Our editorial process

How a guide gets made

01

Research

We start from the literature. Every model, finding and figure is traced back to the peer-reviewed work it comes from, and anything we cannot source, we leave out.

02

Writing and illustration

A specialist writes it in plain language, with original artwork commissioned for each piece. No stock imagery, and no simplification that changes what the research says.

03

Review and update

A second specialist checks the psychology before publication. Guides are revisited as the evidence moves, and corrections are dated on the page.
