How we research and publish
The goal is not to make every page sound certain. It is to make clear what is known, what varies, what is supported by evidence and what still requires investigation.
Answer the real question first
Important pages should answer the visitor's primary question in plain English before technical or legal detail.
Prefer authoritative sources
Medical and scientific claims should rely on primary or authoritative sources; historical claims should identify reliable documentary support where available.
Show uncertainty
We distinguish documented, reported, possible and still-to-be-investigated relationships rather than treating them as equivalent.
Do not infer individual exposure from a category
An occupation, facility, product type or era can identify a lead. It does not by itself prove what happened to one person.
Make sources visible
Substantive knowledge pages should link to the evidence behind important propositions so readers and machines can verify the foundation.
Review changes over time
Medical treatment, trust procedures, corporate status and other time-sensitive information should be rechecked before relying on it.
Credibility should be observable
We would rather show the source, explain the limit and identify the unanswered question than ask a reader to accept a conclusion because it appears on a law firm's website.
