Editorial policy
The standards behind everything WiserHours publishes.
Research and sources
We prefer primary sources: peer-reviewed studies, official statistics and original reports. Articles list their sources so readers can check them. When evidence is limited, mixed or disputed, we say so rather than overstate it.
Accuracy and corrections
Articles are reviewed before publication and revisited over time; the date of the latest substantial update appears at the top of each piece. If we get something wrong, we correct it and note significant corrections in the article.
Money and health topics
Articles on personal finance and wellbeing are educational. We do not give individual advice, we avoid promises about outcomes, and we encourage readers to consult qualified professionals about their own situation.
Use of AI
We use AI tools to help research and draft articles. Every article is then edited, checked claim by claim against its sources, and reviewed for safety on money and health topics, and a person decides what is published.
Articles carry the byline of their section. Our editorial board page introduces each one.
Independence
If a page contains affiliate links or sponsored content, it is clearly labelled. Commercial relationships do not determine our conclusions.
WiserHours is a member of the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate WiserHours earns from qualifying purchases. Some articles end with a short "Further reading" list, or mention a book, with a link to Amazon. A book is listed only when the article would recommend it with no commission attached: usually a book the article draws on. We link books, not supplements, medicines or financial products, and the sources an article cites never carry affiliate links. Amazon's statement appears next to the links, and we never state a price, because prices change.
