Editorial standards
A figure without a source does not appear, not even as a range. Where a page has not been reviewed by a named clinician or attorney, it carries no byline claiming that it has. Pages that touch self-harm, suicide or eating carry crisis resources above the article, in the template, so they cannot be edited off a single page.
Who reviews what
- A clinician reviews anything about symptoms, diagnosis, treatment or what a parent should do
- An attorney reviews anything describing a claim, a deadline or a proceeding
- An editor reviews everything else, including navigation and link copy
- A page that has not been reviewed carries no reviewer byline, rather than a vague one
Sources
Every quantitative claim names its source and the year. Where a figure could not be sourced, the claim is cut rather than softened into a range.
That is why several pages here carry no numbers at all. It is a deliberate gap, not an oversight.
What is never published
- Settlement figures, verdict amounts, or averages of either
- Any prediction about the outcome of a case
- Superlatives about any law firm or any treatment provider
- Testimonials used as evidence that a claim or a treatment works
- Any image depicting a child in distress, or any generated clinical image
Corrections
Mistakes get corrected on the page, dated, with a note saying what changed. Pages are not quietly edited.
