Principles
Our editorial standards
State what the content is
Research-style pages identify whether they are directional benchmark syntheses, editorial frameworks, practical methods, or measured datasets. We do not describe editorial ranges as official statistics.
Separate evidence from advocacy
Salag advocates sustainable rates for Filipino professionals. That position is disclosed separately from the evidence basis so readers can distinguish a value judgment from a measured finding.
Use qualified uncertainty
If a public product page does not mention a capability, we say it was not found on the reviewed source. We do not treat missing marketing copy as proof that a competitor lacks a feature.
Keep dates visible
Articles show publication and modification dates. Comparisons include a specific review date because product features and prices can change quickly.
Method
Research process
- 01Define the exact question, audience, geography, currency, and time period.
- 02Prefer first-party product pages, official documentation, public agencies, and original research over summaries.
- 03Record the scope, evidence basis, exclusions, assumptions, and known limitations.
- 04Avoid a numerical sample-size claim unless the underlying records support it and the counting method is documented.
- 05Check that summaries, tables, FAQs, metadata, and structured data do not contradict the article body.
- 06Publish a modification date when a material claim, table, method, or recommendation changes.
Special content
Rate and salary content
Unless a page says otherwise, Salag rate ranges are directional editorial benchmarks—not probability samples, official wage statistics, or earnings guarantees. Every research-style article should disclose its evidence basis, scope, exclusions, limitations, and review cycle.
Product comparisons
Comparison pages use publicly available first-party sources and include a review date. Salag has an obvious commercial interest, so readers should verify linked official sources before purchasing either product.
Corrections desk
Report an error or material change
Send the page URL, disputed statement, and supporting source to hello@salag.app. We review factual corrections against the strongest available source. Material corrections update the page's modification date; minor spelling and formatting changes may not.
