This page explains how content on NutriZoe gets made, checked, and corrected. The site covers US money questions for Indians living in America, which means a lot of it touches tax and immigration status, so the sourcing rules matter more than they would on a lighter subject. It’s written plainly so you can hold me to it.
Who writes here, and what this editorial policy binds them to
One person. Aradhana Sharma, a financial consultant for small businesses and a freelancer of 9 years. There are no ghostwriters, no contributor network, and no unattributed posts. If a byline ever appears that isn’t mine, that person’s credentials will sit on this site too.
Where numbers come from
Any figure that carries legal or financial weight gets pulled from the body that sets it, not from another blog’s summary.
- Retirement contribution limits, catch-up amounts, and plan rules: IRS
- Self-employment tax rates and the Social Security wage base: Social Security Administration
- Plan administration and fiduciary rules: Department of Labor, EBSA
- Foreign account and asset reporting: FinCEN for FBAR, IRS.gov for everything else
- Software pricing and feature claims: the vendor’s own published pricing page, checked on the date of writing
The rule underneath all of it: if a number can’t be traced to a source I can link to, the sentence gets rewritten until the number is gone. A vague claim beats a confident wrong one.
Review dates and updates
Tax and retirement figures change every year. Any post that depends on them carries a visible review date, and that date reflects when a human last checked the numbers against the source, not when a plugin last touched the file.
When a limit moves, the affected posts get updated. The plan comparison guides and the calculator explainers are the ones that move most often, so they get checked first each year.
Corrections
Mistakes get fixed in the post itself, and the correction gets noted at the bottom with the date and what changed. Nothing gets quietly edited to look like it was always right.
If a factual error is serious enough that someone could have acted on it, the note goes at the top instead of the bottom. Report anything you spot through the contact page.
On artificial intelligence
I use AI tools in my own work, and I write about them, so it would be strange to pretend they play no part here. Here’s the actual line.
AI assists with structure, editing passes, and checking my own drafts for lazy phrasing. It doesn’t generate published claims, and it doesn’t supply facts. Every figure on this site was verified against a primary source by a person, because a language model will produce a plausible contribution limit that happens to be wrong, and plausible is the dangerous kind of wrong. Judgment, testing, and the actual opinions are mine.
Independence from advertisers
No advertiser or vendor sees a post before it publishes. Nobody gets to review a draft, request a change, or pay for a placement in a ranking. There are no affiliate partners to apply that rule to, because this site earns nothing from any link on it.
Sponsored content, if it ever appears, will be labelled as sponsored in the title and at the top of the post. There’s none on the site today. The commercial arrangements that do exist are laid out in the advertising and affiliate disclosure.
What this site doesn’t do
It doesn’t give personalised financial advice. It can’t, because personalised advice requires knowing your full situation and holding a licence I don’t have. Everything here is general education.
It also doesn’t answer immigration questions. Whether a particular visa permits a particular kind of work is a question for an immigration attorney, and no amount of finance experience qualifies me to answer it. Indian tax law sits outside the scope too. I cover the US side and say plainly where the India side begins.
It also doesn’t publish predictions dressed as analysis, engagement-bait headlines about market moves, or coverage of topics outside its four subject areas. The full legal position is in the disclaimer, and the process behind tool reviews specifically is in the review methodology.
Where this editorial policy binds hardest. Every figure carries the primary source it came from and the date it was read. That is how NutriZoe sources figures: from IRS.gov, FinCEN, the eCFR and the US Code directly, never from another site’s summary of them.
The corrections policy is the part worth testing. If a number here stops matching its source, tell us through the contact page and it gets fixed with the change noted. An unused corrections policy is a claim. A used one is evidence, and this editorial policy exists to be used rather than admired.
