Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Mission

YesNoWheelApp exists to help people make decisions with less stress. Every piece of content we publish — from tool explanations to psychology guides — is written with one goal: to be genuinely useful to the person reading it.

We do not publish content to fill pages, inflate word counts, or manipulate search rankings. If a topic does not provide real value to our readers, we do not cover it.

Who Creates Our Content

YesNoWheelApp is an independently developed project with a single person behind it — no editorial team, no ghostwriters. The founder builds and maintains every interactive tool on the site directly (you can verify this by using them — there is no third-party widget or embed behind any tool), and personally researches, drafts, and reviews every article before it publishes. Psychology and decision-science content is grounded in the process described below — cited sources checked against the original research, not just repeated from other articles — rather than in a claimed personal credential.

AI writing tools are used to assist with drafting and research. All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and verified by the founder before publication. We never publish raw AI output without human oversight. See our AI Content Policy for full details.

Content Creation Process

Every piece of content goes through the following stages before publication:

1. Topic selection: Topics are chosen based on genuine user need — questions our audience asks, decisions they face, and educational gaps we can fill.
2. Research: The topic is researched using credible sources, psychology literature, and practical experience. We cite sources where applicable.
3. Drafting: A draft is written with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and practical value. AI tools may assist with structure and phrasing during this stage.
4. Editorial review: The draft is reviewed for accuracy, completeness, tone, and helpfulness. Generic or filler content is removed.
5. Fact-checking: Any factual claims, statistics, or research citations are verified against original sources before publication.
6. Publication: The final article is published with a clear publication date and author attribution.

Content Standards

All content published on YesNoWheelApp must meet the following standards:

• Accuracy: Factual claims must be verifiable. We do not publish speculation as fact.
• Originality: Content must offer genuine insight, not simply repeat what is available elsewhere. Every article should contain unique explanations, examples, or perspectives.
• Helpfulness: Content must provide tangible value to the reader. We ask: "Would a person be better off after reading this?" If not, the content is revised.
• Clarity: We write in plain, direct language. Jargon is explained. Complex ideas are illustrated with real-world examples.
• Relevance: Content stays on-topic. We do not publish off-topic material to inflate page count.
• Transparency: We disclose when AI tools assist in content creation. YesNoWheelApp is supported by Google AdSense advertising, disclosed in the Advertising Disclosure section below. We do not hide conflicts of interest.

Content Updates & Freshness

The field of decision-making psychology evolves, and so does our content. We review and update existing articles on a regular basis to ensure accuracy and relevance. Blog posts and policy pages display a "Last Updated" date so readers can assess freshness.

When we make substantive changes to an article — not just fixing typos but changing factual content — we update the modification date and note the nature of the change where appropriate.

Pruning: What We Remove and Why

Keeping the site useful sometimes means publishing less. In October 2026 we removed 27 blog articles and 7 tools that readers were not finding useful — mostly general decision-psychology essays that repeated what the tool pages already explain, and generic utilities (a dice roller, a card drawer, a bill splitter) that had nothing to do with the rest of the site. Each removed URL now redirects to the closest page that still covers the topic, so existing links keep working.

What stays has to be useful on its own: a tool that does something specific, a question list you can play from, or a framework you can apply. We would rather have a small site that does that than a large one that doesn't.

Corrections

We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. If you find an inaccuracy in any of our content, please contact us via our Contact page.

We aim to investigate reported errors within 24 hours and apply a confirmed correction within 48 hours (complex corrections that need re-research may take longer). For significant corrections, we add a correction note to the affected article explaining what was changed and why. See our full Corrections Policy.

Advertising Disclosure

Linking Policy
