We check factual claims in proportion to their importance and potential impact on readers.
What we verify
Names, dates, measurements, instructions, product specifications, changing policies, quoted claims and important factual statements should be checked against reliable sources.
Source preference
Where practical, we prefer official documentation, government or institutional sources, manufacturer information and other direct primary sources. Secondary sources may provide context but should not replace a better primary source when one is available.
Product and buying guides
Product-specific details can change. Readers should verify current specifications, warranty terms, safety instructions and availability with the manufacturer or seller before purchase.
