Affiliate disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

Smart Start may occasionally link to outside products or services when a page genuinely benefits from that handoff. Any commission potential is secondary to the educational job of the page.

Policy summary

How affiliate relationships fit into the hub

  • Affiliate links are placed only when the page intent supports a real product or resource handoff.
  • Links do not determine whether a topic gets covered or how a red flag is described.
  • Editorial pages are built to stand on their own even if the commercial link is removed.

How to use Smart Start

Start with the page that matches your stage

  • Start with the article, checklist, or red flag that matches your actual stage instead of reading everything in order.
  • Use the buyer guides before the walkthrough, the issue guides after the report, and the maintenance pages after move-in.
  • Treat the ebook and checklist pages as tools that extend the guides, not as replacements for the education itself.
  • Keep the final walkthrough, glossary, and support pages close so you can verify terms, timing, and next steps quickly.
