How we work

Editorial Policy

How Lavrions researches, writes, and reviews its content — and how we stay independent.

Last updated: January 12, 2026

Trust is the only thing that makes a money publication worth reading. This page explains how we research, write, review, and maintain everything on Lavrions — and how we keep our recommendations independent.

How we choose what to cover

We write about questions real readers have: how much to keep in an emergency fund, whether to pay off debt or invest first, how to start with index funds, how to ask for a raise. Ideas come from our own experience, reader questions, and the money problems we see people struggle with most. We do not chase market hype for traffic's sake.

How we research and write

Every article is written or edited by a named member of our team with direct experience of the topic. When we describe an account, fund, or method, we have used it, modelled it, or researched it against primary sources — official documentation, regulator guidance, and original data — rather than recycling what other sites say. Claims that depend on numbers are linked to their source.

Editing and review

Before publication, each piece is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and usefulness. We ask a simple question of every draft: would this genuinely help a reader make a better money decision, or is it just filling space? If it is the latter, it does not run.

Our use of AI tools

Our articles are written and edited by people. We may use software for spell-checking, research, or suggesting outlines, but a human writer is responsible for the substance, accuracy, and final wording of everything we publish. We do not publish auto-generated content.

Independence and advertising

Lavrions is funded by advertising and, occasionally, affiliate links. To protect your trust:

  • We never accept payment to give a positive review or to feature a bank, broker, or product in editorial content.
  • Advertising is clearly distinguishable from articles.
  • Affiliate relationships never change our verdict — see our disclaimer for the full disclosure.

Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes, and when we do, we fix them quickly and transparently. If you spot an error, email hello@lavrions.com or use our contact form. Substantive corrections are noted on the article.

Updates

Because rates, rules, and best practices change, we revisit popular guides and refresh them. When an article is meaningfully updated, the publication date reflects the most recent revision.

Questions

If anything about how we work is unclear, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Reach us any time at hello@lavrions.com.
