Medical review by
A licensed clinician is identified on the page and reviews terminology, threshold framing, and limitation language for health calculators.
1. Editorial goal
AgentCalc publishes calculators to make numerical reasoning easier to inspect. The goal is not to replace professional judgment. The goal is to present the math clearly enough that a reader can understand inputs, reproduce the result, and recognize the limits of the output.
2. Source standards
When a page depends on current thresholds, statutes, tax rules, benefits rules, or clinical guidance, our preferred source order is:
- Official or primary sources such as government agencies, statutes, regulations, guideline publishers, or original research.
- Institutional or professional society references when the primary source is not practical for general readers.
- Established secondary explainers only when they add useful context and are clearly not being treated as the rule itself.
Sensitive pages should cite sources or references where practical. Older pages may still be catching up to that standard.
3. Reviewer identity and labels
Editorial review by
The named editor reviews formulas, assumptions, source clarity, scope, and plain-language explanations. This does not imply licensed professional advice unless explicitly stated.
Edited by
The named editor focuses on readability, instructional structure, examples, units, and user comprehension.
4. Sensitive topics and YMYL handling
Health, legal, finance, tax, insurance, benefits, and risk-heavy tools receive stricter framing. Those pages should make clear:
- Who reviewed the page and what that reviewer actually covers.
- Whether the output is a simplified estimate, a published formula, or a plain-language planning tool.
- Which important facts the calculator cannot know.
- What kind of professional help may still be required.
5. Formula transparency and methodology
We prefer pages that disclose formulas, unit conversions, assumptions, and worked examples. If a calculator is not suitable for exact real-world decisions because it simplifies the problem, that limitation should be stated on the page.
6. Corrections and updates
Readers can report factual issues, bad assumptions, broken references, or unclear wording through the contact page. The most actionable reports identify the page URL, the disputed line, and the source to review.
When a page depends on changing standards, we may revise thresholds, examples, or disclaimer language as those standards change.
7. Independence and limits
AgentCalc provides tools and explanations, not individualized professional services. A reviewer being named on a page means that person reviewed the page within the scope described in their bio. It does not create a doctor-patient, attorney-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship.
