Editorial accountability
Mortgage rules, lender practices, rates, thresholds and calculator assumptions can change. Trust requires more than adding a fresh date: it requires investigating errors, documenting material revisions and showing when a page was genuinely reviewed.
Email psingh@hopewellgroup.ca with the page URL, the exact passage or result in question, why you believe it is inaccurate or outdated, and any source that would help us verify the issue.

Investigation workflow
We record the page URL, the questioned statement or calculation, the reporter’s explanation, any supporting source and the date received.
The author or reviewer checks the original source, effective date, jurisdiction, surrounding context, calculation assumptions and whether the content was accurate when published but later became outdated.
A mortgage-regulatory or underwriting issue is escalated to the Principal Broker. Legal, tax, accounting, appraisal or other specialized questions may require an external qualified professional rather than an internal guess.
We correct confirmed errors, clarify ambiguous wording, update materially changed rules or assumptions, or retain the content with an explanation if the evidence does not support a change.
A material correction or substantive update changes the last-reviewed date and may receive a revision note. Routine copy edits do not make an old article appear newly researched.
Spelling, punctuation, formatting, accessibility labels, broken links, image optimization or wording that does not change the meaning. These changes normally do not alter the substantive review date.
A change to a rule, threshold, calculation method, material assumption, legal or regulatory explanation, lender-category analysis, risk warning, conclusion or important factual statement. These changes normally update the review date and may receive a revision note.
A confirmed error that could materially affect a reader's understanding or decision. The correction is made promptly, and the page records the correction where useful to readers.
Deployment timestamps, automated builds, component refactors or a sitewide footer change do not automatically refresh article dates. Structured-data dateModified values should match genuine human-edited changes to the page, not every software deployment.
Regulatory content is checked against official government, regulator or program sources where available. Lender policies are identified as lender-specific and are not generalized into law. Calculator changes require review of the formula, rounding, compounding convention, qualification assumptions, default values, explanatory copy and tests.
A calculator is an educational model, not an approval engine. Where a current rule is uncertain, rapidly changing or lender-specific, the content should state the uncertainty rather than use false precision.
