Editorial & Testing Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

At AnalystAI, our mission is to provide the most reliable, transparent, and accessible financial and business tools on the web. To achieve this, our editorial and engineering workflows adhere to strict verification standards.

1. Mathematical Verification Standards

Before any calculator is published to AnalystAI, its underlying computational model must pass a rigorous multi-tier verification process:

Textbook Cross-Referencing: Formulas are sourced from established accounting and financial literature (e.g., standard corporate finance, amortization mathematics, and statistical theory).
Automated Unit Testing: Every calculator is implemented as a pure function and subjected to automated unit test suites (tests/calculators.spec.mjs) testing standard inputs, high-order bounds, and critical edge cases (such as zero churn or negative cash flows).
Excel Parity: Results are validated against Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets native functions (XLOOKUP, NPV, PMT, SUMIF) to ensure complete numerical consistency.

2. Editorial Independence & Zero Bias

No Sponsored Calculation Biases: We never artificially alter loan comparisons, investment yields, or software metrics to benefit third-party sponsors or advertisers.
Balanced Benchmarks: When discussing financial metrics (such as SaaS churn rates or LTV to CAC ratios), we explicitly provide industry context, size caveats, and trade-offs rather than prescribing arbitrary rules of thumb.

3. Corrections and Peer Review

Financial mathematics and tax regulations evolve. If a user, accountant, or academic identifies an error or proposes an improved edge-case handler, we review the submission within 48 hours and update our open test suites accordingly.
