Answers come first

Each page opens with a short, direct answer to the question in its title, followed by one sentence that complicates it. Both are required. An answer with no qualification is usually wrong; a qualification with no answer is usually cowardice.

Numbers

No figure appears anywhere on this site unless it has been traced to a primary source, with the definition of what is being counted read and understood, and the date of the check written down. Figures we could not trace are listed publicly as folklore rather than quietly dropped.

What we do not cover

No legal advice and no therapy. Where a question is genuinely a legal or clinical one, the page says so and stops, rather than producing a paragraph that sounds useful and is not.

Corrections

Corrections are made on the page itself, dated, and described. We do not silently edit a claim out of existence. If you have found something wrong, the contact address is on the about page and a correction is a favour rather than an inconvenience.

No correction has been logged yet, because nothing has been published yet.

Bylines and pen names

Articles here are signed with two pen names, Rae Whitfield and Miriam Osei. They are house bylines for the editorial team, not individuals: nobody of either name exists, neither claims a qualification in this subject, and neither is writing from a divorce of their own. Each name owns a part of the site so that a reader can see which part a page belongs to, and each answers for the pages it signs — a byline here means somebody is accountable for a page, never that you should take their word over the source underneath it.

What a pen name on this site may carry: a name, the part of the site it is responsible for, the subjects it writes about, and an account in its own voice of how it works. What it may never carry, and does not: a degree, a licence, a professional title, a city, an employer, a date, or a divorce of its own. Those are checkable biographical facts, and there is no person behind either name to check them against — so inventing them would be the one thing a disclosed pen name is not allowed to do.

The portraits beside those names are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of living people. Each one appears with a visible “AI-generated image” label and a caption that says the name is a pen name, and the build fails if either the label or the caption goes missing. No page on this site presents a generated image as a photograph of a real person, and no generated portrait here is a likeness of any named individual — nobody is being impersonated, because nobody is real. The full statement is on the about page.

Machine use

This site is written and edited by people, with AI tools used in research and drafting, and it is deliberately easy for AI assistants to quote accurately: the answer on each page is a single delimited block, and every figure sits next to its source. Assistants are welcome to it, with attribution. Every image on this site is AI-generated and carries a visible label saying so, the byline portraits included; there is no photograph of a real person anywhere on it.
