Editorial Policy

This page explains how utilities and guides on Aroha Radiance are researched, tested, reviewed, and kept up to date.

Research process

Each calculator starts from commonly used, real-world conventions — standard saree lengths, typical fabric-yardage rules of thumb, common styling pairings — rather than an invented rule. Where a convention varies (for example, draping style changing fabric consumption), we account for that variation directly in the formula rather than picking a single average.

Formula review

Every calculation is written as a standalone function with an automated test suite covering normal inputs, boundary values (zero, negative, and unrealistically large numbers), and rounding behavior. Formulas are also checked by hand against a set of independently worked examples before publishing.

Manual test cases

Beyond automated tests, each calculator is manually run through at least three realistic scenarios end to end — entering values as a visitor would, confirming the result, and checking that the explanation and disclaimers make sense for that scenario.

Content review

Every published utility page includes its purpose, instructions, worked examples, assumptions, and limitations — not just a bare calculator. Guides are written to answer one clear question with original explanations, not summarized or copied from another source.

Update process

When a formula, assumption, or piece of content changes, the page's content is updated and the change is reflected in that page's last-updated date. We don't silently change published calculations without updating that date.

Sources

Our calculators draw on widely used fashion, tailoring, and styling conventions (standard saree length tiers, typical seam allowances, common jewelry-to-neckline pairings) rather than a single proprietary source. Where a convention is genuinely disputed or regional, we note that in the tool's assumptions or limitations section.

Limitations

Every calculator on this site produces a planning estimate, not a professional measurement, financial recommendation, or styling rule that overrides personal preference. See each tool's own Assumptions and Limitations sections for specifics, and see our Corrections Policy for how to report an issue.
