Every claim ranks itself: strong, promising, anecdotal. We label it. We don't hide it.
If we can't explain why something works, we don't recommend it. Even when it's trending.
One essay a fortnight, written until it's right. No publishing calendar pressure.
Templates and prompts are yours to copy, fork, modify. We benefit when you build, not when you stay.
No countdown timers, no 'last chance' subject lines. The Sunday letter arrives Sunday.
When something we recommended doesn't hold up, we publish the retraction at the top of the original.
