What “expert-reviewed” means at Puffling
We only describe a page as expert-reviewed when that page names the reviewer, identifies relevant qualifications, and displays the review date.
Puffling’s founding team includes doctoral-level early-education expertise, but that fact alone does not make every page expert-reviewed. A page without a named reviewer and review date should not be read as carrying that designation.
Authorship and accountability
Product and service pages may be authored by Puffling as a company. Substantive guidance is assigned to an identifiable author or editorial owner who is accountable for the finished page.
We may use software, including AI tools, to help organize research or draft working material. A person remains responsible for checking the sources, claims, safety language, and final publication.
Qualified review
Reviewers are chosen for expertise that fits the subject. Early-learning guidance, product safety, health questions, and accessibility are different domains and may require different reviewers.
Review is not a ceremonial name on a page. The reviewer can question the framing, request stronger evidence, narrow a claim, add a caution, or stop publication.
Sources and evidence
We prefer primary and authoritative sources: peer-reviewed research, government and public-health guidance, recognized standards bodies, and original product or manufacturer documentation.
Sources should support the specific claim beside them. We distinguish research findings from our own practical suggestions, avoid overstating certainty, and update or remove claims when the evidence changes.
Safety boundaries
Puffling offers play ideas, not medical advice, diagnosis, therapy, or developmental screening. Parents and caregivers know the child, setting, and materials in front of them and must use their own judgment and active supervision.
Age ranges are starting points, not guarantees of readiness. We flag common hazards where relevant and direct families to a qualified professional or emergency service when a question falls outside our scope.
Dates and updates
A publication date marks when a page first appeared. An updated date means the substance changed. A review date records a qualified review; it is not interchangeable with routine copyediting.
We are applying clearer authorship and dating across our library. Older pages may not yet show complete attribution, so only the labels and dates visible on a page should be relied on.
Corrections
If we find a factual error, misleading implication, broken source, or safety concern, we investigate and correct it. Material corrections receive an updated date and, when context would otherwise be lost, a short correction note.
To report a concern, email hello@puffling.ai with the page link and a brief description. We welcome specific evidence and firsthand safety feedback.
