Research and claim standards

Safety, legal, licensing, medical, permit, price, and performance claims require an appropriate primary source and an explicit date or limitation. Competitor pages and AI answers are not treated as authoritative evidence.

AI may help prepare a draft from an approved source pack. It may not invent a fact, source, credential, price, local office, provider, review, or result. Generated pages remain noindex until human and required professional review.

  • Answer the urgent question first
  • Show what cannot be determined remotely
  • Name the source and research date
  • Correct or remove unsupported claims

Updates and corrections

Rules, programs, public contacts, licenses, and provider availability can change. Time-sensitive records receive shorter review dates and may be removed while being checked.

A material safety or accuracy report takes priority over new publishing. The affected page or referral route may be disabled immediately while the issue is investigated.
