Who writes
Behind every article there is a name, not a brand.
Whoever writes here signs with their own name and can be contacted. We are a small team, and anyone who joins it — from the inside or invited from outside — appears on this page like the others.
We write about money. We say who we are.
When a text is about your money, you should be able to know who wrote it and why that person knows the subject. That is why no article on this blog is signed by the brand: each one has an author with a name, a public track record and an entry on this page.
No article goes out without passing through someone else. The reviewer checks the figures one by one, goes and confirms that every factual claim has an identified source in the "References" section, and cuts anything that is not clear on first reading. The full detail is in the editorial policy.
The team will grow and there will be articles written by guests. Anyone who writes for us gets an entry on this page with name and background, and the text goes through the same review. There are no one-off bylines.

Where each person comes from, what they write about, and how to read more.
