Editorial standards
Editorial policy
NoticeAhead publishes plain-language guides about contract notice periods, renewal dates and the arithmetic behind them. This page explains who writes them, how they are checked, and what we do when a reader reports a mistake.

Who we are
NoticeAhead is a contract-deadline tracking product, built and maintained by a small in-house editorial and engineering team. The guides are written by the same team that works on the product. We do not sell coverage, we do not publish sponsored guides, and a commercial relationship never decides whether a topic is covered or how a conclusion is phrased.
What we publish
Our guides explain mechanics: how a notice period is counted, how a notice deadline differs from an expiry date, and how month-end, leap-year and business-day rules change the result. They describe common commercial practice as practice, not as a statement of law. A guide is general information. It does not replace the signed contract, and it is not legal advice.
How we research and check a guide
Each guide starts with the contract clause it describes: the unit used for the notice period, the counting rule, the permitted form of notice, whether receipt is required, and whether the obligation applies to one party or both. We test the arithmetic against worked examples, including month-end and leap-year cases, and we keep the method visible so a reader can repeat it. Where a public source exists, we prefer primary material, such as the wording of the clause or published guidance from the body that issues it. Where no public source exists, we say that the point is a matter of contract interpretation rather than a fixed rule.
Review and the last-checked date
Every guide carries a last-checked date. The date changes only when a person has re-read the page and confirmed that the examples, links and arithmetic still hold. It is not a publication date and it is not a legal review: it records an editorial check by the NoticeAhead editorial team. Guides are re-read when the contract rules they describe change in a way that affects the examples, or when a reader shows us that something is wrong.
Corrections
If a sentence, example or date looks wrong, tell us. Contact the operator of this deployment using the details on the privacy page and include the guide URL and the exact sentence you believe is incorrect. We review reported corrections, check them against the clause or the arithmetic, and update the page when a change is warranted. When we make a substantive correction, we also update the last-checked date so readers can see that the page changed.
Authorship and machine-readable metadata
Guides are published under the NoticeAhead editorial team rather than an individual byline. Each article identifies NoticeAhead as the author and a named member of the editorial team as the reviewer in its structured data, together with the date it was last modified. That metadata mirrors what is visible on the page: an organisation takes responsibility for the content, and a dated editorial review stands behind it.
