How we write, and what we will not.

Pinaka speaks as a sharper, slightly older peer who has already done what you are doing. We call this voice "The Fellow." It is precise, plain-spoken, and unflinching about what the data shows.

Sentences are short. We pair strength with cost: "You move fast. Your accuracy on hard questions drops three points when you do." We use numbers when we have them. We say "do not" rather than "don't." Em-dashes are banned. Exclamation marks are banned. So is anything that reads as hype.

Diagnoses, not pep talks. Reading Comprehension explanations that name the trap, not generic affirmations. Numbers anchored in specific public sources or, once cohort data exists, in Pinaka attempt data with collection method named. Methodology pages that show our work. No invented statistics.

No "unlock your potential," "empower," "revolutionize," "game-changer," "cutting-edge," "leverage," "synergy," "take it to the next level." No "imagine," "picture this," or "let us dive in." No rhetorical questions in headlines. No fake urgency. No emoji.

No founder bylines on marketing surfaces. No fake instructors or stock-photo coaches. No score guarantees. No before-and-after testimonials with conveniently large gaps. No anonymous five-star quotes.

Numbers in Pinaka content come from one of three sources, each labeled: (1) public LSAC published reports, linked to the original; (2) published research, cited inline with author, journal, year; (3) Pinaka cohort data, once enough attempts have accumulated, anonymized and aggregated, with the form template and date range named. Until Pinaka cohort data exists, no current-tense cohort claims appear on marketing surfaces.

Every recurring statistic on Pinaka carries an "as of YYYY-MM-DD" timestamp inline or in a page-level datestamp. This applies to T14 median scores, LSAT score-conversion tables, percentile-to-scaled mappings, and any figure drawn from LSAC or ABA sources. Facts without a date are flagged for review before the next monthly cycle.

When a source is unavailable or behind a paywall, we say so. We do not paraphrase a citation we cannot verify. If a number is illustrative rather than empirical, we say it is illustrative.

Every question explanation in the Pinaka drill pool follows the same five-band shape: short answer, per-option diagnosis, approach, take-home lesson, timing strategy. The shape is enforced by the schema; an explanation missing a band does not ship.

Before a question enters the drill pool, the explanation is reviewed against three checks: does it name the trap pattern in the per-option diagnosis, is the take-home lesson abstract enough to transfer to other questions, does the timing strategy match the question's actual difficulty band. A fourth check is added once Pinaka cohort data exists: is the cohort miss-rate the data shows consistent with the explanation's claim about which option is the common trap.

Pinaka reviews all factual content on a monthly basis. Pages that cite time-sensitive data, such as T14 LSAT medians or LSAC format changes, are reviewed in the month after any LSAC announcement that affects them. Dates on each page reflect the most recent review.

When we get something wrong, we fix it visibly. Edited pages carry a short revision note at the top with the date and the change. We do not silently rewrite history. The version history of every Sunday Analysis post is available on request.

If a question explanation is contested by a credible source, we update it and surface the change in the explanation's revision log. The student-app dashboard surfaces a notice to anyone who saw the prior version.
