Editorial policy

People use 8171portal.blog to make real decisions about plans, equipment and downloads, so accuracy and honesty matter to us. This page explains the standards we hold ourselves to.

How we write

Every article and tool page is written to answer a specific question for a real reader. We put the answer first, explain the reasoning after it and give a worked example. We do not pad pages to make them longer, and we do not repeat keywords for the sake of search engines.

How we check accuracy

• Formulas are tested against hand-worked examples before a tool goes live.
• Typical figures, such as streaming bitrates, are reviewed when providers change them.
• Each tool page shows a “last reviewed” date.

Advertising and independence

The site may display ads, including ads served by Google AdSense. Ads are labelled as advertising and are placed away from the calculators so they cannot be mistaken for results. Advertisers do not pay for recommendations and cannot change what we write.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and update the review date. To report an error, email our contact page with the page address and the details.
