How articles are researched and maintained

Sourcing standard

Articles prioritize primary sources such as government advisories, technical standards, first-party product documentation, public datasets, and direct reference material. Secondary coverage may be used for context, but it does not replace primary evidence.

Product-claim standard

The site avoids claiming features, coverage, partnerships, accuracy rates, or response workflows that are not supported by the code or clearly documented. Marketing language should not outrun implementation.

Update policy

• Articles are reviewed when underlying guidance changes materially.
• Methodology pages are updated when scanner behavior changes.
• Date-sensitive claims should include concrete dates or a reviewed date.

Correction policy

If you find a factual error, outdated recommendation, or misleading phrasing, use the contact page. Corrections that materially affect user understanding should be updated promptly and reflected in the page's revision date.

Affiliate and sponsorship policy

Editorial content should be written for utility first. If the site ever adds sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or paid placements, those relationships should be disclosed clearly and should not change the factual standard applied to the content.

Why this matters for a safety site

Link, place, and business trust questions are easy to oversimplify. Thin content, inflated claims, and vague advice create risk for readers. The site's editorial rule is straightforward: if a claim cannot be defended, it should not be on the page.
