How we research, write and review
AbodeWave covers decisions where being wrong costs real money or real wellbeing. This page sets out who produces the work, what every article is checked against, and the limits of what we do.
Who is behind the work
Hamza Hai, MBA
Editor, AbodeWave
Hamza Hai is the editor of AbodeWave. She holds an MBA and reviews the site's articles against our editorial standards, checking that every figure is labelled for what it is, that nothing is presented as verified fact without a source the reader can check, and that the writing stays useful to a non-specialist.

What every article is checked against
- Nothing is invented. We do not publish statistics, study results, citations, quotes, prices, or credentials that we cannot stand behind. Where a specific number would be a guess, we write the principle instead and say why.
- Every figure is labelled. Illustrative examples are called illustrative. A worked example, its charts, its calculator and its FAQs are checked against each other so the same scenario produces the same numbers everywhere.
- Time-sensitive facts point to the source. Rates, limits, deadlines, programme rules and code requirements change, and they vary by provider and by place. We explain the mechanism and send you to the official source for the current figure.
- Links are verified. Internal links are checked to resolve. We do not link out for the sake of it, and a link is never a substitute for explaining something.
- Images are described from the image. Alt text and captions describe what is actually in the picture. Where a stock image does not match the subject, we say so in the caption rather than let it imply something untrue.
- Corrections are made in place. When something is wrong we fix the article itself and move the updated date, rather than quietly leaving it or burying a note.
The limits of what we do
Our editor is not a licensed real estate agent, attorney, or tax professional, and nothing on AbodeWave is personalised advice. Editorial review checks the arithmetic and makes sure that anything set locally, from title practice to tax treatment, is flagged as varying rather than stated as universal.
Found something wrong?
Corrections are welcome and we would rather hear it from you than not. Email [email protected] with the page and what is inaccurate, and we will check it against the source and correct the article if it is wrong.
