Sources, context and clear responsibility help you decide what to trust and what to check next.
Start with the sourceInformation should be understandable.
Decisions should stay in your hands.
A source tells you where information came from. A date tells you when it applied or was checked. Neither makes a claim broader than the evidence supports.
Look for the population, period and limits behind an answer, especially when it affects a business decision.
The published policy states its terms. A recent source check does not change its effective date or establish that every practice has been audited.
Keep the type of information and its limits beside the conclusion.
Present in a named source.
Check its date and scope. A published value may still need correction.
Confirmed by someone authorized to speak for the business.
Owner confirmation is different from an independent review.
Calculated from inputs and a method.
An estimate is not an appraisal, offer or guarantee.
A conclusion drawn from available information.
The supporting evidence and uncertainty matter.
Information provided by a named third party.
A source relationship does not imply an endorsement.
There is not enough information to answer.
Missing information does not mean zero, no risk or no opportunity.
Check who wrote or reviewed a page, what they reviewed and when. A reviewer’s name on one article does not mean they reviewed every page or approved a decision for your business.
AI-generated answers can contain mistakes. Check the underlying sources, assumptions and material details before relying on an answer or approving an action.
General information and prepared documents do not replace legal, tax, accounting or other qualified advice. Bring in the right professional when a decision requires it.
A named source, provider or organization is not automatically a customer, partner or endorser. Fees, sponsorships and other relationships matter when evaluating a recommendation.
A useful correction starts with the specific claim and the evidence that would change it.
Email a correctionInclude the business name or page URL and the exact detail.
Explain the correction and include a supporting source if available.
Leave passwords, identification numbers and private financial documents out of an initial email.
