How we check

Four steps on every page, with no exceptions

  1. 1

    Find the primary source

    The law, the framework, the court order, the company's own policy page. Not a summary of a summary.

  2. 2

    Link it

    Every claim that matters carries a link you can open, so you can check us as easily as we checked it.

  3. 3

    Date it

    AI rules and product settings change every few weeks, so each page says when we last checked it.

  4. 4

    Say what is still unknown

    Each guide ends with what is disputed or not yet settled, instead of a confident guess.
