Corrections Policy

LifeByLogic is built on peer-reviewed research. The credibility of every tool depends on the accuracy of its methodology, citations, and results. When something is wrong, we want to know — and we want to fix it transparently.

Mistakes happen in any publication. The question is what gets done about them. Our standard: errors are acknowledged, corrected, and (where material) logged.

We treat the following as correctable errors:

• Factual errors — misstated facts, dates, statistics, or biographical details.
• Calculation errors — incorrect formulas, scoring procedures, or computational logic in any interactive tool.
• Citation errors — misattribution of research findings, broken DOIs, incorrect journal names, or misquoted sources.
• Methodology errors — misapplication of a research instrument, mischaracterization of cohort data, or inappropriate generalization beyond the underlying study population.
• Outdated information — superseded research, withdrawn papers, or normative data that no longer reflects the most current evidence.

Editorial choices, framing decisions, and methodology limitations that are already disclosed are not errors. We are happy to discuss them, but they are not subject to correction.

Please write to hello@lifebylogic.com with:

• The page or tool where the error appears (URL is helpful).
• What you believe is incorrect.
• The corrected information, if you have it, and the source supporting it.

We acknowledge every report we receive. You do not need to be a researcher or an expert; if something looks wrong, we want to hear about it.

Reports are triaged by the editor. We aim to:

• Acknowledge the report within 7 days.
• Investigate the claim against original sources and consult the analysis modeling reviewer where the issue concerns the analytical logic of a tool.
• Decide whether the issue is a correctable error, a clarification, an editorial difference, or a non-issue.
• Respond with our determination and the action being taken.

Corrections are made directly on the affected page. We do not silently change content; we follow these standards:

• Minor typos may be corrected silently.
• Factual or citation corrections are made on the page and noted in a "Corrections" disclosure at the bottom of the page or in the page's methodology section, with the date of correction.
• Calculation or methodology corrections trigger a tool version increment, are logged in the tool's methodology section with before/after detail, and trigger an updated dateModified in the page's structured data.
• Material methodological corrections are also surfaced in our editor's notes when relevant, so that returning readers can re-take a tool with awareness of what changed.

We will not silently delete content to make an error disappear. We will not retroactively rewrite history without disclosure. We will not pressure a corrector to retract a legitimate report.

If we determine a reported issue is not an error, we will explain our reasoning. Reasonable people can disagree on framing or interpretation; we welcome that dialogue and will document it where useful.
