DataBroker team
The DataBroker team writes the DataBroker blog, and signs its posts as a team rather than under individual names.
Updated
How a post is checked
- Every figure links to where it came from, with the date it was checked. If a number can't be sourced, it isn't printed.
- Facts about other companies come from their own sites or from reputable reporting, and a post that compares options says where the other one is better.
- Posts about the law describe it in general terms and say when a lawyer is needed. They are not legal advice.
- Posts are drafted with help from AI tools. A person reads each one, checks it against its sources and approves it before it goes live.
What the date on a post means
A post's Updated date moves only after a real edit, such as a corrected figure. We don't change a date to make a post look new. When we find an error, or someone points one out, we fix the post and the date moves with it.
Corrections
If a post gets something wrong, email team@data.broker with the post's address and what needs fixing. We check it against the sources, correct the post if it is wrong, and its Updated date moves with the fix.
What we won't print
- No income promises. We don't publish what a broker typically earns, because we can't verify it.
- No self-written star ratings or reviews, on the page or in its markup.
- No filler. Each weekday has its own subject, and a day is skipped rather than filled with a weak post.
More about the company, the course and how the rest of the site is written is on the about page.
