Editorial evidence

Sources are part of the page.

Every canonical record stores the publisher, source URL, evidence role and the date the source was checked.

Human accountability

Authorship is explicit.

Records identify the named author/source reviewer. Hands-on testing is only claimed when a test environment is actually recorded.

Community evidence

“Worked” is data, not a claim.

Outcome percentages stay hidden until at least 10 unique-browser results exist, and remain separate from editorial verification.

Public troubleshooting library

Searchable guides and local-first diagnostic tools.

80 reviewed guides are available for search, alongside five local-first diagnostic tools. The remaining records stay on editorial hold.
