Statskan policy · Corrections and scope review

Revision Policy

If Statskan material does not match the confirmed instructions or contains an error, send a clear correction request. Each request is reviewed against the original scope before the next steps and timing are confirmed.

Include these details

  • ✓ Original prompt and confirmed scope
  • ✓ Exact issue or missing requirement
  • ✓ Relevant files, output, or feedback
  • ✓ Requested correction
  • ✓ Current deadline and time zone

Corrections Within the Confirmed Scope

The original instructions, agreed deliverable, software, dataset, method, and level of explanation define the scope used to review a request.

Calculation or Code Error

A formula, calculation, command, or code issue in material supplied by Statskan needs correction.

Missed Agreed Requirement

An element clearly included in the confirmed instructions or scope was not addressed.

Output or Interpretation Issue

A supplied statistical output explanation conflicts with the results or agreed method.

Clarification

An explanation already included in the confirmed scope needs clearer wording or additional steps.

Changes That May Require a New Quote

A request becomes new work when it changes the agreed task rather than correcting the original delivery.

Usually Within Scope

  • ✓ Correcting an identified error
  • ✓ Adding an agreed item that was missed
  • ✓ Clarifying the existing explanation
  • ✓ Fixing agreed formatting or labeling

Usually New Scope

  • A changed prompt, rubric, or course requirement
  • A new dataset, method, software package, or question
  • Additional sections, analyses, charts, or deliverables
  • Instructor feedback that introduces new requirements
  • A different service type or substantially expanded explanation

How to Request a Correction

Send one message that identifies the original scope and the exact change needed.

01

Describe the issue

Point to the calculation, section, code, output, or agreed requirement that needs attention.

02

Attach the evidence

Include the original instructions and any relevant file, screenshot, feedback, or corrected data.

03

Scope review

Statskan compares the request with the confirmed task and identifies whether it is a correction or new work.

04

Confirm next steps

You receive the proposed action, expected timing, and any additional price before expanded work begins.

How the Policy Applies to Different Services

Focused Guidance

Corrections cover errors or missed items within the confirmed question. A different question or added requirement is new scope.

Live Tutoring

A completed session cannot be revised like a file. You may request clarification, while substantial follow-up may require another session.

Data or Software Projects

The confirmed dataset, method, software, outputs, and deliverables determine whether a requested change is a correction or new work.

Timing

Correction timing depends on complexity, files, software, availability, and the current deadline. Timing is confirmed after review.

Policy Limits and Payment Questions

Send requests promptly

Contact Statskan as soon as you identify an issue. Delayed requests can affect availability and whether the original files, software, or context remain accessible.

Results and grades are not guaranteed

Tutoring and guidance support learning and interpretation. A correction does not guarantee a particular grade, instructor decision, software result, or academic outcome.

Payment concerns are reviewed separately

Any payment dispute or refund request is reviewed under the Terms of Service and the scope confirmed for that request.

Questions About Corrections

How do I request a correction?

Contact Statskan with the original request, the specific issue, the change you need, supporting instructions, and your current deadline and time zone.

What counts as a correction within the original scope?

A correction may include fixing an error, addressing an agreed requirement that was missed, or clarifying material already included in the confirmed scope.

Are new instructions included in a correction?

A changed prompt, new dataset, different method, additional question, or expanded deliverable is normally new scope and may require a separate quote.

How long does a correction take?

Timing depends on the issue, files, software, availability, and deadline. Statskan reviews the request and confirms the expected timing before proceeding.
