Editorial policy

Useful lighting content must say who made it, how it was made, and why the page exists. This policy applies to every calculator, field note, and commercial placement on Glow & Gauge.

01

Authorship and qualifications

Pages name Laurel as the creator or editor. Credentials are never implied or invented. When a topic requires a licensed or certified judgment, the page states that boundary and directs readers to an appropriately qualified professional.

Anonymous expert quotes, fabricated testing, and unsupported personal experience are not published. A cited organization is a source, not an endorser.

02

Sources and original value

Definitions and public facts favor primary government, standards, institutional, and manufacturer documentation. Sources are linked near the relevant article or tool methodology.

Each page must add original value through a working calculation, a visual explanation, a measurement workflow, a limitation analysis, or an edited synthesis. Glow & Gauge does not create indexed pages for every possible room dimension or parameter.

03

Automation and imagery

Software assists calculation, development, quality checks, and drafting. The operator remains responsible for selecting sources, reviewing claims, running tests, and publishing the final page.

Original atmospheric images use an AI image-generation workflow. They are labeled in editorial contexts and never presented as technical simulations, real installations, product photographs, or evidence of light performance.

04

Corrections

Correction reports are assessed against the formula, source, and reproducible inputs. Material corrections update the page review date and, when useful, include a brief note explaining the change.

Send the URL and evidence to lovlace77777@gmail.com. A disagreement based on preference may lead to clearer language even when the underlying formula remains unchanged.

05

Advertising and independence

Advertising is inactive at launch. Future ads will be labeled, kept away from calculator inputs and results, and prevented from determining tool outputs or editorial conclusions. Sponsored content will be disclosed at the top of the page.

The operator may decline advertising that conflicts with reader safety or the site’s measurement-first purpose. Read the disclosure for the current commercial state.
