The desk prefers primary public sources: official statistics, operative policy text, government guidance, and direct institutional publications. A brief links to the narrowest useful source page when one is available.
Every material figure needs a measure, date, geographic scope, unit, and source. Stock, flow, announcement, and completed project are not treated as interchangeable terms. A later revision does not erase the older evidence; it adds a new dated record.
Analysis is separated from reported fact. If a conclusion depends on interpretation, the text identifies it as an inference and states the limit. Missing information stays missing. It is not replaced with a convenient estimate unless the method and assumptions are shown.
Corrections should point to a current primary source and identify the exact statement that needs review. The publication does not copy or restore former event material, award listings, logos, or organizer claims.
