Who publishes the guidance
Articles and tools are published by the Timecard Lab editorial team. We write from the perspective of a software company building timekeeping and operating controls. We do not present Timecard Lab as DCAA, a contracting officer, an auditor, a law firm, or a public accounting firm, and we do not invent professional credentials or named reviewers.
How we research regulated topics
For government-contracting content, we begin with primary materials from sources such as DCAA, Acquisition.gov, GSA, and other relevant government publishers. We distinguish a source’s actual language from our operational interpretation, date the review, and link the materials a reader should verify. Vendor pages and community discussions may help us understand buyer questions, but they do not replace authoritative sources for compliance claims.
What a review date means
A visible review date means we checked the article’s cited sources, material links, product references, and conversion paths on that date. It does not mean an agency approved the article, the reader’s system, or Timecard Lab. Contract terms, regulations, guidance, and official web pages can change, so readers should verify current requirements before acting.
Product claims and comparisons
We explain what Timecard Lab is designed to do and the boundaries of that design. Comparisons focus on operating model, workflow, implementation scope, and buyer fit. We avoid stating that a product is “DCAA approved” or that software alone creates compliance. Where another vendor’s current feature or price matters, we verify it against the vendor’s own materials and date the comparison.
Calculators, templates, and downloadable resources
Tools expose their assumptions and explain what a result does not prove. Templates and checklists are educational starting points, not legal, accounting, audit, tax, or contract advice. Users remain responsible for authorized source data, company-specific procedures, qualified review, and the evidence that the process actually operates.
Corrections
If a factual statement, source, calculation, or product claim is materially wrong, we correct it and update the review date or add context where the change matters. Send a specific correction request, including the page and supporting source, to [email protected].
