Editorial and Methodology
How the site approaches formulas, updates, corrections, and commercial boundaries—so reviewers know what to expect.
Report errors or challenge any claim through Contact (contact@thestatickit.com)—same channel reviewers use to verify accountability.
Calculator methodology
Most calculators on thestatickit.com use deterministic browser-side formulas or explicit input transformations. The objective is to make assumptions legible and to keep the output reproducible from the values entered by the user.
For planning-oriented calculators, outputs are framed as models and estimates. Real-life pricing, tax treatment, clinical practice, lender policy, or legal outcomes can differ, so users should treat the pages as decision-support aids rather than final authority.
How content is updated
High-scrutiny areas (notably indexed finance and health tools) are reviewed on a schedule and when formulas, tax rules, or UI behavior change. Core pages carry a “last reviewed” label tied to that pass.
Site-wide inventory scripts help track which routes are search-visible and whether hand-authored blocks meet minimum structure (FAQ depth, methodology notes). Those checks support consistency; they do not replace human judgment on edge cases.
When a user reports a concrete mistake—wrong copy, a formula edge case, or a broken flow—the maintainer triages via the public inbox, reproduces where possible, and ships a fix or a visible correction note as appropriate.
How to report an error
Email contact@thestatickit.com (or use the mailto button on /contact) with the page URL, what you believe is wrong, and any reference that supports the correction. Screenshots and sample inputs speed up reproduction.
Security-sensitive findings should use the same address with a subject line that signals severity; do not attach raw personal data.
What we will not do
We do not sell placement, priority, or “featured” positions in the tool directory for money. The homepage and category grids are editorially ordered for usefulness and navigation—not auctioned to the highest bidder.
We do not accept pay-to-rank schemes, paid backlinks dressed as “tool reviews,” or undisclosed sponsored calculator copy. If a commercial relationship ever exists in the future, it would be labeled clearly and would not alter deterministic math inside tools.
Advertising (e.g. display ads) may appear on some pages under third-party ad network policies, but ads do not change tool ordering, formulas, or which tools are indexed for search. See About and Privacy for how ads relate to processing.
Games and educational tools
Game pages are built as browser-based entertainment or light-learning experiences. They are intended to be self-contained, low-friction, and replayable rather than dependent on accounts or paid progression loops.
Where a game includes facts, definitions, or topic packs, those elements are intended to add context and repeat value. Programmatic game pages are not treated as automatically index-worthy unless they include enough distinct value beyond the shell.
Quality and review
The current recovery work emphasizes fewer indexed pages, clearer identity and trust signals, and more substantial page-level explanations. Core pages are being upgraded with worked examples, FAQs, methodology notes, and related-tool context.
For finance and health topics in particular, the site uses visible educational disclaimers and last-reviewed labels so users can see that these pages are planning tools, not personal advice.
