This page is a running log of meaningful changes to Casual Findings. It is not a list of every typo we fix; it records the changes a returning reader would actually want to know about - articles rewritten, standards raised, policies added or rebuilt, titles changed. Substantive factual errors are handled separately, on our corrections page. Everything else that changes the site in a way worth noting lands here, with a date.
We keep this log because a site that asks for your trust should show its work, including the unflattering parts. Where an entry below describes fixing something that should not have been wrong in the first place, that is the point of the page, not an accident of it. Each entry says what changed, when, and why it mattered.
August 11, 2026 - Titles adjusted on several list articles
We adjusted the titles of several list articles so that each title matches the content the article actually delivers. Where a title promised more items than the article contained, or framed a piece as something it was not, the title now says plainly what the article is. Article bodies were not changed as part of this pass; this was a truth-in-labeling fix, and we are logging it as one.
August 2026 - Site-wide editorial overhaul
We rewrote the site's articles to meet a new editorial standard. Recommendations now name specific products a reader can actually find, rather than pointing at generic categories, and the links in those articles were verified against live retailer listings at the time of the rewrite. This pass covered the site as a whole, not a selection of articles.
The site's policy pack was rebuilt at the same time. The editorial policy, the affiliate disclosure, and the other trust pages linked in the footer were rewritten in plain language to describe what we actually do, including the things we do not do, like lab-testing. This changelog, the corrections page, and the methodology page are part of that same rebuild.
The log begins with that overhaul. There are no earlier entries because there was no earlier log, and we would rather start an honest record late than backfill a flattering one.
