How we verify
Methodology
Every fact on this site carries the date we checked it. This is how we decide when a fact is still trustworthy — and when it isn't anymore.
The Freshness Engine is this site's technical core: every price, opening hour, safety note and recommendation is stored with the date a team member checked it in person or through a direct source (the business itself, an official record).
The traffic light
Green means checked within the last 90 days. Amber, 90 to 180. Red, more than 180 days — or a fact that was never verified at all, which we treat as the worst case: we don't know if it's still true, so we assume it isn't.
The colour is never the only signal: the exact date sits right next to it, and who verified it when that applies. A traffic light with no date is worthless.
What we review, and how often
Place prices and hours, prioritising the highest-traffic listings. Neighbourhood safety notes, revisited whenever something relevant changes or, at minimum, every six months. Pillar guides, on a quarterly cycle. A place reported closed gets flagged immediately, not on the next cycle.
When we get it wrong
Every article ends with its public update history. If we correct a fact, it stays there — we don't delete it or pretend it was always right.
