Fan-Out From Compound Formula

Method being tested

Query fan-out: Answer a distinct follow-up question implied by a live GSC query, not a thin synonym.

Purpose

Build formula support pages.

Current site signal: Compound currently earns visible GSC impressions for compound growth rate calculator, calculate compounding growth, compound rate of return calculator, and formula queries.

Homepage correction need: Existing exposure lands on the homepage and calculator, so new pages must explain formulas, assumptions, examples, and rate terminology.

Evidence used

• Formula pages answer calculators' underlying logic.
• AI extraction needs variable definitions.
• The homepage currently has formula text.

Example

FV, PV, r, n, and t should each be defined near the formula.

Keep or revise rule
