Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026.

HD&Me is built by two attorneys. We treat writing about Human Design the way we would treat writing about any other subject we take seriously: with named authors, primary sources, plain language, and a willingness to say what we do not know. This page describes how content on HD&Me is researched, written, reviewed, and updated.

Who writes the content

Every post and page on HD&Me is written or reviewed by Claire and Rachel. Claire is the Founder and CEO of HD&Me and has been an attorney admitted to federal and state bars since 1998. Rachel is the Co-Founder and COO and graduated top of her law school class before building a career in compliance law and joining Claire to co-found HD&Me. We do not publish anonymous content. We do not use ghostwriters.

How we source Human Design content

The Human Design system was developed by Ra Uru Hu in 1987 and is documented in his original work and through the institutions he established. When HD&Me describes Type, Authority, Centers, Channels, Profile, Strategy, or any other system mechanic, we are working from those primary sources. Every post on HD&Me carries a Sources block that names the two institutional sources we work from: the International Human Design School and Jovian Archive.

Where we draw on outside material (psychology, philosophy, statistics, history), we cite that material directly in the post.

What we will and will not claim

Human Design has not been validated by peer-reviewed research. We do not pretend otherwise. We treat Human Design the way it presents itself: as a structured framework for understanding decision-making and energy patterns, evaluated on whether its descriptions hold up in practice rather than on empirical prediction.

What that means in practice:

  • We do not call Human Design a science.
  • We do not make predictive claims about your future.
  • We do not present chart readings as certainties.
  • We do not promise specific outcomes from following any strategy or authority.
  • We name the limits of the framework directly when they are relevant to the question being answered.

How we fact-check

Before a post is published, every Human Design system claim is checked against the primary sources named above. Every outside claim (a statistic, a historical date, a named study) is checked against the cited source. If we cannot find a primary source for a claim, we either remove the claim or rewrite it as a position rather than a fact.

We do not invent statistics. We do not borrow numbers from other Human Design sites without verifying them. If a number appears on HD&Me, it traces to a citation in the post or to data we have access to directly.

How we update content

Human Design is a stable system, but the conversation around it is not. We update posts when:

  • A primary source publishes a clarification or correction.
  • A reader points out an error and we verify it. Corrections are made in the post itself, with a “Last updated” date reflecting the change.
  • Our own thinking on an interpretive question evolves. When that happens, we revise the post and note the revision date.
  • A linked external source moves or disappears. We replace the link or update the citation.

Every post and page on HD&Me carries a visible Last Updated date so readers can see when the content was last reviewed.

Voice and editorial choices

HD&Me writes about Human Design in plain language. We capitalize “Human Design” because it is the proper name of a system. We do not use first person in blog content because the posts are written for the reader, not about us. We do not use clickbait headlines, manufactured urgency, or fear-based copy. We do not promise transformation we cannot deliver.

How we handle commercial content

HD&Me sells two products: the Personalized Report (a written deep-dive on a specific chart) and the Foundational Human Design Reading (a live attorney-led session). Posts that describe the Human Design system frequently link to one or both of these products at natural conversion moments. When we do, the link is contextual: we point to the Personalized Report from a post about Type because the report covers Type. We do not insert commercial links into content that does not naturally call for them.

We are clear about pricing on every product page. The Personalized Report is $49. The Foundational Human Design Reading is $149. The bundle is $175. These prices are in plain text on the relevant pages and updated when they change.

How we handle reader feedback and corrections

If you find an error on HD&Me, please tell us. Email us at the address listed on the contact page. We respond to every legitimate correction request and we publish corrections in the post itself, with a note in the “Last updated” line. We do not silently rewrite posts to hide errors.

What is not on HD&Me

HD&Me does not publish:

  • Predictive content (transit forecasts, fortune-telling, future readings).
  • Sponsored content or paid placements disguised as editorial.
  • Affiliate links that compromise editorial independence. (We may include affiliate links in the future; if we do, they will be marked clearly and we will say so here.)
  • Content that pressures readers into a belief system or community.
