Editorial policy

Useful evidence without invented certainty.

RoomFact publishes dimensional guidance, calculation methods, and clearly stated limitations. It does not invent testing, authors, sources, or freshness.

Evidence and assumptions

A factual assumption must cite an approved source, be labeled as a general planning assumption, or remain in the source-verification queue. Each calculator exposes its formula version, assumptions, and limitations through the methodology pages.

Hands-on testing is never implied unless the method, date, and responsible tester are documented. Material updates change a reviewed date; formatting changes do not create artificial freshness.

Authorship and review

RoomFact guides are produced with AI-assisted research and writing. Allen Gomes is identified as the publisher, not as a hands-on tester or an independent expert reviewer. Product-specification studies identify the exact source articles, the date checked, and the calculations added by RoomFact.

RoomFact does not attach a fabricated biography, reviewer, credential, rating, or experience claim to an article. Sources are linked where a technical convention or outside claim informs the guidance, while worked examples are labeled as planning scenarios rather than customer case studies.

Higher-risk claims involving safety, law, building codes, finance, or professional practice require an appropriate qualified source or are excluded.

Corrections

Readers can report a factual, formula, source, or accessibility problem through the contact page. Safety-significant errors, broken calculations, privacy exposure, and misleading commercial claims receive priority.

A material correction identifies the affected method or formula version and is tested before publication. Low-risk typographic and metadata fixes may be released without changing the reviewed date.

Calculator review

A calculator release checks unit conversion, default examples, minimum and maximum inputs, result boundaries, mobile controls, keyboard operation, print or download output, and the wording of caution and failure states. A result must explain what changed and what to measure next instead of presenting an unexplained score.

Formula changes require a version update and focused tests. Pages distinguish source-backed facts from RoomFact planning assumptions, and a source reference is not presented as support for a threshold the source does not establish.

Search and page quality

A working utility is not automatically eligible for search indexing. Searchable tool pages must address a distinct user decision, include original interpretation and a worked example, and pass a rendered-content audit. Thin category, administrative, embed, and supporting utility pages remain accessible but are excluded from the sitemap.

RoomFact does not add filler to reach a word count, create pages for keywords outside its primary purpose, or publish automated summaries without review. Build checks enforce minimum depth, unique metadata, canonical URLs, valid structured data, and a single clear page heading for the deliberately small indexed collection.

Drafting and automation

AI is used substantially in drafting guides, researching public sources, building calculators, and running software checks. Automated checks can find arithmetic and layout problems, but they do not establish real-world delivery performance, comfort, or professional approval.

Source-based analysis, hypothetical room examples, and any future hands-on observations must be clearly distinguished. A publisher attribution or a passed software test does not imply personal review of every statement. Readers can use the linked sources and calculations to check a conclusion and report errors through the contact page.

Commercial separation

Advertising remains labeled and separate from inputs, submit controls, and result conclusions. Advertisers cannot buy a calculator outcome, an editorial ranking, or removal of a material limitation.
