How sources are selected and cited
Changeable claims prefer the competent authority. Primary commercial sources are used only for facts within their control and are labelled. Secondary sources can provide context but do not replace the original evidence. Sources are reviewed for relevance, date, geography and the exact claim they support.
Important claims should carry a nearby source
A final source directory helps readers explore an authority, but it should not force them to guess which link supports a threshold, fee, duration, market figure or process. Where practical, the material statement links directly to the relevant official service card or release.
If official pages conflict, the difference is stated and the active issuing route is checked rather than silently choosing the more convenient version.
