Standards & Methodology Editor

Methodology, data caveats, editorial standards, and corrections

Adrian Holloway oversees how ChildcareCost documents its methodology and editorial standards. The role sets how the affordability ratio is defined, how NDCP's known caveats are disclosed — that prices are modeled from state licensing records rather than live provider rate sheets, and that coverage is thinner for rural and territorial counties — and how corrections and fact-checks are handled so any value can be traced back to its federal source. Methodology, glossary, and explainer pages are AI-assisted in research and drafting, then reviewed against the primary DOL and Census sources before publication.
