About the Blog

The blog is where we publish opinion pieces, methodology deep-dives, and field notes that don't fit the long-form structure of the guide library. New posts appear roughly every two weeks, and older posts are updated as the underlying standards evolve. If you read only one article, start with the most recent, the front of the blog is always the freshest material and the place where James responds to questions that have come in via email or the public issue tracker.

Posts are tagged with one of three categories. Methodology posts explore a single technique in depth, for example, the trade-offs between weighted and unweighted averaging, or the difference between ISO 22514-2 and the older ISO 22514 process-capability framework. Industry posts cover regulatory changes, manufacturer announcements, and emerging automotive technologies. Tooling posts cover the calculator itself, new features, performance improvements, and the reasoning behind UX decisions.

How the Blog Is Different from the Guides

The guides are reference material: long, structured, and designed to be read on demand when you have a specific question. The blog is conversation: shorter, more discursive, and designed to be browsed. We do not duplicate material between the two; if a blog post touches on a topic that is also covered in a guide, the blog links to the guide for the canonical version and uses the post to add context, opinion, or a recent example.

Posts are written by James Will. We do not accept guest posts, sponsored content, or paid placements. If a manufacturer sends us a vehicle to test, we disclose that fact at the top of the relevant post; if a regulator cites our work, we note that too. We treat the byline as a real authorship signal, not a content-marketing slot.

Editorial Standards

Every blog post is reviewed by James before publication. The review checks for technical accuracy, attribution of sources, and clarity of argument. We do not publish AI-generated drafts without substantial human editing; we do not paraphrase press releases; we do not run sponsored segments. If we get something wrong, we issue a date-stamped correction at the top of the post and email subscribers (where applicable) to let them know.

Comments are not currently open on the blog. The reason is simple: we would rather have a small number of high-quality conversations by email than a large number of low-quality conversations in a comment thread. If you would like to discuss a post, please use the contact form and reference the post title in your message.

Subscribe to Updates

We do not maintain a separate email newsletter. The simplest way to follow new posts is to bookmark this page and revisit it every couple of weeks. If you would like to be notified about major methodology changes that affect published guides, the guides themselves are updated in place with a visible "Last Updated" date, and the affected guide is linked from the most recent blog post that announces the change.
