How we verify

An AI finds candidates, but rules decide what is published: we open the official page ourselves and the quoted sentence must be there word for word.

Amounts must appear in the quote, and a translation that changes a number is rejected. If the provider's name doesn't match the source domain (aggregators, look-alikes), it is rejected.

Affiliate and referral links and tracking parameters found on the web are stripped, and shortened URLs are refused. A referral link the operator obtained personally is added separately from the official source link, only on active items and labelled as sponsored. After publishing we re-check daily; if the source disappears or the sentence changes, the item is withdrawn.
