Writing about ADHD is a place where confident, unsourced claims do real harm. So we hold our explainers to a standard you can check. If we can't point to the work behind a claim, we don't make the claim.
Every claim traces to a source
We build on published research, not on hunches or received wisdom. Where an explainer rests on a finding, we link the primary work so you can read it yourself rather than take our word for it. The clearest example is the science behind Beginary, where every mechanic in the product is tied back to the study it came from.
We name our sources
You will not find a vague "studies show" here. When we lean on research, we name the researchers and link the paper: affect labeling from Lieberman and colleagues (2007), initiation as its own executive function from Russell Barkley, reward and motivation from Nora Volkow. Named sources are checkable sources. That is the whole point.
Reviewed and dated
Each explainer carries the date it was last reviewed, so you can see how current it is. Understanding of ADHD changes, and when it does we revisit what we have published rather than leave it to drift. A date on the page is a small promise that someone looked again.
Plain language, no shame
We write for a tired adult at 2pm, not for a journal. That means short sentences, plain words, and no jargon wall. It also means no shame. We do not call the ADHD freeze "procrastination," because that word is both inaccurate and corrosive. The tone on the page is the same calm, non-judging tone as the app.
Our explainers are educational content grounded in research. They are not medical advice, and not a substitute for professional care. For anything clinical, talk to a qualified professional. Support resources: CHADD and ADDA.
