Editorial standards

Curious Purpose Guide aims to make everyday ideas about time, attention, and priorities clear enough to consider and use. Our wording should distinguish a suggestion from a fact, and a general idea from advice tailored to an individual.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable source material before publication and aim to explain terms in plain English. Where a topic is interpretive, we make that clear. We do not invent evidence, personal experiences, or results, and we avoid presenting a planning technique as a guaranteed solution.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for reader relevance, not to imply endorsement of a product or service. Any paid, sponsored, or partner material is clearly labelled where it appears. Partner placements are separate from editorial articles, and a collaboration does not promise favourable coverage.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, contact us with the page or article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted. Significant corrections are identified in the relevant piece so readers can see what changed.

Illustrations

Some illustrations on the site may be generated using artificial intelligence. Illustrations are not evidence for an article's claims, and we aim to keep them distinct from documentary images.
