Methodology

What follows sets out our approach to choosing subjects and handling data. The limits of what is written are stated here directly.

Where topics and evidence come from

We take on questions that keep coming back. Where data is missing, we say so plainly instead of filling the gap.

What the material does not replace

What is set out here is the general rule, not the analysis of one matter. A decision with consequences needs a consultation with a qualified specialist.

What happens to a text after publication

A text is edited when it stops being accurate. Cosmetic edits do not count as an update.
