Staff Gauge is operated as an independent editorial desk covering published research on secondary earnings, platform-mediated work, and how statistical instruments record those flows. The desk is responsible for the selection of topics, the wording of notes, and the correction of factual errors.
Selection
Topics are chosen when a public instrument, peer-reviewed paper, or official guidance document offers a clear measurement question. Preference goes to sources that name sample design, definitions, and known coverage gaps. Notes are not commissioned to promote a product, service, or income outcome.
Citation
Claims that reference empirical work name the author, agency, or instrument in the same paragraph. When evidence is contested or limited to a specific population, that limit appears beside the claim. Staff Gauge does not invent statistics.
Reader posture
Copy is written in the third person about studies and instruments. The desk does not assert knowledge of any visitor’s employment, household, or financial situation. Testimonials and outcome stories are not published.
Advertising
If advertising appears on the site, it is labeled and kept separate from editorial notes. Advertising does not rewrite the substance of a note.
Corrections
Factual errors reported to [email protected] are reviewed. Substantive corrections are reflected in the affected page when verified against the original source.
Jurisdiction for operations is Brazil. There is no public walk-in address; correspondence is email-only.
