How these pages are written
Every explanation in this Gallery is written to a standard and reviewed before it publishes. This page covers who writes them, how they are made, and what you may do with them.
What you may do with these pages
The Gallery is free to read, in every language it is offered in. There is no account to make and nothing to pay.
You may quote from it with credit, link to it, share it, use it in class, display it while teaching, assign it to students, and print copies for the students you teach. None of that needs permission.
Held back are republishing the Gallery elsewhere, selling it, translating it, and copying it wholesale into a dataset. Those need written permission from Bluebonnet Software LLC. The full terms are in the Terms of Service.
Who writes them
I build and write Clicked on my own, operating as Bluebonnet Software LLC, a Texas company.
My background is an engineering degree and two MBAs, one in oil and gas and one in finance, then more than fifteen years in corporate roles: investor relations, mergers and acquisitions, financial planning, sales, purchasing, project management and operations, and currently corporate finance.
Most of these terms are not academic. Earn-outs, working capital adjustments, covenants and escrow holdbacks get argued over by people with money at stake, and I have sat in those arguments.
My work has included preparing written case submissions for external counsel to review and file, a year handling contracts, and the legal exposure that comes with M&A. It is business experience with legal documents, not legal training. Nothing in the Gallery is legal advice, and none of it is written by a lawyer.
How they are made
Each page is written against a written standard that sets out what an explanation has to do before it can be published. I apply that standard to every card on every page, and nothing goes out until I have. Each page goes through several rounds of editing before it publishes.
AI drafts within it. The drafting is AI-assisted; the standard and the review are not. No page here is generated and published untouched.
Every term is offered at three depths, and each of those has a casual version. Every page also carries a conventional formal definition, the kind you would find in a textbook, because someone who needs the formal wording should not have to go elsewhere for it.
Terms are chosen because people get stuck on them, not because they are popular searches.
If you want the argument behind all of this, it is here: Most explanations fail for the same reason.
About the translations
Pages are published in English, Spanish, German and Japanese. The English pages are the ones I review line by line, because English is the only one of the four I read.
The other three are translated from the English and held to the same standard, but I cannot check them the way I check the English. What I do instead is sample pages across each language and run an independent model over them, looking for drift: a term that has quietly changed meaning, a tone that has slipped, an analogy that no longer lands.
That is a real limit and I would rather state it than have you discover it. If something reads wrong in Spanish, German or Japanese, that is exactly what I want to hear about.
When I am wrong
If something here is wrong, unclear or out of date, tell me at [email protected]. I will check what comes in, and I will fix what turns out to be wrong.
Explanations are AI-assisted and reviewed, and they can still be wrong. Nothing in the Gallery is professional advice of any kind, financial, legal, medical or otherwise. It is written to help you understand a term, not to help you make a decision.
Where it comes from
The Gallery is the public half of Clicked, a browser extension that explains any text you highlight, wherever you are reading it.
It exists because capable people sit in meetings and read documents full of terms nobody has ever explained to them, and asking feels worse than nodding. These pages are the answer written down.
