Source-linking

Every status assertion and claim-check verdict is tied to one or more controlling sources. We link to official pages, PDFs, or archives whenever possible.

Review

Substance status pages are reviewed by a qualified regulatory reviewer. Rule explainers are reviewed for legal accuracy. Updates are dated and may include author, fact-checker, and legal reviewer credits.

Corrections

When we find an error, we correct it, note the change, and update the last-verified date. See our corrections log.

Independence

We do not accept payment or incentives to alter a status, ranking, or conclusion. Commercial relationships are disclosed.
