How we work
Evidence should be specific enough to challenge.
Where an article shows an evidence mode, the label describes that page—not the whole library. Pending work stays pending until its own audit is complete.
Read our methods- 01Hands-on
- Used only when the article has supporting test proof.
- 02Source verified
- Key claims checked against named, current sources.
- 03Editorial guidance
- A synthesis of published evidence without a testing claim.
- 04Verification pending
- The page still needs an independent evidence audit.
