What we record
For safety or regulatory claims, we record the source URL, authority, access date, geographic scope, and what the source actually supports. We do not turn a checklist into a permit decision or a general hazard warning into a diagnosis of one home.
Costs, products, and case examples
Costs are labeled by location, date, source, and included scope. Product claims are checked against the exact model and manufacturer documentation. Illustrations are labeled; we do not fabricate completed projects, inspections, test results, before-and-after photos, or homeowner experiences.
Updates
Safety alerts and recalls trigger prompt review. Core guides receive periodic link and source checks. Material corrections are dated and explained through the Corrections Policy.
