Editorial policy
A converter site is only useful if its answers are right. This page says who is responsible for them, where they come from, and what happens when one is wrong.
Who is responsible
iToolHub is built and maintained by Suraj Giri. Every tool page, guide and hub carries his name and the date it last changed, directly under its title. The date is the date the page's content changed, not the date the site was last deployed.
Where the numbers come from
The numbers a reader relies on are not typed into pages by hand. They come from two sources.
- Code that computes the result. Every conversion is worked out when you use it, with exact whole-number arithmetic for long values rather than the rounded numbers a browser uses by default.
- A fact base. Fixed values, such as the ASCII table, unit factors, file signatures and worked examples, live in data files that the pages are generated from. If a page and the fact base disagree, the page is wrong.
Where a page's prose repeats one of those figures, the checks below compare the repeat with the fact base. Where a value comes from a published standard or another company, the page names the source. Payment fees are quoted from the provider's own pricing page with the date they were read.
The checks every page passes
A set of automated checks is run over every tool, hub and guide before each release, and a failure is fixed before the release goes out.
- Unit tests run each converter and calculator against known answers.
- Figures a page restates are checked against the fact base, and worked examples are recalculated.
- Titles and descriptions are checked against the approved list and for duplicates.
- Every planned internal link is checked to be present on its page.
- Structured data is checked for ratings, malformed dates and unverified Wikidata identifiers.
- Pages are checked for hype words that promise more than a tool does.
How the arithmetic works, and the standards each tool implements, are explained separately.
How AI is used
iToolHub is built with a lot of help from AI tools. They draft the pages from a written brief for each one, and they help write the code, the tests and the fact base. The checks above exist partly because of that: a result is computed by the site's code and tested against known answers, not taken on an AI tool's word. Suraj Giri decides what is published and is responsible for it.
Money, tax and legal topics
A few tools touch decisions with real consequences: the loan, fee, margin, discount, CPM and sales tax calculators. These pages do arithmetic on the figures you enter. They are not financial, tax or legal advice, and each one says so next to its result. They do not publish tax rates, and they quote third-party fees only with a source and a date. The disclaimer sets out the limits.
When pages change
- A reader reports an error and it is confirmed.
- A standard a tool implements is revised.
- A company changes a fee that a calculator quotes.
- A browser changes behaviour that a tool depends on.
A dated third-party figure older than three months may be out of date. Check it against the source linked beside it before you rely on it.
Corrections
If you find a result you can show is wrong, email suraj@theblogtimer.com with the page address, exactly what you entered, what the page showed, and what you expected. A confirmed error is fixed in the fact base or the code, and the fix is recorded with its date in the changelog. If you would like to be credited, say so.
Independence and money
- The site is free. It is meant to be paid for by advertising, and no adverts run yet. When they do, they will be chosen by the ad network, not by the site, and will never change a result.
- There are no paid placements, no sponsored pages and no affiliate links.
- There are no reviews, ratings or badges, because none exist.
