Education, not advice.
The line every page and every episode is written to stay on the right side of.
General
Everything published by The Well of Nine — the videos, the study pages, the written companions, the reading list, and the emails — is general education. It is not professional advice of any kind, it is not tailored to your circumstances, and reading or watching it creates no professional relationship. The practical episodes say plainly what to do next and when to hand a problem to a professional; that instruction is part of the teaching, not a formality.
Medical
Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing here is a substitute for hands-on training. In an emergency, call your local emergency number first. Where a page or episode names a guideline body (for example the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care or the Stop the Bleed program), that body’s current guidance governs; our material is an explanation of it, not a replacement for it. Take the class. Put your hands on the real equipment under an instructor before you count on it.
Legal
Nothing here is legal advice. Self-defense law, use-of-force standards, and criminal and civil procedure differ by jurisdiction and change over time. The material explains how the machinery generally works so that you can ask better questions; the answers for your situation come from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
Financial and statistical
Nothing here is financial or investment advice. The Ledger teaches how to read a number, not what to do with your money.
Equipment
No page recommends life-safety, medical, or defensive equipment by affiliate link, and nothing on the site is sponsored. Where a device is named, buy it from the manufacturer or a known supplier; counterfeits of safety equipment are common on general marketplaces.
Sources and errors
We source every claim and re-read scripts against their sources, and we will still be wrong sometimes. The corrections policy explains how to tell us and what happens when you do. Use of this material is at your own risk; The Well of Nine accepts no liability for actions taken on the basis of it.
