Editorial standards and citations
What NewHands will and will not put in a guide or a market figure.
This is educational. These are the rules for pages on this site.
Cite the source, or do not say it
A fact about a loan program, a tax form, or a state filing points at the agency that published it: SBA, IRS, a state website, or a named nonprofit such as SCORE or an SBDC. The link is on the page. A paraphrase is not a citation.
Do not invent
No invented market statistics, no typical fee percent, no typical working-capital peg, no headcount for an organization we did not count, and no firm we did not verify. If a number comes from this index, the page says so and includes how many of the rows are samples.
Calculators show their work
Every adjustment is on the page. Assumptions are listed. Outputs are versioned. Test vectors are published at the calculator API so a person or an agent can check the arithmetic. An estimate is labeled an estimate. A score is a sum of published weights, not a credit decision.
Samples stay labeled
Fictional listings say Sample listing. A Turnkey Ready badge on a sample listing is part of the sample. The directory does not fill empty categories with made-up practices.
Educational, not advice
Guides are for orientation. They tell you to hire a lawyer, a CPA, or a lender when the question is yours. NewHands is not a broker-dealer and not those professionals.
Corrections
If a citation breaks or a sentence overclaims, the changelog notes the fix. The guide is updated in place. The old sentence is not left up beside the new one.
