Corrections
We want this academy to be the kind of place where errors get fixed quickly and obviously. If you find a mistake — a misquoted statistic, a citation that no longer supports the claim, a broken link, an outdated recommendation — please tell us.
How to report a correction
Email [email protected] with the subject line Correction: [page or lesson title].
Please include:
- The URL of the page or lesson.
- The exact sentence or claim you think is wrong.
- Why you think it's wrong — your own reasoning or a source you trust.
- Optionally, a suggested correction.
How corrections are reviewed
Every submission is read. Most fall into one of four categories:
- Clear factual errors — fixed immediately, with the lesson's “last updated” date refreshed.
- Citation or evidence weakening — claim is rephrased, re-labelled under our evidence policy, or removed.
- Genuine disagreement — we may stand by the framing, but we'll usually add nuance or acknowledge the dissent.
- Out of scope — design preferences, personal disagreements with conclusions, or requests for content we don't cover.
We aim to respond within two weeks. For sensitive content (health, mental health, finance) we err on the side of conservatism and may revise the lesson even when the evidence is mixed.
Commitment to accuracy
Accuracy here is more important than throughput. We would rather publish fewer lessons and revise them often than ship a large library that nobody trusts. If a claim is load-bearing for a behaviour change, it should be one we'd feel comfortable defending to a journalist, a clinician, or an angry reader. When it isn't, we change the claim.
What we cannot do
- We can't provide personalised health, financial, or therapeutic advice in response to a correction email. See the relevant medical, financial, and mental-health disclaimers.
- We can't guarantee a reply to every email, but every email is read.
- We don't publish reader names alongside corrections without explicit consent.
