy
CalcCaddy prefers primary and authoritative references: government publications, standards bodies, adopted-code resources, and manufacturer product data. Supplier guidance and established industry handbooks may be used for practical assumptions. Calculators identify assumptions directly when no single universal value exists.
Review dates
A “Reviewed” date means the calculator’s formula, labels, worked example, and stated assumptions were checked on that date. It does not mean local prices, codes, or product specifications are live or continuously updated.
Corrections
Confirmed formula, unit, source, or copy errors are corrected in the shared calculator framework and the affected page is reviewed again. To report an issue, email contact@calccaddy.com with the calculator URL, the inputs used, the result received, and what you expected instead.
Commercial independence
CalcCaddy currently has no active advertising or affiliate placements. If commercial relationships are added, they will be disclosed and will not be allowed to change formulas or suppress material limitations.
