How PlanSIP content is written and corrected

PlanSIP's goal is to explain finance concepts in the context of its actual tools, calculations and limitations—not to mass-produce pages around search keywords.

Authorship and accountability

PlanSIP publishes educational and analytical content under the PlanSIP brand. The site clearly documents its methodology, editorial standards, data sources, AI usage, corrections process and limitations. PlanSIP does not present software-development experience or any other background as an investment-advisory credential and does not provide personalized investment advice.

People-first rule

A page should answer a real user question and add practical value through examples, calculations, decision trade-offs, common mistakes or a transparent explanation of a PlanSIP feature.

Primary-source rule

For Indian mutual fund concepts, PlanSIP prioritizes SEBI, AMFI and official AMC/scheme documents when a claim can be checked there. Third-party sources are not used to override an official scheme disclosure.

No keyword-only pages

PlanSIP should not create multiple near-duplicate articles merely to target variations such as “SIP meaning,” “SIP definition” and “what is SIP.” Related intent should be consolidated into one useful guide where possible.

Original examples

Examples are written to expose the math or misconception: contributions versus returns, NAV versus units, drawdown versus CAGR, or guaranteed loan-interest savings versus uncertain market return.

AI-assisted drafting

AI may assist with wording or explanations. Material financial claims should be checked against reliable sources or the application's actual logic. AI output is not accepted as a source by itself.

Meaningful update dates

Dates should change when substantive content, methodology or references change—not simply to make a page appear fresh.

Corrections

Material factual/calculation errors should be corrected when identified. Reports can be submitted through Contact & Corrections and the public GitHub issue tracker.

Advertising independence

Advertising does not determine calculator outputs, fund scores, article conclusions or AI calculation inputs. Trust/legal pages are intentionally kept separate from ad monetization in this review-focused build.

Publisher identity

PlanSIP is an independent educational project maintained through the public vsj91/mf repository. PlanSIP is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, mutual fund distributor or asset management company.
