Theo Vandermeer
Methodology & Standards Editor
Calculation methodology, rate caveats, and editorial standards
Theo Vandermeer oversees how CalcIntel documents its methodology and handles editorial standards. The role sets how each calculator's formula and FRED source series are described, how rate caveats and update cadence are disclosed, and how corrections and fact-checks are triaged against the underlying St. Louis Fed releases. Methodology notes, glossary entries, and guide content are AI-assisted in research and drafting, then editorially reviewed against the primary FRED data before publication.
