Verification

Every fact we publish is checked against a primary source before it runs, and we keep the receipts. This page explains the system and the policy behind it.

Source trails

Reported pieces carry a Verification section listing the sources we checked — official sites, transit authorities, licensing bodies, guides of record. It is the same trail our editors used, made visible so you can re-check us. Of 148 published pieces, 0 carry a published source trail; the rest are short reference pages or listicles whose sources are linked inline.

Fact-checking before launch

Before this edition went live, every pre-existing draft was re-verified against current reality. Where a piece could be corrected, we corrected it. Where its core premise did not survive — an event that wasn't happening, a venue that didn't exist — we withdrew it rather than patch it. Those withdrawals are logged, dated, in the corrections log.

What we will not do

• Publish a number we cannot point to. Estimates are labelled as estimates.
• Quote a real person words they did not say.
• Relaunder a business's self-reported stats as our own measurement.
• Let a commercial relationship touch a Curb Score.
