What we will not do
- Publish anything without a source link to the issuing authority
- Publish anything without named human review
- Present an announced-but-unpublished change as settled policy
- Edit an error silently — corrections are published and dated
- Delete a superseded post — it is updated and marked, so links keep working
What we do
- Show both the publication date and the last-updated date
- State the effective date separately from the announcement date
- Say precisely who is affected — entity types, jurisdictions, thresholds
- Re-verify every live update at least quarterly
- Mark anything we could not verify rather than rounding it into a claim
