Editorial Policy Corrections
Hendricks publishes measurement. Measurement that cannot be corrected in public is not measurement.
This page states what gets corrected, how to report an error, and what the firm did the last time it found one in its own work.
Corrections policy
Hendricks corrects any published statement of fact that turns out to be wrong, including figures, dates, names, definitions, and the machine-readable claims a page emits in its structured data. A substantive correction is dated, described, and left visible in the log on this page rather than edited away, and anyone can report an error through the contact form.
Scope What gets logged, and what gets fixed quietly.
The line is whether the change alters a claim. A change that alters a claim is logged. A change that does not is not, because a log padded with typo fixes hides the corrections that matter.
| The change | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| A statement of fact that is wrong: a figure, a date, a name, a definition, a source, or a claim in structured data | Corrected on the page and logged here with both dates, what was published, and what changed. |
| A claim that is accurate but reads as more than the evidence behind it supports | Narrowed to the claim the evidence carries, and logged. Overstating is an error even when every number in the sentence is right. |
| A number whose method, sample, or date range was described incompletely | The description is completed and logged. The figure stands only if the completed description still supports it. |
| A typo, a broken link, a formatting fault, or a rewording that alters no claim | Fixed without an entry. |
Reporting An Error How to report an error.
Use the contact form and select Other. Include enough that the claim can be checked without a reply first.
- The address of the page
- The sentence, figure, or table cell in question
- What you believe is correct
- How you know, where that can be shared
Every report gets one of three answers: the claim is corrected, the claim stands and the reason is given, or the claim comes off the page while it is checked.
A report that produces no answer is a failure of this policy rather than a decision under it.
Open the contact formHow A Correction Is Recorded Dated, described, and left visible.
A corrected page carries the correction rather than a clean version of itself. The entry states what was published, not only what replaced it, so a reader can see the claim that was wrong.
Each entry records the date the claim was published, the date it was corrected, what was wrong, and what changed. Where a figure was revised, both figures appear.
Structured data is in scope. A claim a visitor never reads but a machine can read is still a published claim, and the first entry below is one of those.
Where a published Hendricks figure is contradicted by someone running the same design, the contradiction is published here beside the original figure. That case is the reason this page exists.
Log Corrections to date.
One entry. The log opens with the first correction Hendricks recorded about itself, and it does not reconstruct changes made before this page existed.
A third employer in the founder structured data on the About page
Published . Corrected . Page: About.
- What was published
- The Person structured data on the About page listed three organizations under alumniOf: Merkle, Dentsu, and SolarWinds.
- What was wrong
- The verified career record names Merkle as the single employer of record, and the visible role timeline on the same page named Merkle and SolarWinds only. The third organization existed in the markup and nowhere a reader could see it, which made it a claim about the founder that the page itself did not support.
- What changed
- Dentsu was removed from alumniOf the same day. A unit test now asserts that every organization in alumniOf also appears in the visible role timeline, so the markup cannot again state an employer the page does not show.
Honest limitation
This log begins on the day the page shipped.
Hendricks kept no public corrections log before this page. Earlier changes to the site are in version control and are not enumerated here, and nothing on this page claims there were none.
The log records corrections to what Hendricks published. It is not a change log for the site, and it is not an audit performed by anyone outside the firm.
