Standards

ClearNumerology Editorial Guidelines

How every page on this site is written. The standards we hold ourselves to and the corrections process for when we fall short.

Our Commitment

ClearNumerology is built on one principle: honesty about a subject that often invites magical thinking. We write about numerology because we believe it has real value as a framework for self-understanding, but only when treated honestly. The moment numerology starts predicting futures, prescribing decisions, or claiming certainty it cannot back up, it stops being useful and starts being harmful.

How Each Page Is Written

Every page on this site is written or reviewed by Clara Voss. Pages about specific numbers, angel numbers and life path numbers, follow the same structure:

  1. A direct answer in the first sentences. We do not bury the point.
  2. A description of the human situation that brings someone to this number. We try to write to a real person in a real moment.
  3. Specific examples where useful, drawn from composite or anonymized client conversations, never from identifiable individuals.
  4. Acknowledgment of what we don't know. Where traditions disagree, we say so. Where claims are speculative, we mark them.
  5. An honest framing of what the number can and cannot do for the reader.

Our Approach to Uncertainty

We write "many people associate X with Y," not "X definitively means Y." We use phrases like "in my observation" and "the tradition holds" rather than declarative claims of cosmic truth. We are willing to write the words "I don't know."

This includes the foundational question of whether numerology works at all. We believe symbolic systems can be useful frames even when they have no empirical basis. We do not claim our framework is scientifically validated, because it isn't.

How We Handle Celebrity Calculations

On Life Path pages, we include two famous people for each number, with the calculation shown explicitly. We do this so readers can verify our math and notice where different calculation methods (segmented vs. all-at-once) might produce different results.

We do not claim a celebrity's behavior "proves" anything about their number. We use them as illustrative examples, recognizable patterns that may help readers calibrate the abstract description against a known person.

What We Refuse to Do

Review and Update Process

Every page carries a "reviewed" date. Significant updates trigger a new review date. We re-review the most-trafficked pages at least once per year.

If a reader writes in with a correction, factual, methodological, or stylistic, we respond, evaluate, and either update the page or explain why we're not changing it. Our turnaround target is two weeks.

Reader Corrections

If you find something on this site that's factually wrong, methodologically suspect, or stylistically out of line with these guidelines, please tell us. The fastest way is by replying to any ClearNumerology email, or via the contact information on the About page.

Funding and Independence

ClearNumerology has no advertisers and no paid product placements. We do not sell readings, courses, or coaching. The site sustains itself through reader support and unobtrusive sponsorship that does not influence editorial content.
