How editorial decisions are made

Editorial Policy

Readers should be able to see where a price or code came from, when it was checked and why a plan was or was not compared. This policy sets that standard.

What earns a place on the site

Time-sensitive claims link to the regulator or operator material used and show a relevant check date. Any calculated figure must identify its inputs and method.

Incomplete, promotional, targeted or restricted offers are labelled as such. If a material detail cannot be confirmed, the record is withheld from a ranking.

Comparisons and commercial relationships

A ranking needs one documented comparison rule applied consistently to eligible records. Payment, referral value or placement cannot turn an ineligible offer into a winner.

Sponsorship, advertising, affiliate relationships or supplied material must be disclosed where readers encounter them. Paid placement is never treated as evidence.

Corrections and updates

A material correction changes the affected record and its update date. When the earlier wording could have changed a reader's decision, a correction note is kept rather than silently rewriting the history.
