Source Verification Policy

We prioritize sources in the following order when researching a company or ranking fact: (1) government, regulator, or certification issuer records — the highest authority for licences, registrations, and official filings; (2) the company’s own official website or documents, for service and product claims; (3) the company’s Google Business Profile, for location and reputation snapshots, always with a checked date recorded; (4) reputable media or industry bodies, for independent context; (5) specialist directories, for discovery only, never as sole evidence for a high-impact claim; (6) official social media accounts, for time-sensitive announcements only.

We do not use anonymous aggregators, copied “Top 10” listicles, or AI-generated summaries as primary evidence for any rank, licence, or company fact.
