Editorial standards

Editorial Policy

The editorial policy requires traceable sourcing, visible uncertainty, and a separation between factual records, calculations, and recommendations.

Evidence and labelling

Time-sensitive claims should link to the regulator or operator material used and show a relevant date. Derived figures must identify their inputs and method.

Unverified, incomplete, promotional, or restricted offers are labelled accordingly and are not presented as generally available facts.

Comparisons and commercial influence

Ranking requires a documented, consistent comparison rule applied to eligible records. Payment, referral value, or placement does not turn an ineligible record into a comparison winner.

Any sponsorship, advertising, affiliate relationship, or supplied material that affects a page must be disclosed where readers encounter it. Unlabelled paid placement is not treated as editorial evidence.

Updates

Material corrections change the affected record and its update date. Historical wording is not silently rewritten when retaining a correction note is necessary to understand the change.
