Editorial Policy

Editorial policy

data.day is written for people who carry delivery risk.

If we’ve ever been the person who has to make the numbers match, ship the report, convince Legal, unblock Procurement, or keep a workflow from collapsing in week three — we’re probably the audience.

Who we write for

We mainly write for two groups:

1. Operators
   People who need to select and deploy B2B tools that solve “small data organiser” problems: intake, approvals, portals, deal rooms, reporting hygiene — and sometimes more complex workflows — without hiring a full engineering team.

2. Curious practitioners
   Analysts, consultants, lawyers, product people, and others who want to understand how real data work functions, what breaks, and what “good” looks like.

If readers recognize themselves here, good. That’s the point.

What we publish

We publish concrete material we can actually use:

• checklists, templates, patterns
• tool notes and reviews (including what failed)
• definitions and measurement discipline
• operational reliability: “what breaks and why”
• decision support: tradeoffs, constraints, and edge cases

We aim for pages that are bookmarkable, reusable, and hard to misunderstand.

Standards we hold ourselves to

Accuracy

• We verify details that matter: terms, constraints, pricing tiers, limits, and “what the product actually does.”
• If we include code or configs, we try to keep them runnable and minimal.
• When we estimate or infer, we label it.

Clarity over cleverness

• We prefer explicit definitions and sharp examples.
• We separate facts from opinions.
• We avoid jargon where a plain sentence is stronger.

Corrections and updates

We fix errors visibly.

• If we change an article materially, we note what changed and when.
• If a tool improves and our criticism no longer applies, we update the review. We don’t rewrite history; we append.

Reviews and brands

We sometimes write about brands because we use them. Sometimes we like them. Sometimes we don’t.

We try to be fair, specific, and practical:

• what it does well
• what it does poorly
• what it costs (when we can verify)
• who it is for, and who should avoid it

The objective

The primary objective is to build durable domain authority through consistently useful, concrete, and trustworthy content — so the site earns its own gravity over time.

That’s the project.

Welcome.
