Editorial & Calculation Policy

Editorial & Calculation Standards

At Applied Calculator Labs, accuracy and transparency are core principles.

All content and calculators published on AppliedCalc adhere to the following standards:

1. Source-Based Calculations

Whenever possible, calculators are based on:

  • • Peer-reviewed academic research
  • • Government or institutional publications
  • • Established industry standards
  • • Publicly available technical documentation

Sources are cited directly within the accompanying articles.

2. Clear Assumptions & Limitations

No calculator can cover every scenario. We explicitly state input assumptions, applicable ranges, and known limitations to ensure users understand when a calculator should — and should not — be used.

3. No Automated Bulk Publishing

We do not mass-publish calculators without review. Each tool is individually reviewed, contextually explained, and manually validated. Automation may assist development, but human review remains mandatory.

4. Continuous Improvement

If better methodologies or updated research become available, calculators are revised accordingly. We encourage user feedback to help improve accuracy and usability.
