Purpose and audience

MakerGauge publishes tools and explanations for small maker businesses. Content should help a reader make a clearer decision, reproduce a calculation, or improve the quality of the inputs they track.

Sources and calculations

We prefer official marketplace policies, government data, manufacturer documentation, and original calculations. Time-sensitive figures are labeled with a date and reviewed when a page is materially updated. Calculator formulas are documented in our methodology and tested against worked examples.

AI and automation

Automation may assist research, drafting, formatting, and quality checks. It does not remove our responsibility for the published result. Pages are reviewed for usefulness, internal consistency, and unsupported claims before publication. We do not publish large batches of lightly changed pages to target search queries.

Advertising, affiliates, and sponsors

Advertising and affiliate revenue may support MakerGauge. Paid relationships do not change calculator formulas or guarantee favorable coverage. Affiliate relationships are disclosed near affected recommendations, and sponsored content is labeled clearly. Compensation does not buy a ranking or an undisclosed endorsement.

Corrections

We correct factual and calculation errors promptly. A material correction that could change a reader's decision will include a visible note describing what changed. Typographic and clarity edits may be made without a correction note.

Feedback

Send a correction request to hello@makergauge.com with the page URL, the issue, and supporting evidence.
