Editorial Policy

How we make sure every calculator and guide is accurate, original and genuinely useful.

Our standard

YardageLab publishes tools, not filler. Before a calculator or guide goes live it must solve a clear task better than what’s already easily found, and it must be verified by a person.

How a calculator is made

  1. Identify a real user task and confirm no existing page already solves it.
  2. Research the formula and assumptions from credible domain sources.
  3. Implement the math as a pure, typed function with automated golden tests.
  4. Human domain review of the formula and edge cases.
  5. Accessibility and mobile review.
  6. Publish, then monitor for real-world corrections.

How we use AI

We may use AI assistance for brainstorming, code scaffolding, drafting explanations and copyediting. We do not use it to mass-produce pages, invent authors or expertise, fabricate reviews, or paraphrase other sites. A human verifies every calculation and reviews every page before publishing.

Corrections

When a formula problem is reported or found, we treat it as high priority: reproduce it, add a failing test, fix the math, get domain review, and update the “last reviewed” date if the assumptions changed.

What we don’t do

  • No keyword doorway pages or near-duplicate tools.
  • No copied or lightly-reworded competitor content.
  • No fake experience, authorship, ratings or reviews.
  • No publishing untested calculations.
