Editorial Policy

How pages are built: each public page starts from a concrete reader question, source notes, a judgment focus, a wrong shortcut to avoid, useful next pages, and one action the reader can complete without sharing personal data.

Who maintains the site: CareerWell is maintained by the site operator as a public educational product. The site does not claim physician, therapist, lawyer, HR, benefits, or employment-rights review unless that qualified review is added and named in the future.

How pages are reviewed: pages are checked for a clear answer, a practical next action, visible source context, role-specific or work-scene details, non-diagnostic boundaries, working links, readable mobile structure, and wording that sounds like a useful guide rather than a generic template.

How to use CareerWell safely: the preferred loop is test, score band, one work scene, one action, and a 7/14/30 day review. When not to keep reading: if the reader is unsafe, severely distressed, unable to function, or dealing with medical, mental health, legal, financial, HR, benefits, employment-rights, retaliation, harassment, or emergency questions, the site should point them to qualified support rather than another article.

How updates work: public pages should be revisited when source links change, a page appears to answer the wrong reader need, a correction request identifies a real error, or a page crosses into health, legal, financial, safety, HR, benefits, or employment-rights territory that needs stronger boundaries.

Review cadence: the site does not promise a fixed medical-style review cycle. Core pages are revisited around source drift, broken links, reader-intent drift, and correction requests that would change what a reader should do next.

What CareerWell does not do: the site does not diagnose medical or psychological conditions, does not store assessment answers, does not collect email for reports, and does not present on-page results as professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, HR, benefits, employment-rights, or emergency advice.

How sources are used: workplace-stress sources, burnout boundary sources, recovery and self-reflection references, workplace-action sources, and editorial quality references inform source limits, action wording, and safe next steps. CareerWell does not copy third-party tests, claim professional review, or present public references as personal advice.

How topic families are sourced: assessment pages, score-band pages, symptom pages, cause pages, recovery pages, workplace-action pages, support-boundary pages, guided paths, career-choice guides, and result summaries each use source context appropriate to the user task.

Which pages are self-guided frameworks: articles, paths, and result summaries can organize work facts and suggest low-risk next steps, but they do not decide whether a user should quit, disclose health information, pursue legal action, take leave, rely on a workplace channel, or delay professional support.

Which pages need extra review before expansion: pages implying treatment, diagnosis, urgent risk triage, protected-leave rights, harassment or retaliation handling, workplace legal action, or sensitive user-data collection must be held until qualified review or a safer product boundary is available.

How results are handled: assessment results are calculated on the page. The user can copy a plan, but CareerWell does not save answers, build a profile, send an email report, or create a downloadable report in this version.

How search pages are maintained: each public page should answer one reader need, avoid overlapping a sibling page, and send broader or narrower questions to the better matching burnout test, score-band guide, symptom page, cause page, recovery page, workplace action, support-boundary page, guided path, or source-method page.
