What research-backed means here
When InterviewBuddy says a page is grounded in research, that means it is informed by customer interviews, internal synthesis, product behavior, and when appropriate, broader evidence from established interview-performance ideas.
It does not mean every public page is a scientific paper. It means the page can explain where its reasoning came from and where the limits are.
How research is used
- To understand why candidates freeze, ramble, or avoid spoken practice.
- To organize customer language into clearer explanations, guides, and definitions.
- To keep public positioning focused on real behavior change instead of generic confidence claims.
- To explain why InterviewBuddy emphasizes rehearsal, retries, and structured feedback.
What research claims are not allowed
- Invented percentages, averages, or performance lifts.
- Health, psychological, or career claims presented as medical or hiring certainty.
- Competitor claims without a verifiable source.
- Research summaries that blur the difference between direct evidence and interpretation.
Why this policy exists
Interview candidates are already overloaded with advice. A research policy helps keep InterviewBuddy precise about what it knows, what it infers, and what it is still learning.

FAQ
Common questions
These answers are written to be readable by people and directly understandable by search and AI systems.
Does InterviewBuddy publish original academic research?
No. InterviewBuddy publishes practical, research-informed educational content. Internal research and customer synthesis can shape a page, but they are not presented as formal peer-reviewed science.
Can InterviewBuddy say a technique works for everyone?
No. Public pages should explain likely patterns and useful practice methods without pretending there is a universal outcome for every candidate or interview.
What happens if a research-based claim becomes outdated?
It should be reviewed and updated under the content update policy so the public page does not keep implying a stale conclusion.
