How we work
- Official sources first. Every fact comes from an operator, ministry or official page, listed at the end of each article.
- Dated. Each guide shows when its facts were last checked, and we update it when a source changes.
- No invented experiences. We explain how things work and how to choose. We don't write "I tried this" unless someone did.
