Fact-checking policy

One source of truth. All regulatory figures live in a single central dataset rather than being written into individual pages. When a figure changes, it changes once, everywhere, on the same day.

Status labels. Each fact carries one of four labels. Current: confirmed on the official source at the stated verification date. Historical: accurate for a past period, superseded since. Unconfirmed: circulating but not found in current official material. Awaiting official clarification: the official material is silent or ambiguous.

Verification dates. Facts show when we last checked the source (2026-07-16 for the current cycle) and when the next scheduled review is due (2026-10-16). The verification date is the date we checked, not necessarily the date a rule took effect, which is noted separately where documented.

Source links. Every fact links to the official document behind it, so you can verify without trusting us.

Change logging. When a fact changes, the old value, new value, date and source are recorded publicly in the change log.

The full source register is on the official sources page.
