Editorial & Source Standards

Source hierarchy

Not every source is equal. A claim is only as strong as what stands behind it, so this site ranks sources in a fixed order and cites the strongest one available:

• Official government, agency, and statutory sources first — the text of a law, an agency's own published guidance, or an issuing office's current instructions.
• Industry guides second, and only with the publisher's name and the publication or update date shown, so a reader can weigh the source and check whether it has aged.
• Platform help centers for platform mechanics only — how a listing account, a payout, or a permission actually works on that platform, cited for that narrow purpose.
• Never a competitor page. Another provider's marketing is not a factual basis for anything published here.

Verification dates and figures

Every dated fact carries a review date, and that date means what it says. A review date changes only when a person materially rechecks the underlying source — not on a routine rebuild or edit. Numbers are never quietly updated in place: if a figure changes, the change is visible, and if a figure has not been rechecked, its date does not move to make it look fresher than it is.

Market-data decay policy

Market data ages faster than statute. When this site cites a dated snapshot — a fee range, a data set, an industry estimate — it names the source, the source’s own update date, and the date this site last checked it, so the two dates never blur together. When a fact decays past its review window, a source note is added rather than the number being edited in silence.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or has gone stale, it should be fixed on the record, not buried. Send the page, the specific claim, and the source you believe is correct through the contact page. Substantive corrections are made to the affected claim and its review date, not papered over.

AI-assistance disclosure

Content on this site is produced with AI assistance under human editorial review, checked against the sourcing rules above. AI assistance does not lower the sourcing bar and does not license any of the claims listed below. A person is responsible for what is published.

Claims this site refuses to publish

Some content is off limits regardless of how it might help a page rank or convert. This site does not publish:

• Fabricated reviews or testimonials.
• Fabricated projects, case studies, or portfolios.
• Fabricated credentials, licenses, or certifications.
• Fabricated addresses, staff, or team members.
• Fabricated availability or claimed local experience.
• Invented local prices for the Island Park, Fremont County, or Idaho market.
• Invented revenue or occupancy projections.

Where this fits

These standards support the publisher identity described on the about page and govern the sourced reference material in owner resources.
