01 — Identify the subject
We begin with the exact brand, domain, country claim and legal operator. Similar names are separated before research begins, because a brand name alone may refer to unrelated services.
- Brand and aliases
- Current and historical domains
- Named operator
- Claimed jurisdiction
02 — Collect primary material
Priority is given to records closest to the underlying fact: company registers, regulator databases, official warnings, RDAP data and the platform’s own legal documents. Screenshots and archived copies are dated and contextualised.
03 — Compare claims
We compare statements across the website, terms, privacy notice, marketing pages and external records. A statement made by the subject is labelled as a claim until another source supports it.
04 — Classify the evidence
Findings are marked Verified, Unverified, Conflicting or Not enough evidence. These labels describe evidence coverage; they are not financial ratings and do not predict future conduct.
05 — Review and update
A publication shows its review date, source list and unresolved questions. New evidence can trigger an update, correction note or full re-review. The subject is offered a documented route to reply.
