Evidence & transparency

Sources and references.

We prioritize primary rules, regulatory material and reproducible mathematical analysis. A source supports the stated model; it does not make every rule set interchangeable.

How sources are used

Important figures are checked against the complete rules and denominator stated on the page. When a guide uses a simplified strategy, we label it as simplified. Commercial relationships do not determine which source or conclusion is used.
